Executing Test Group using command prompt

Hi folks,   I am facing an issue while executing a Test Group using command prompt.   I have a project which has three Test Groups having sub-folders with TestSteps in it. View image: TestGroups....

    Hi,

     

    > Here in this article Run the specified group of test items via TestComplete's command line TestComplete mentions of "/testitemgroup"

     

    The referenced article mentions /testitemgroup as the parameter for the RunTestItemGroup.js (or RunTestItemGroup.vbs) script, but not TestComplete's command line like in your first approach.

    The only possible way now to execute test item from the command line is either to use the script referenced by you and me or to create an application that will drive TestComplete using COM.

Adding to it: The JS file gives error message on this line of code:

 

var tc = new ActiveXObject("TestComplete.TestCompleteApplication.10");

Offhand, I'd say that you need more privileges.  Try running as Administrator.

        Hi,

         

        > what is worng with the first approach?

        The problem with the first approach is that the /testitemgroup option is not supported by TestComplete command line (http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55587/)

         

        > I know that I need to run the JS file as Administrator ... How?

        Either right-click the shortcut for the command prompt and select 'Run as administrator' or use the 'runas' command within command prompt window.

         

        P.S. There is another jscript file that makes it possible to execute specific test item: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/54655/. I did not compare it withthe one referenced by you.
