TestExecute acts differently to TestComplete

I am seeing a issue where i have created a test that opens a file from IE-11, so i have managed to map the new popup window in IE11 and running the test on my development enviroment runs with no issu...

    Can you confirm you have web testing extensions installed in Test Execute also? 

     

    Does your version of Test Execute match the version of Test Complete you are using?

     

    Is sounds like you have your project under source control, do you have latest version of your project files in the directory that Test Execute is pointing to?

     

    Do you have Test Complete installed on the same slave machine as Test Execute? If not are you able to do that? If you can, run the test in Test Complete and then Test Execute on the slave machine. If you see it pass in Test Complete and fail in Test Execute then there is something wrong with your Test Excecute instance and or configuration.

      How can i confirm about the web testing extenions in TestExecute?

       

      Yes they are both the same version, they are both 10.5 (We recently upgraded to this so we can test in IE11)

       

      Yes the test are in Subversion and after i ran them locally, i comitted the changes to the repo where Jenkins will pick them up and execute the test. (So i can confirm its running the same code)

       

      I do not have TC installed on a TE slave, but as a last measure i could possible try this as we do run with Floating Licenses..

        To verify if web testing extension installed:

         

        1. Right click on the Test Execute icon in the taskbar.

        2. Select option to 'Install Extensions'.

         

        Check for install of any other extenions you think you might need while you are in there.

         

        If you have a floating license free then install Test Complete on that same machine and run the test. It takes a few minutes to install but if it runs in TC then you can reasonably assume an issue with your Test Execute setup. Also, if it fails in Test Complete on that machine you can debug it. 

         

        You also mentioned Jenkins. Are you logged into the machine when the test is running? I assume you are not and the slave is running 'headless'. If you are not logged in be careful which method you use to launch GUI tests on the slave. I'd recommend running the Jenkins JNLP (web start) agent for running GUI tests.To quote the Jenkins manual 'If you need display interaction (e.g. for GUI tests) on Windows and you have a dedicated (virtual) test machine, this is a suitable option. Create a jenkins user account, enable auto-login, and put a shortcut to the JNLP file in the Startup items (after having trusted the slave agent's certificate). This allows one to run tests as a restricted user as well.'
