Message - Unable to edit the selected item. The test object, to which the item corresponds, or one of its parent item's objects cannot be found.

Applies to TestComplete 15.73, last modified on March 04, 2025

TestComplete shows this message when you are trying to call the Edit Name Mapping Item dialog for an item in the Name Mapping repository and TestComplete cannot find the appropriate object in your tested application.

TestComplete may not be able to find the object for the following reasons:

  • The test object, to which the name mapping item corresponds, has just been created and the object tree has not been updated yet to reflect the changes.

  • The test object, to which the name mapping item corresponds, or one of its parent objects no longer exists.

  • TestComplete cannot find the test object using the specified mapping criteria.

If the test object has just been created, TestComplete suggests that you refresh the object tree and then searches for the object again. If this does not help, then you need to check whether the object exists and whether the mapping settings are specified correctly for the tested object and its parents.
