Creating a folder from within a reusable action. - sd3 - 06-04-2013

Hi.

I have the following problem: I have an action that creates a folder in windows, using this line:

Code:
Window("vol0cifs").WinObject("ShellView").WinMenu("ContextMenu").Select "New;Folder"

It works fine when i run this action.
But when i'm calling to this action from the main body of the test, i'm getting the following error:

Object not visible
Line (26):

Code:
"Window("vol0cifs").WinObject("ShellView").WinMenu("ContextMenu").Select "New;Folder"".

Anyone has any idea how to solve this?

try this:

Code:
CreateFolderDemo()

Function CreateFolderDemo

   Dim fso, f

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set f = fso.CreateFolder("c:\New Folder")  ' here put the path and name

   CreateFolderDemo = f.Path

End Function

What I understand is you are trying to create a folder from a application context menu.
And it runs fine when you execute the Action alone, but when you integrate it it fails and says object not found.

If I am true, then try to insert Synchorization time and then activate the app again, because when the app is moving from one action to other it looses the focus and needs few miliseconds to perform the next

Let me know if it works
