Description

In apache SDK, references to QTP were replaced with Tool. During that process, one genuine reference to QTP also got modified and hence the issue

Under tool.swc’s ToolAdapter class,

ExternalInterface.call("eval",
"if (!window.mx_testing_plugin" + playerID +
".RegisterPluginWithQTP(self, " + "'" + playerID + "'))

{" + "document.getElementById('" + playerID + "').SetLastError('TEAPluginIE.TEAFlexAgentIE is not scriptable'); }");

is modified to

ExternalInterface.call("eval",
"if (!window.mx_testing_plugin" + playerID +
".RegisterPluginWithTool(self, " + "'" + playerID + "')) {" + "document.getElementById('" + playerID + "').SetLastError('TEAPluginIE.TEAFlexAgentIE is not scriptable'); }

");

which should be reverted. Otherwise, the actual call to register our plugin with QTP was not happening and so QTP automation is not working with Apache Flex SDK.
