The latest version of TestComplete comes with Python 3.13. Python has made a number of changes. One of them is treating global as regular scoped objects, which has impacted Python scripts used in TestComplete.

See https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/specifics/python_tc_globalobjects.html for more information. You need to update your Python scripts to accommodate this change.

As an example, Log is being passed as a parameter -

MainTest.py

import MyFunctions

def main():
  MyFunctions.greet(Log, "Alice")

MyFunctions.py

def greet(Log, name):
  Log.Message(f"Hello, {name}!")

Same issue has been discussed here,

      Remove "tc" from "tc.Aliases.Client". Try this for example,

      Unit1.py

      import Unit2

def main():
    Unit2.datetime()

      Unit2.py

      from tc import aqDateTime
# or from tc import *

def datetime():
    return aqDateTime.Now()

      If you have a big project, it is a pain to update. However, there's no way around this, as Python have made these changes.

      I had a similar issue to yours, and our project is too big to pass these keywords to the function, but using "from tc import Log, Aliases" works for me. However, I came across another issue:

        I tried, but I don't know why the easiest solution as "from tc import *" or "from tc import Aliases", don't works:

        Thanks,
