Is there a way we can take input from an UI test and store it in a variable and then the variable has to be passed to a visul studio application for running unit test. Is this possible in Testcomplete?
Champion Level 3If there's no methods, you could use the shell command
Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("cmd /c [set environment variable]")You could also write to a temporary file, and get your application to read that too. For example, https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/storages/ini.html
Champion Level 3Is this a similar question to your other post https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/Running-TCUnit-Tests/td-p/251675 ?
You can execute TC Unit Tests, but you can't pass a parameter to an individual method.
A possible solution is to create an environment variable, use TestComplete to set a value and then get your application to read this value.
Champion Level 3In TC, how are you settings the environment variable? And in VS, how are you reading the environment variable?
In TC, I have added a variable in project and then I am accessing the variable using script. Then setting it in environment variable.
In visual studio , I am getting the variable like
Champion Level 3Just looked into this and it seems like user and system environment variables can not be used in this manner.
So the other alternative is to use ini file as suggested before.
I have used CLRBridge https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/managing-projects/properties/clr-bridge.html to set a property of an object. Does that help?
