    Ok. I did try running the following command in cmdline (TestComplete.exe "C:\..\..\TestComDemo.pjs" /run /SilentMode /ForceConversion /ns /exit) & it ran the tests without issue. I think the issue is in jenkins setup. Here are some screenshots of jenkins freestyle job.

    I tried updating login at active session step but it didnt resolve the issue. FYI, I am providing user login for node under which jenkins is running. Also I am downloading repo(SCM) in this jenkins job & that is working fine.

    This could also be related to the type of license you are using for TestComplete.

     

    If you use SmartBear License Management to control your TestComplete (and TestExecute) licenses, you can specify the access key assigned to your SmartBear account. This key will be used to license the TestComplete (TestExecute) instances that will run tests.

     

    If that is not setup correctly it can cause the same type of issue. We have information for this in the document below.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the updated console log. Looking at the commands I see you are using the session creator. Although since you are using JNLP, I'm not sure this would be required. 

 

Can you tell me how you are building the commands for the pipeline? For instance, are you using our Jenkins plugin to build out the commands required for execution? Would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot of the 'Build' section of your pipeline so we can see how it is setup?

 

Something I also do when troubleshooting issues such as this, is take the command line operation that is built and simply execute it manually from a CLI. In your case it would be the 'ExecuteProcess' with full paths. This would help you determine if the issue lies within the test, the command line operation or with Jenkins itself.

ExecuteProcess '/c:""C..\bin\TestComplete.exe"" "C..\testComplete\Converter\TestComDemo.pjs" /run /SilentMode /ForceConversion /ns /exit"
