use python in a jscript project

[mortenb123]

Hi I've inherited a TC jsscript desktop project, now I want to speed up some of the desktop tests by connecting to a rest-api. (I've done this in another project using python).

Is it possible for me to use this in this project without rewriting it entirely into python.

Hi,

"by connecting to a rest-api"

You are connecting to external resources with for example JSON data or you mean that You have (somehow) TestComplete project methods as Rest-Api service?

"Is it possible for me to use this in this project without rewriting it entirely into python."

In my opinion You can't use python sctipts inside JS project. What You can do is to put JS scripts inside script extansions and then use it in python projects.

Hi,

As @Wamboo said, python code (like JavaScript one) cannot be reused anywhere but python (Javascript) project.

VBScript or JScript code can be moved to Script Extension and reused from there from any project.

I have a python module which drags in some modules called as an import, modules are installed with pip in the TC test execute context venv. I fear I have to do the same with nodejs.

Depending on what is required for tests, aqHTTP object (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqhttp/index.html) might appear to be enough...
