Process.Exists logs unwanted error

As a part of my keyword tests, I'm checking the existance of a certain process ('process'.Exists), before I do some steps. My problem is, that I get an error in the log, if the process doesn't exist, which polutes my log, as it isn't an error to me. I just want a False result without an error.

Is there any way I can circumvene TC logging this as an error?

    This solution should work for you.



    function Test1()

    {

      if(Sys.WaitProcess("calcplus", 0).Exists)

      {

        Log.Message("Process exists, terminating...");

        Sys.Process("calcplus").Terminate();

      }

      TestedApps.CalcPlus.Run();

     

    }

    I forgot to mention, that the logged error is "Process not found", which shouldn't really be nessesary when you're trying to determine if the process exists.

    Simply use



    Sys.WaitProcess(...).Exists



    instead of



    Sys.Process(...).Exists



    The same suggestion for waiting windows (WaitWindow/WaitWinFormsObject/etc.).



    Usage examples can be easily found in the Help.

    Ah, I should have been more clear about what I want to do.



    Ideally, the process shouldn't exist, but if it exists, I need to terminate it, before going on with the test. So I can't  really use WaitProcess as that would also ultimately result in an error, if the process doesn't exits.
