can not create a testComplete object

[chrislukasik]

I am using visual studio 12,  with C#

 exception. System.NullReferenceException: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object..

System.Exception: Can not create TestComplete object.
at AutomatedQA.script.var.GetObjectAlternative(String Name, String AlternativeName)
at AutomatedQA.TestComplete.Connect.TBaseTCClass.GetTestCompleteIntegration()
at AutomatedQA.TestComplete.Connect.IntegrationClass.Init()
at AutomatedQA.script.var.get_Item(String name, var[] args)
at AutomatedQA.TestComplete.Connect.RunTest(String LogName, String ProjectName, String SuiteName)

I tried the solution to modify the troubleshooting compatibility of devenv.exe and that did not work

Hi @chrislukasik,

There are some specifics of working with TestComplete via COM. Please check out the following article to make sure that you set everything correctly:

Also, pay attention to the fact that we recommend using TestLeft to create test code that runs from within your tested application

Hi,

In addition, just released TestComplete 14.10 provides REST API that may appear to be useful for you: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/tc-service/api.html
