Isn't java webstart for JNLP deprecated ?
I was getting the same logs even when the test was working fine before. Please find the logs when test execution worked fine before jenkins upgrade.

Also the tests works fine when I use SessionCreator from jenkins for executing tests. its just that it doesnot work with the Testcomplete plugin now. When it was working fine before , the agent was connected using JNLP. This log statement [WARNING] The node is connected via Java Web Start (JNLP). In this mode, the "Run interactive user session" property of the TestComplete Test step is ignored. was present even when the tests worked fine .
Champion Level 3Thanks for the clarification — that helps a lot.
You're absolutely right that the issue doesn't seem to be with JNLP alone, especially since:
At this point, this strongly suggests a compatibility issue between the TestComplete plugin and the upgraded Jenkins core. The community has limited ability to debug internal plugin behaviors, so I'd recommend reaching out to SmartBear Support with:
That way, they can confirm if there's a known issue or provide a patch/workaround.
