Is there a way to know if a file is still created/copied

Hi Ofer,



When a file is being created, it is locked. In this case, file opening functions fail with an error. So, to wait until a file lock is released, you can call a file opening function in a loop until it succeeds.



Using TestComplete's built-in aqFile object, it should be similar to this:

function Test()

{

  var ERR_UNABLE_TO_OPEN = -2147467259;

  var locked;



  // Start the asynchronous file copying

  Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("cmd /k copy E:\\VeryLargeFile.exe E:\\VeryLargeFile2.exe");



  do

  {

    locked = false;



    try {

      aqFile.OpenBinaryFile("E:\\VeryLargeFile2.exe", aqFile.faRead, false).Close();

    }

    catch (err)

    {

      if (err.number == ERR_UNABLE_TO_OPEN)

      {

        locked = true;

        aqUtils.Delay(1000);

      }

    }

  }

  while (locked);

}
