Using TE to run tests from a project stored on a Linucx server



Hello,



Version :



TC/TE 9.20



Challenge:



TE will be installed on a VM machine which can be provisioned by an automated process.

I want to run tests on TE testing a client on this VM, from the command-line, at midnight every night



Because its dynamically provisioned I wont be able to copy the TestComplete project to the VM.



The TestComplete project is stored in SVN and may be refernced via the domain name of a Linux server eg.  jmli01



Question:



What is the best way to have TE execute the desired test suite?



1.) Run a seperate job which will copy the project from SVN to VM prior to run?



2.) Can I pass a parameter (\\servername\project) to TE via command-line that can run a TC project stored on a linux server ?



3.) If I do use TE to run a project stored on a server, do I need to change all references to TestApps in my TC project ?  (for example will C:\myapp.exe launch from the VM directory?)



4.) Would the results be posted to the servername location?



PLEASE NOTE : The server mentioned above will NOT have TE installed, it only stores the TC project.



Thanks
