TestComplete Jenkins Plugin - GUI test, TestComplete did not launch it.

Hello Community,

 

I tired to integrate TestComplete project with Jenkins, but somehow TestComplete won't launch when Jenkins started to build.

I was thinking maybe because "Silent' mode was passed as argument? If so, how do I modify it so it won't be silent mode.

 

My setup:

1. Jenkins slave running as service mode.

2. TestComplete 11

3. Jenkins console log is hanging at this screen:

14:30:08 [TestComplete] Found TestComplete/TestExecute installations:
14:30:08 	Type: TC, Version: 11.31.2420.7, Path: "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestComplete 11\bin\TestComplete.exe"
14:30:08 [TestComplete] Selected TestComplete/TestExecute installation:

4. Jenkins configuration(See attachment)

 

 

Any help/suggestion would be helpful!

 

Thank you!

    Support resolved the issue.

     

    The Jenkins Service needs to run by Local account.

    If you go out to a prompt and run this command manually, does it work?

     

    C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestComplete 11\bin\TestComplete.exe" "c:\jenkins\workspace\SmokeTest\SmokeTest.pjs" /run /SilentMode /ForceConversion /ns /exit "/ExportLog:c:\jenkins\workspace\SmokeTest\1808641.tclogx" "/ExportLog:c:\jenkins\workspace\1808641.htmlx" "/ErrorLog:c:\jenkins\workspace\1808641.txt" "/ExportLog:c:\jenkins\workspace\SmokeTest\1808641.mht" "/project: SmokeTest_Basic"

      Hi Marsha,

       

      Thank you for your help.

       

      Yes, it worked if I typed the command manually. TestComplete launched, and then start doing UI tests.

      I guess /SilentMode wasn't the issue.

        Somehow when Jenkins passed that to slave, TestComplete won't launch, but I can see TestComplete process stated, but usage didn't move that much.
