Open file Security - Warning Popup

[Muralidhar]

Hi, 

How can we handle these "Open file Security - Warning" popups in Testcomplete14.

How can I click on the Run button?

While accessing the desktop application I am getting this popup.

I can able to map those buttons 'Run' and 'Cancel' but during the Test Execution the script is failing.

Does this pop-up occur if you do these steps manually?  Is it something that you expect to happen? 

It's hard to tell from the screenshot but it looks like the Run button may be disabled.

[Muralidhar]

Yes, If I open the application manually I will get that popup

Actually we are using that application in the Client RDP machine and that is how the application has to be.

And Run is not disabled.

A quick fix ..

Send key alt R  or send key TAB + Enter will do the job

Alt + R = shortcut for Run normally

or

Tab put focus on Run button (because by default it's focused on Cancel button) and then Enter to validate Run button.

Hi,

> during the Test Execution the script is failing.

Any more details as for what and how exactly is failing?

[Muralidhar]

@BenoitB Not working

Let me explain my code structure

Step 1 Testedapp.AppName.Run script to Launch the application

Step 2 Delay

Step 3 Script for clicking the "Run" button

Testcomplete Execution is Hanging-up at  "Testedapp.AppName.Run" step, not even Delay command in Step 2 is executing.

Hi,

Try to use the Runner.CallObjectMethodAsync() method to launch your tested application (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/calling-methods-asynchrounously.html).

I.e. something like:

var oTestApp = TestedApps.Items("AppName");

Runner.CallObjectMethodAsync(oTestApp, "Run");

// here wait for either the app starts or Run dialog appears and process it

I believe this is something also controlled by UAC.  For your test automation machine, you could turn down or off UAC so that such prompts won't come up.

@AlexKaras 

As mentioned Test Execution is Hanged up until I click the "Cancel" button which is on the "Open File - Security Warning" popup. 

Even If I click the Testcomplete Stop button, the execution wasn't stop until unless I click the Cancel button on the Popup.

On clicking the Cancel button the Test Execution will stop and In the Logs I am getting a message stating "Unable to run the Application" and "test execution was interrupted"

Thank you everyone for participating in this thread.

@Muralidhar Will tristaanogre's advice to turn off UAC work for you?
