Scheduled Automation

I am planning to schedule my Test Complete Automation:
1. Check if the instance of Test Complete exist.

2. Launch the instance of Test Complete. Perform my Automation checks.

3. Generate an email of the executed Log sent to <email>.

4. Close the Instance of Test Complete.

 

I have been successful in doing point 2 from my list.

Need help in point 1, 3 and 4.

 

I have the automation triggred through Bat file.

 

Regards,

Nawab

 

I have been able to get Independant bat file to run my automation form cmd and one to kill instance of Test Complete.

@echo off
TASKKILL /F /IM "TestComplete.exe"

The issue I am facing is integrating these two independant script.

 

Not sure whats the problem when I have the following sequence of execution steps:

1. Bat to kill Test Complete instance. (I do not have a check to peek in exisiting instance if any).

2. run my Automation.

3. kill the Test Complete instance.

 

Appreciate any help.

Nawab

    Hi,

     

    Just run the attached bat file with following arguments,

     

    1. Project suite path

    2. Project Name

    3. UnitName - Note: In order to execute a main method in the given unit it should be name as 'UniteNamDriver' and you can pass 'n' number of unit names for execution

     

    Hope this would help !

     

    Regards,

    ari

    I got the bit a dirty one, would appreciate  couple of refinement:

    Irrespective of an Instance TestComplete managing its instances (launch/kill).

     

    TASKKILL /IM "TestComplete.exe" /F
    "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestComplete 9\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "F:\TestComplete 9
    Projects\TestProjSample\TestProjSample.pjs" /r /e /p:TestProject1 /u:Library /rt:FOUR_MON
    tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq myapp.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "TestComplete.exe">NUL
