TestComplete is not the same type of environment as a regular IDE.  If you want to include external JavaScript code into TestComplete, you need to bring the units into TestComplete itself.  It doesn't consume nodejs like a web browser would normally.

 

So "child_process" and "stream" are JS modules that you would need to add to the TestComplete project via the Add -> Existing Item dialogs.

Thanks for the reply,

I think this is impossible because they are native on node.js and links in lots of other requirements

https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/child_process.js

https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/stream.js

 

I can run it via wsShell, but would like to use nodejs toget finegrained interrupts and pipes etc

 

function RunTest(commandStr) {
  var wsShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell"); 
  wsShell.CurrentDirectory = Project.Variables.TestWorkingDirectory; 
  try { 
    wsShell.Exec(commandStr); 
  } 
  catch (ex) { 
    Log.Error("Command '" + commandStr + "' failed with:" + ex.description); 
  } 
}
