Using /exit does not close TestComplete when running from a batch File

[MegO]

Hi,

I am currently running groups of Tests using a combination of a Jscript file:

// RunTestItemGroup.js

var testItemGroup, project;


var objArgs = WScript.Arguments;
var projectSuite = objArgs(0);

for (i = 1; i < objArgs.length; i++)
{
if (objArgs(i).search(/\/testitemgroup:/i) != -1)
{
testItemGroup = objArgs(i).replace(/\/testitemgroup:/i, "");
}
if (objArgs(i).search(/\/p:/i) != -1)
{
project = objArgs(i).replace(/\/p:/i, "");
}

}


var tc = new ActiveXObject("TestComplete.TestCompleteX64Application.12");

var tci = tc.Integration;
tc.Visible = true;
tci.OpenProjectSuite(projectSuite);
ProjectTestItems = tci.TestSuite(project);
tci.RunProjectTestItem(project, testItemGroup);

and then calling this from a batch file:

Wscript.exe "C:\RunGroup.js" "\TestComplete\ProjectSuite\ProjectSuite.pjs" /r /p:TestRun001 /testitemgroup:Other /exit /silentmode
Exit

Does anybody know how to exit TestComplete in this scenario.

Hi,

You are manually starting an instance of TestComplete as a COM object in your code. Started TC instance has no clue about parameters that were passed to the script file (RunGroup.js) used to instantiate it thus you must handle this in your code.
