How should I call a TestComplete script at runtime ?

Thanks for the reply.



I tried with  eval( Sc_name.sc_name()) command. Now I'm getting the " Object required : 'Sc_Name' " error.

I don't know how you have your script units set up. If you have them in external projects you need to make your driver script aware of them using USEUNIT statement at the start of the driver script.



All EVAL does is execute the command in parenthesis.



So if you can manually get a function call working in script, just put that code in a string and then put the string in the EVAL parenthesis.



That's what my driver script does and it works fine.



So if the function call was:



total = AddTogether(numberOne, numberTwo)



This would simply be:



functionString = "AddTogether(numberOne, numberTwo)"

total = EVAL(functionString)



You only make calls to functions. Not to script units. (Although you can include a reference to the script unit in the call if desired)



If you're not understanding this, you need to have a read on how TestComplete uses script units and the functions within them:

Thanks for the details...



I have used the USEUNIT commands.

'USEUNIT TC6_CAMP_WebServices

'USEUNIT TC8_CAMP_TerminalValidations



 

If I use directly TC8_CAMP_TerminalValidations.method1() it is working fine.

But issue is I have stored the unit script names in a separate excel sheet.

Then I'm reading that excel sheet to get the script name and assign to a SC_name variable.

Sc_Name = Project.Variables.DriverScript.Value("Sc_Name")

Then if I try to use SC_name.method1() I'm getting a vb error.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the details Colin,



This is the problem.  'TC8_CAMP_TerminalValidations'  is a TC script object.  So if I simply assign the Project.Variables.DriverScript.Value("Sc_Name") value to a variable it is treat as a string variable and giving an error 'Object Required'.



So I guess we need to create a TC script object and set the value to that. But I don't know how create a script object run time and assign it.



 

Thanks Colin, it worked.

No problem.



Glad you got it running. :)
