How to Ignore "The git.exe process crashed."?

Update: I went into File --> Install Extensions... and removed the Git Plugin extension (and all the other source control extensions as well, for good measure).

I was then able to get through an entire test run without seeing the "git.exe process crashed" error. Fingers crossed this is a permanent solution (since I manage the Git repo externally to TestComplete anyway).

I suggest the following options:

If you had the plugin previously installed https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/scc/git/requirements.html  try to uninstall, reset TestComplete settings to default by un-installing, reboot, and re-installing. 

You probably could work around the error by using Log.Enabled = false/true around the crash-prone segment https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/test-log/log/enabled.html

Attempt to filter out such process https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/managing-projects/properties/open-apps/process-filter.html

Hi KRogersX​ ,

I have a suggestion that will suppress the error from getting to the test results but does not resolve the actual issue.

TestComplete includes a module that monitors Windows for crashes involving standard (default) Windows applications. This is why you’ve been receiving the "Git.exe process crashed" message.

This module, tcJITHook.exe, is specifically designed to generate log entries when default Windows applications crash.

To prevent this behavior, you can rename tcJITHook.exe to tcJITHook1.exe (simply adding a "1" before the .exe extension) in both of the following locations:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\Bin\Extensions\tcJITHook.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\x64\Bin\Extensions\tcJITHook.exe


If you are also using TestExecute, you’ll need to make the same change in these locations:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\Bin\Extensions\tcJITHook.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\x64\Bin\Extensions\tcJITHook.exe

Send us a few screenshots and logs entries.  You should likely look into why you are getting that error instead of trying to ignore it however.  😉

I don't know of anyway to prevent TestComplete from logging the error.  You may be able to change the behavior with event handlers and settings in TestComplete to control what happens when an error is logged.  

There is usually a trail in the Windows event log when a process crashes.  It may give you an idea. In the Windows Event Viewer: Look under Windows Logs > Application for .NET Runtime, Application Error, or git.exe specific entries. If you find the associated eventid that would be helpful. git --version could be helpful as well. 

TestComplete uses the Git command-line utility (git.exe)." you could try re-installing git per the integration instructions linked below.  Integration or the git version installed (both?) is likely where the issue is.

Git integration

Would need more info:

• is this about an  unexpected popup window with an error message?
• is this about an error message about an unfiltered process which is logged somewhere?
• not sure why you would need Git on the machine which runs tests (in a Prod environment)

There's not really any good reason to use the TestComplete Git  plugin, so I'll disable it and see if that stops the error.

👍👍If you aren't using it that would be the easiest thing to try .  Let us know if that does it!  

Do you have git.exe in your Tested Apps by any chance?

Are you using e.g. Objects.Save method or anything relating to saving objects/pictures/base- files, which is then used to perform comparison?

What version of TestComplete are you using?

The only reference you have to git.exe, is in Source Control?
