Executing a Project from Azure DevOps resets Project Variables

Hello SmartBear Community,   My current project is testing a shopping cart.   Therefore i created a new TestComplete Project Suite and added one Project. The flow is as following - one ore more ...
DevOps

    I just tried a similar workflow using persistent project level variables to assign an object property value in the first keyword test, and verified that value via a property checkpoint asserting against that persistent project level variable in a separate keyword test (all executed via Azure Devops) and my tests worked fine. 

     

    can you post how you are storing/creating these variables, what your script looks like, what the error messages are?

Hi Michael,

 

I did not use TestComplete with Azure DevOps yet, so I barely can be of much help here...

 

> since the Assemblies are not loaded as whole project but one KeyWord Test after another.

I am not sure I got what assemblies you are talking about. Could you clarify, please?

Also, could you describe how your tests are executed? All in one go from one test project as test items or tests are triggered by more than one command with only one test been executed?

If the latter, then my guess is that DevOps might re-deploy TestComplete project before each execution and this obviously discards changes made to the Project Variables (regardless of permanent or temporary type) because the changes are not preserved to the original location the project is deployed from.
