    Try to searh for "PrjVar" in your Azure log, this might reveal the command line used to execute your tests.

     

    If you can't find anything, then great!

rraghvani , could you please confirm that the type of the variable Project.Variables.Var2 is Password and that's what is preventing its value from being printed to log?

 

I can then think of how to make use of the Password variable. I have verified that passing clear text  (i.e. decrypted) password as command line project variable value does not work with /PrjVar switch. 

 

It will be little bit tricky as we do not want to store the password values in the TestComplete project files. Our password value is coming from Azure Key Vault.
