Passing testcomplete project suite variables from Ready API

[sridhar249]

On the ready api, we can do Add step, Testcomplete as shown in the picture below.

The test complete step added above looks like this

In here, there is "Other args:" I was thinking these psv variables passed will be comsumed by the Testcomplete. But looks like it is not working as i expected.

Expected: On the testcomplete, ProjectSuite.Variables.testCaseNumber should be set to 1 and ProjectSuite.Variables.orderId should be set to 902783221

Actual: The testcomplete is setting, ProjectSuite.Variables.testCaseNumber = 1 /psv:orderId=902783221

bascially, it is treating everything after "/psv:testCaseNumber=" as it's value, which is n't correct.

Are you using the correct parameters?

/PSVar:VarName=VarValue (or /psv) for Project Suite variables

/PrjVar:VarName=VarValue (or /pv) for Project variables

Notes:

• The name of a passed variable should include only alphanumeric characters ('A'..'Z', 'a'..'z' and '0'..'9') and underscores ('_') and does not start with a digit.
• TestComplete treats variable values passed via the command line as strings. If the value includes spaces, enclose it in quotes.

yes, i am using the correct parameters. I have double checked it. I am using the project suite variables, /psv

The name of the variable includes only english alphabets and no spaces anywhere. So, no need to enclose in the quotes. I even tried enclosing in quotes, but still no luck.

I guess this is a limitation on the Ready api side that it is not passing the parameters as test complete is expecting.

Might be worth raising a ticket?
