Set TestComplete options programatically / Java Bridge / PDF files

Hi,

 

I am working with PDF files using the methods described here. Due to Java updates I had to set "Tools\Options\Engines\Java Bridge\Java Virtual Machine module location" according to this thread.

 

I manage a large international project. I program the scripts in TestComplete and have an overseas team execute them in TestExecute. I don't want them editing the TestComplete environment or code, which could break their environment (or mine via SVN update).

 

I want to set the jvm.dll file programmatically so that they never have to touch TestComplete. Is this possible?

 

Alternatively, will TestComplete support the reading of pdf files natively so that we don't have to use the java bridge and pdfbox-app. I am sure that many desktop applications, serious enough to require automated testing, produce pdf reports that have to be verified.

 

Thanks if you can offer any solution to this.

    Only a subset of TC options is available programmatically... I don't think the JavaBridge is one of them.

     

    While you can export this setting from TestComplete (Tools -> Settings -> Export), there's no way of importing them into TestExecute.

     

    The JavaBridge setting you're looking at isn't something that will affect anything via SVN so you don't need to worry about that.  As for messing with the environment, this is something that needs to be set in TestExecute directly anyways (run TestExecute, right click on systray icon, select options, go to JavaBridge).  I'm really not sure there's a programmatic way of doing this.

     

    Sorry, man. :(

      Let me clarify...  using native objects and such within TestComplete, you cannot programmatically set the JavaBridge options either for the project or for the larger environment.
