TestComplete Jenkins Plugin - GUI test, TestComplete did not launch it.

Hello Community,   I tired to integrate TestComplete project with Jenkins, but somehow TestComplete won't launch when Jenkins started to build. I was thinking maybe because "Silent' mode was passe...

    Support resolved the issue.

     

    The Jenkins Service needs to run by Local account.

Few you can try to identify the issue,

 

  • Have you verified this Build is triggering in the slave machine which you configured and manually tried? If not use below option to do it.
  • Try triggering the build when you have your slave opened by yourself
  • Try triggering the build after the disconnecting the slave
  • Try with Entire suite option

I guess you will find some issues with above tries.

Thank you for the suggestions.

 

Unfortunately, TC still wouldn't launch.

 

  • Have you verified this Build is triggering in the slave machine which you configured and manually tried? If not use below option to do it.    -----  Yes, and then I see the correct slave is running when I click Build. 
  • Try triggering the build when you have your slave opened by yourself

           ------  I monitor the slave from vSphere console, and then once I click 'Build', I see TestComplete.exe showed up in Processes, and then it's by jenkins user. However, TestComplete UI does not show up.

 

  • Try triggering the build after the disconnecting the slave

          ------- Nothing happen, no remote section from TC.

 

  • Try with Entire suite option

         -------- Same behavior, I see TestComplete.exe showed up in Processes, and then it's by jenkins user. However, TestComplete UI does not show up.

 

I would think if TestComplete.exe is in Window Task Manager, then UI should launch, but it just hung there.
