[LDTP-Dev] setappmap is not working (NameError: name 'setappmap' is not defined()

[Premkumar Jothimani]

Hi Mauricio,

Assuming that you use the map file that you sent me, I think your
setcontext() call should look like
setcontext ('PDF Viewer', 'python.pdf')
The point to note here is that the first parameter should always be the
value of the "label" field for that window name in the map file.

Regards
Prem
