Error: Incorrect Syntax Used For The Method

Problem:

This error could happen when we use wrong parameter types or parameter counts for a given method. Let’s take “Click” method as for example:

• Method Click(
  Integer X [Optional],
  Integer Y [Optional],
  Integer MsClickLength [Optional]
  )

It has 3 parameters and all of them are optional. Each parameter has a parameter type. To call this method we should provide all methods, which we want to use, here are good examples:

• Click 10, 20
• Click 10
• Click 10, 20, 500

If we have to use only the second parameter, we should provide all the previous ones even if they are optional: in our example, it is Integer X [Optional]. The default value we could take from the tooltip or method documentation page.

• Click 0, 10

There are bad examples:

• Click 10, 20, 500, 1 [Too many parameters]
• Click “10”, “20” [Click accepts only integers]
• Click , , 500 [Need to provide default values even for optional values]

How to Resolve this problem:

• Check the method parameters and correct them according to documentation
• Each method in a tool has a tooltip, which describes the parameters

What to do:

As additional, all available methods you can find in the following places:

• ZAPTEST How-To Pages
• PDF Documentation which is distributed with a tool: please, use “1SCRIPT” main menu: “HELP” -> “PDF Documentation“
• ZAPTEST Tooltips and auto-completion when you write a “.” symbol
