Can a script in a TestComplete Project run a different TestComplete project?

Hello, and thanks to any who can help me.



Is it possible to run a TestComplete Project from a script in another TestComplete project?





Or, possibly in an alternate scenario;



I have a series of projects that export their logs to an archive directory, but;

And:

If I have a set of routines in the 'Test Items' of a project, when the project is run, I get a nicely formatted/nested log with the summary and charts on the first page.

But if I run the same routines from a script that calls them each in order, I don't get the same nesting nor do I get the summary and charts on a 'first page'.



How can I get or produce that summary and charts to place on my own page, possibly with my own variation of formatting?



Again, thanks for any help.

    Hi,



    There's no way to call projects from each other. If you need to get a single log for all your projects, set up test items in them and run the entire project suite where they're located.



     If this is not an option, you can create a summary yourself with a custom script. To do this, you need to export logs to XML and parse them to get information on the test flow.

    Thank you for the response and the information.



    I will go through the articles you indicated and see about making my projects work.
