[Integrate with Jenkins] Test runner exit code: -8

Dear Community!

 

I have an issue with running tests integrated in jenkins.

The jobs run nightly, and i suppose it runs untill the defined timeout, and then exits, and marks the job failed.

I have several tests defined, and sometimes there is an issue marked by the exit code: -8.

The related console message:

$ '"C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\bin\TestCompleteService14.exe"' //LogonAndExecute //lDomain: "" //lName: "jenkins" //lPassword: ** //lTimeout: "5580000" //lUseActiveSession: "true" //lCommandLine: '""C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\x64\bin\TestExecute.exe" C:\test.pjs /run /SilentMode /ForceConversion /ns /exit /ExportLog:C:\Jenkins\workspace\myJob\1654292692814.tclogx /ExportLog:C:\Jenkins\workspace\myJob\1654292692814.htmlx /ErrorLog:C:\Jenkins\workspace\myJob\1654292692814.txt /Timeout:5400 /project:Test /unit:TestScript /routine:testing /DoNotShowLog /JenkinsTCPluginVersion:2.8.1"' //lSessionScreenWidth: "1920" //lSessionScreenHeight: "1080"

[TestComplete] [WARNING] Errors occurred during the test execution.
[TestComplete] Marking the build as FAILED.
[TestComplete] [WARNING] Unable to publish test results (xml data is empty).

 Sometimes one job/test is done correctly, sometimes the introduced issue heappens -- i mean there couldn't be problem with job/test configuration.

I found some (maybe archive) posts reated to previous testexecute versions, unfortunately unsolved. Now i use Version: 14.81.217.11 , still having the issue.

Does anyone have idea what to check, what might cause this issue?

    We have been experiencing the same thing since February. 

    Our test runs pass all tests in the TestComplete suite but fail with an exit code -8 in Jenkins and sometimes with an exit code -1.  I was told that the latter code generally refers to a license issue but also that a bad license would have prevented the execution from the start.

    File a ticket with SmartBear Support.  I wish I had a resolution for you, but it hasn't happened yet.

      Dear qa_qed!

       

      Thanks for your reply, please let me know when you have any updates on your issue.

      Unfortunately, my issue has been present for more than a year ago. Previously i asked for some help at support, but they couldn't give me a proper solution, only asking me for more information - and now we have no support subscription.

      However, I don't know, did I introduce the issue correctly. I meant sometimes happens, a job fails with this -8 exit code stuff, but on another day, the same test passes, with exactly the same settings.

      When the job fails, I have no testcomplete report at all. Only Jenkins says in TestComplete report: "Failed to start"
