Hi @Community,

Is there anyone who worked on a similar scenario and can share your knowledge?

Hi Josh,

What is the exact command line that you are using to start TestExecute? There may be an issue there.

Also, what happens if you tell Jenkins to start up the TestComplete IDE, with no parameters? Does it open up in the current user session for you? If that works, then Jenkins is probably configured correctly, and the command line is incorrect, or maybe there's an issue with the project.

Feel free to reach out to your account manager to setup a call with us if this doesn't help.

Thanks,

Rick

  I am a little confused about the command line options. We dont use command line to execute the test... we just use the TC/TE pluggin. This job is currently using an open session with the java web start client (not as a service). When I installed the java slave as a service, the only difference in the test setup is that I check the "Run interactive Session" box and provide it domain credentials. The project suite specified exists from a git checkout occuring earlier in the jenkins job. Test Execute is version 11.11.
  
  Am I missing something?
