I'm a new administrator for TestExecute and TestComplete.
We have TestComplete installed and working, as well as the License Manager Utility.
Can TestExecute use the same License Manager Utility or does it require a separate LMU on a different server?
TIA!
Hi,
We call PowerShell from our scripts to compare files. We then get a return value from PS to determine if the files match. To accomplish this we use WshShell. Perhaps this could be adapted for your needs. Below is a VBScript code snippet.
Here is a link to the docs: WshShell Object | TestComplete Documentation
Here is the code we use:
Set oShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell")
'-- Compare the files using Powershell
s_PowershellInput = "powershell -command Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $(Get-Content '" & RFile & "') -DifferenceObject $(Get-Content '" & TFile & "') | where {$_.SideIndicator -eq '<=' -and !$_.InputObject.StartsWith('#')} | select -ExpandProperty inputObject"
Set oExec = oShell.Exec(s_PowershellInput)
oExec.StdIn.Close ' Close standard input before reading output
' Get PowerShell output with the comparison results
strOutput = oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
'-- If strOutput is "" then the files matched
If strOutput = "" Then
AtsCompareFilesPS = True
Else 'Return false and save the output to a text file in the same location as the test file
AtsCompareFilesPS = False
End If
Champion Level 3Python is a programming language, not an application to test!
Unless you are referring to https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/items/tested-apps/testedapps/index.html?
I just called my testedApp "python".
The python script it calls works fine from testComplete. The issue is just how to wait for the app to finish and how to get the exit code of "main.py".
Champion Level 3Once main.py has finished, the exit code is returned back to Python, and not back to TestComplete. Refer to the Python documentation on how to retrieve the exit code.
