Champion Level 3Hi MW_Didata as mentioned in Running Tests on Locked Computers,
Tests that do not interact with GUI can be run on locked computers. GUI tests or tests that simulate user actions cannot be run on locked computers, since when the computer is working in this mode, the user session is frozen (no windows can be shown) and the testing engine cannot simulate user actions
Hello rraghvani What do you mean?
The testrun does use the GUI, Taskscheduler starts a C# program (Or batch) and that starts the testrun with SessionCreator.exe.
Sessioncreator should create a session on the locked pc where TestExecute can preform the tests.
This worked for atleast the past 2 years, but suddenly I get back Exitcode 7 while I changed nothing.
Champion Level 3I have a VM which has TestExecute installed, and a PowerShell script, which has the following command, called by Task Scheduler at a given time.
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\x64\Bin\SessionCreator.exe' RunTest /UserName:TestUser1 /password:'testuser1' /UseActiveSession /ScreenResolution:"1920*1080" /ProjectPath:"C:\Sandbox\TestComplete\ALS\ALS.pjs" /ExportLog:"C:\Sandbox\Log\TC_Automation_$tc_timestamp\index.html" /ExportSummary:"$summary_report" | Out-NullThe VM has been set up to automatically login user 'TestUser1', and the VM is always unlocked (this is my active session). When I invoke the script to launch SessionCreator, it will spool up another session to run the automation scripts.
SessionCreator
The utility opens interactive user sessions required for the TestComplete interaction with your tested application GUI. If an interactive user session is not opened, the test engine will not be able to access the GUI, and your tests will fail.
I run the tests on a physical PC. It has Testexecute and Testcomplete Installed.
I use pretty much the same command, but instead of the entire ProjectSuite it runs each project one after the other with the /Project flag.
but it no longer works. Like I stated above I even went back to a very basic batch script that should just start the testrun.
That also did not work.
I run other projects on another PC, that one still works. SessionCreator creates the session and testing begins, its only 1 machine that no longer works.
Champion Level 3Use Task Manager, and check the number of Users on both machines? Do both machines have the same OS versions? Check your security options for your Task Schedular, on both machines too.
