    Hello,

     

    I would like to let everyone know that the issue has been fixed some time ago and the fix is included to TestComplete version 11.31 that has been released on Tuesday.

     

    John, we were waiting for a case from you in order to provide the fix, but I was unable to find any requests from you. Did you contacted the Customer Care team regarding this issue?

Hi John_purontong,

 

I think that this line doesn’t return the PowerShell object. This is why it doesn’t have the Close method:

oExec = oShell.Exec("powershell -command Get-Process")

You can check this when debugging your code.

 

Also, please check that PowerShell is installed on your computer. Let me quote the article those link you published:

PowerShell is included in Windows starting with Windows 7. For Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, you can download PowerShell from here:

Thanks for the reply.

 

The oExec object is not null and Powershell comes pre-installed in my system and the code executed successfully with VBscript.

 

I tried to run the same python code version in Testcomplete version 11.20 and it executed successfully.

I am now using Testcomplete 11.30 and I noticed that some python code I have written in 11.20 are no longer

working.

 

Thanks and I am expecting  a quick response.

      I already rewrote my codes using native python modules because I have no time to wait for your fix.
