    I feel a bit stupid now, I didn't have the "Launch" method in the script, I had Run but not launch before it,

     

    I found this out by trying to run my test end-to-end on the off-chance this would get past the issues I was hitting during the function by function testing... I had an error in my log about "set to false" a quick search on here and I found I needed Launch. I think it is working now!

Appreciate the response, thank you.

 

The app is our flagship ERP client, I know that after closing the main form (all others already closed at this point) it takes a few seconds to completely die in the background, but closing the form is sufficient to end all threads. The application supports multiple sessions so shouldn't be an issue with spinning up a new instance. I will play around with different close methods, that's not a bad shout, you never know!

 

Will also liaise with our product devs, I'm new to TestComplete and from a different team outside of product dev, so could well be specific to our app.

 

for reference I am doing:

 

Aliases.myApp.ShellMenuForm.Close();
aqUtils["Delay"](8000);
ERPLogin();

 

where ERPLogin() does:

-Set Simple Params

-SimpleParams.Activate

-myApp.Run(1, true, 300)

    Never feel stupid to find your own errors and improve yourself and furthermore with no hiding to others your own errors  ;^)

    Don't worry, we've all done something like that.  Or worse.  😁
