Silent Script not working

[romanmfs]

I had these scripts forever throughout my test cases and the y never broke until now. 

Not sure what has changed. 

This script I am using to "not save changes before closing" because i am running multiple test cases scheduled during the night.

Here is a script:

function SetSilentMode()
{
var rmNormal = 0;
var rmErrorAndWarning = 1;
var rmErrorOnly = 2;
var rmSilent = 3;

var tcManager = Sys.OleObject("TestComplete.TestCompleteApplication").Manager;
tcManager.RunMode = rmSilent;

Here is an error: 

JavaScript runtime error. Server execution failed, ClassID: {990BBECC-B5F4-478C-9E90-1758B3CE814C} Error location: Unit: "CCCS ES SUITE\CDN CACHE\Script\Silent" Line: 9 Column: 23.

When I ran TC 12.50 and went to the object browser, in the Sys node there, I can, in the OleObject property, put that parameter in.  When I do so, I get first a message "TestComplete is already running" and, if I close that, I get the error.

So....  why it used to work and doesn't now I don't know... If you upgraded TestComplete recently, that might have something to do with it.  

However... I question the need for this script.  If you are running the tests overnight unattended, you can trigger execution via commandline and, in the commandline, add the switch "/SilentMode" which will do what you want without needing to run any script code at all.

I see, I have them set up in Task Scheduler to run overnight.

I also been getting the error that TC is already running

Right... so, two things:

1) before leaving the machine at night, make sure you close TestComplete so that you don't get the error...  command line of TestCOmplete launches a new instance of TestComplete to run the test run.  

2) In your command line in your task scheduler, include /SilentMode.

You the BOSS!

Hi, so im back at it again. 

I had disabled the scripts and added additional arguments to my task scheduler at the end thinking it would work.

"D:\TC\PROJECTS\CCCS_ES\CCCS ES SUITE\CCCS ES SUITE.pjs" /r /e/ SilentMode

What am i doing wrong here?

All I did was adding "SilentMode" at the end expecting it to do the same what the script was suppose to do- close TC after running w/o asking to save so the next scheduled test case runs with no issues.

I can't tell you what you're doing wrong until you tell me what's NOT happening. At first glance, you are missing a space after the /e and you have an extra space before SilentMode but it's hard to tell if that's just a typo or if that's your actually command line.

The FULL commandline genrated by Windows Task Schedulur should be something like

cmd.exe /c "%programfiles%\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\bin\testComplete.exe" "D:\TC\Projects\CCCS_ES_CCCS ES SUITE\CCCS ES SUITE.pjs" /r /e /SilentMode

so... what's going wrong?  Please post your FULL command line exactly as you have it entered... if necessary, post screenshots.
