Hi,

 

I founded some kind of solution.

Jenkins run TestComplete as 64 bit from source:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\x64\bin\TestComplete.exe

 

You need to change source in Jenkins to run TestComplete.exe on: 

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\bin\TestComplete.exe

 

or simpler solution:


You can cheat and create shortcut "TestComplete.exe" in source C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\x64\bin\ from source C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\bin\ and then Jenkins will be running TestComplete as 32 bit.
It's work for me

    I had the same problem. The 32 bit version of TestExecute was used and it worked without problems, but then something (electricity went down and I suspect this is the cause, but I don't understand why and how) caused a change in Jenkins and the 64 bit version was used by Jenkins. Change it to 32 bit using a shortcut, then it worked again like before.

    How can I change the source in Jenkins to run TestComplete.exe on "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\bin\TestComplete.exe" and not on "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\x64\bin\TestComplete.exe" ?

     

    I don't want to do it with a shortcut. Where in Jenkins, or how can I change the version used in Jenkins, to the 32 bit TestComplete/TestExecute ?
