Integration Issues

I am attempting to integrate TestComplete into AzureDevops. I have everything setup, but when I have the build run it always tells me, "TestExecute Lite cannot work under the NETWORK_SERVICE account....

    Yeah I have done some DevOps integration. I have used the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/azure/test-adapter/index.html but I found it to not have all the features from TestComplete that I was used to. Instead I have a shell step that runs testcomplete/testexecute from the command line, and exports the test results (along with a junit that can be archived by the pipeline).

     

    I generally use an agent script to start the Azure agent (from an admin prompt), and we use a self-hosted agent with TestComplete installed.

    Hi tphillips,

     

    I had just thought about using a powershell script to run testexecute on the machine, although I haven't figured out the exact way how too, in which way are you able to export it into the azure pipeline?

     

    Thankyou,

      Pass the /ExportSummary:file_Name option to TestExecute/TestComplete, then add a "Publish Test Results" step to your pipeline, selecting JUnit as the Test Result Format. We use the "Fail if there are test failures" option so the pipeline gets marked as a failure if any tests fail. For this reason it's probably best to have this step run as the last step.
