"General Run Error" is non-descript error that QTP throws when it is unsure of what is wrong. No error directly related to TestAdvantage code will to my knowledge throw such an error. That is not to say it might not be related to TestAdvantage, or it's setup but it does gives us a general scope of where to look. Let me ask some additional questions to help eliminate other possibilities. From what you are describing it sounds as if it records correctly so unless you manually manipulated yourC:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\dat\SwfConfig.xml file, your SwfConfig.xml file is likely configured correctly. If there was a possibility of that I would suggest running our Version Utility supplied with TestAdvantage, disabling TestAdvantage and re-enabling it. 

   I am guessing by your response that my next question would be unnecessary that being, can you record and replay correctly on the samples supplied? By your response I am assuming the answer is yes, that leaves it to something specific in your application an QTP. 

  The next likely cause is deployment based, that being sometimes an App tested remotely on a network or something similar can cause QTP to get confused in finding all the NetAdvantage assemblies required for our proxies to work correctly. What I would suggest is creating a local directory, adding all of the NetAdvantage assemblies to that directory, and then from their copy them into your global assembly cache(GAC)  (typically located at C:\Windows\assembly ) Alternatively if you drop the assemblies in the bin folder of your QuickTestProfessional install directory, that can also resolve this behavior. This may be a distinct possibility with what you described because if your simple sample was on your test machine, not remotely, and had the dll's copy local, it likely found and loaded the dll's correctly, for that app which allowed your larger app to continue. 

 NOTE: if you change your SwfConfig.xml file, or drop assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache(GAC), or the QuickTestProfessional bin you should close both QuickTestProffesional and your application under testing.

 Let me know how those work for you.  

Hi Michael

This is Adi

I am facing the same problem as posted against your reply,I am unable to replay the samples provided by test advantage.As suggested by you i had placed all the dll's included in bin folder of net advantage in qtp bin install dir.Configurations done by me on QTP enables me to record test advantage methods such as setfocus,expandgroup etc but when i tried to replay the recoding QTP doesnot find these methods and gives general run error which u know doesnot details anything.When i tried to use object spy utility i saw that activate row method is available under test object methods.How can i access these methods can u please send me any helping script example.I am using the trial versions of test & net advantage. Once i am satisfied that we can automate our application using these tools and there is no hurdle in generating scripts then we can go through the licensing activities.So need your prompt reply hope u understand.

Thanks alot........... 

Hi Adi,

Please confirm that "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\bin\QtPro.exe.Config" file contain the following:

<configuration>
 <startup>
  <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
  </startup>
</configuration>

If It does and you still get the error during replay. Back up this file and remove it from the Bin folder of QTP. then try again. Also try opening the script provided by TestAdvantage install. located in "C:\Program Files\Infragistics\TestAdvantage for Windows Forms (HP) 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0\Samples\Scripts"

Hope that will help

Hi Mr Ammar

I had done the activities u suggested moreover i am looking the test advantage samples for the last three days.But the same problem "General Run Error"exist on line "SwfWindow("WinEditors Within WinGrid").SwfTable("ultraGrid1").ActivateRow "0"" and following statements respectively.Things i had done are listed below.

Placed all the dll's from net advantage bin dir to QTP bin dir.

Used version utility of test advantage to update swfconfig file in dat folder of QTP.Changed the paths respectively of the dll's as per my installed dir

Changed the configuration in QTP.exe.config file as suggested.

My test advantage & net advantage are of same version i.e 2008 Vol 1 CLR2.0

Created a string varriable in regedit as given in help file.

But still during repaly "General Run error " occurs.One more thing Mr Ammar when i open the Object Repository i can see the Activate Row methodunder Test Object methods.Any idea if some DP concepts should be implemented can u plz give me any samples..

Adi,

I think this issue needs to be submitted to our Developer support. They will be able to help you debug this issue and find a resolution.
