SAP automation testing prompts ‘catastrophic failure’

[former_member1000501]

When I was using Python and SAP GUI Scripting API for automation testing, I obtained the GuiTableControl control and tried to continue with operations, but found that calling any method of the control would result in a “catastrophic failure” error. Later, I tried testing with C#, but the problem persisted. Can you advise me on how to handle this? The SAP version I am using is 760.

Since you're asking a question here for the first time, I'd like to offer some friendly advice on how to get the most out of your community membership and experience.

First, please see https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers, as this resource page provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members.

Now for some specific suggestions on how you might improve your question:

* Outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful) -- so members don't make suggestions that you've already tried.

* Share screenshots of what you've seen/done (if possible), as images always helps our members better understand your problem.

* Make sure you've applied the appropriate tags -- because if you don't apply the correct tags, the right experts won't see your question to answer it.
