power shell scripts not running as expected using testcomplete script
Hello All,
My requirement:
1. get version number of installed app under test before the test starts.
am using a powershell script for this.
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion |
Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Like 'myapp*'}
2. There will be different versions to be installed so I would like to create a txt file from above script
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion |
Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Like 'myapp*'} > path\to\txt\myApp.txt
I have power shell script to update a text file which is supposed run from testcomplete. Manually ps1 script works but not from script;
my script looks like;
Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("PowerShell -File " + ".\myScript.ps1");
myScript.ps1 script is as follows;
$MyReport= "version_info.txt"
$scriptPath = split-path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$Folder= Join-Path $scriptPath $MyReport
# get items from system that has name myapp
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion |
Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Like 'myapp*'} > $Folder
the powershell is working and successfully executed (it seems - no errors) but my text file created but not updated. It is updated if run powershell script manually! why testcomplete cannot???
Any thoughts?

Hi Nis,
That's the issue, I have not getting any error message and power shell window just open and closed. Seems working but not getting expected results.
I have somehow resolved the issue by adding CLR Bridge > browse GAC > added system.management.Automation and below script, now seems working!!
var powerShellScript = "AppVersion.ps1"; // script is in the original message
function getVersionOfInstalledAppUnderTest()
{
var currentDirectory = aqFileSystem.GetCurrentFolder();
psScriptPath = currentDirectory + "\\" + powerShellScript;
var PowerShell = dotNET.System_Management_Automation.PowerShell.Create();
PowerShell.AddScript(currentDirectory + "\\" + powerShellScript);
// invoke powershell to get the results
var results = PowerShell.Invoke();
}
