The tests i want to launch are every time different i can't create a "static KeywordTest" and than call it from an external script . Is there a way to launchmultiple tests from cmd ?

Not within the same session without writing some sort of code to make the distinction.  

 

Here's another potential solution:

 

1) Create a CSV file that lists out the test names that you want to execute

2) Create code in a script that uses the DDT.CSVDriver to read that CSV file and drive a loop through it

3) Each time through the loop, call the keyword indicated by the particular row in the CSV file.

4) Set your command line to execute that script code

 

Then, all you need to do to change the list of tests to execute is update the CSV file with the desired list.

    I think a solution like this, i write in a XML the test and the within a for loop i run all the tests .

    Now i have a new problem :

    This is my code :

    def RunFailedTests():
    Log.message("CreateLogFolderOnServer")
    CreateLogFolderOnServer.CreateLogFolderOnServer()
    Log.message("CleanLocalTestData")
    ClearLocalTestData.CleanLocalTestData()
    XmlFile = BuiltIn.ParamStr(6)
    Log.Message("Tests failed : " + XmlFile)
    if os.path.exists(XmlFile):
    Log.message("Xml file exists")
    else:
    Log.message("Xml file doesn't exists")
    return
    Test_List = ParseXMLFile(XmlFile)
    #CicloCheFaEseguireTuttiITestFalliti
    for test in Test_List:
    try:
        keywordTest.test.run()
    except:
        log.message(Test error)
    ExportLog.ExportLog()


    def ParseXMLFile(XmlFile):
    Test_List = []
    root = ET.parse(XmlFile).getroot()
    for test in root.findall('Tests/Test'):
    #obtain ProjectTestItem
    TestName = test.get('ProjectTestItem')
    #add the test to the list

    Test_List.append(TestName)
    return Test_List

     

    To run a keywordTest I should use this call : KeywordTest.TestName.Run() , the testname is contained in a variable how can i "take"the testname contained in the variable?

      You're writing in Python...so I'm not sure a lot about it.

      In JavaScript, JScript, or other C-based scripting languages in TestComplete, you can do the following

       

      KeywordTests['Test1'].Run()

       

      So, you could replace the KeywordTest name with the identifier you pull out of your XML.  I don't believe that is available in Python.

       

      So, instead, you might need to do something like this

       

      testToRun = eval('KeywordTest.' + testName)

      testToRun.Run()

        I solved this problem in this way .

        for test in Test_List:
                try:
                     strFunctionCall = aqString.Format("KeywordTests.%s.Run()",test)
                     eval(strFunctionCall)
                     Log.Message("Test : " + test + "has positive result")
                except:
                    Log.Message("Test : " + test + "has negative result")

        if a test failed the script doesn't go to the next iteration .. at the moment i haven't a solution,  do you have any ideas?
