How to kill an application from test complete.

Hi,

 

In my script  I am closing the tested application and relaunching it. 

Sometimes application fails to close and when relaunch code is executed I get error that one or more instance of application is running. 

So is there a way to kill application through test complete ?

    Hi,

     

    .Terminate() method (Sys.Process('YourProcess').Terminate() ).

      In addition to what AlexKaras has given you, I would suggest including in whatever code you're using to close your application under test to do some sort of checking.  Something like

       

      var myApp = Sys.WaitProcess('MyApp', 2000);
if (myApp.Exists){
    myApp.Terminate();
}

    hi,

    I have this little piece of script that waits for a process to be killed :

     

    procedure KillProcess(ProcessName: string);
    var
      p, IsClosed;
    begin
      p := Sys.FindChild('ProcessName', ProcessName);
      while p.Exists do
      begin
        p.Close;
        IsClosed:= p.WaitProperty('Exists', False);
        if not IsClosed then
          p.Terminate;
        p:= Sys.FindChild('ProcessName', ProcessName);      
      end;  
    end;
