SessionCreator Execution Logs
Hi there, Does SessionCreator.exe output any execution or operational logs? I'm running it on Azure on nodes in a pool. For some reason I can't figure out, one of the tasks times out, because (I think) SessionCreator/TE has crashed. When I connect to the node myself, I can see the last test that was ran from a log I am writing to during project suite execution, but I can't see why it stopped/crashed, as there has been no mht log produced. The Event Viewer also has no information at the time that the last test ran, which is around where I am expecting SessionCreator/TE to have crashed. Thanks! :)16Views0likes3CommentsProblem using TestExecute in dynamic CI pipeline runner using id-based authentication
Hello. We only have smartbear ids, and no access keys. The CI process spawns new test vms, installs our product, and installs TestExecute with the -SLM flag. If I install and log into TestComplete on one of these dynamically created vms I can use testexecute to run our tests. However, I'm having a really hard time getting those tests to run with just TestExecute on the dynamically created runner vms from our Jenkins Controller. I have TestComplete installed and logged in on the Jenkins controller, but neither the TestComplete Support plugin nor a batch script running TestExecute works without installing TestComplete on the ci runner. I've tried SessionCreator, but again it needs TestComplete installed and logged-in on for a specific user on the remote runner for that to work. How are you supposed to use TestExecute on dynamic runners with id-based authentication without installing TestComplete on the runners as well?155Views0likes3CommentsDisable the TextComplete\TestExecute update dialoge automatically (without GUI interaction)
Dear Community, I would like to install TestComplete\TestExecute automatically and then call it via the command line to test certain things. The problem I have is the update dialogue. This appears later and interrupts my test. Dialogues can be suppressed with the /SilentMode parameter, but unfortunately, the following call does not work for me with the latest 15.x.x but worked with latest version of 14.x.x with the following parameters. "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\x64\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\TestCompleteProjects\my_solution.pjs" /run /p:Clone_Me /t: "KeywordTests|Main" /SilentMode /ForceConversion /exit Without the "/SilentMode" parameter, everything works perfectly, but the update dialogue appears later. My questions are: - Can I automatically (without disabling it manually in the settings) deactivate the update check without the /SilentMode parameter? - Is it possible to update automatically without the update dialogue appearing? - Why does my call with the /SilentMode parameter not work? Many thanks in advance. Andreas166Views1like3CommentsSessionCreator does not open alert window in browser, although TestComplete and TestExecute do
SessionCreator does not open alert window in browser, although TestComplete and TestExecute do. I useChrome with up to date Version 119.0.6045.160 (Official Build) (64-bit). And it worked withSessionCreator too few weeks ago. Any ideas?

Hello, I'm pretty new to SmartBear Tescomplete. I'm trying to integrate with Gitlab so the test can run automatically. I followed this tutorial:https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/scc/gitlab.html However, first I wanted to run the command from the machine itself (I also tried it in mine): C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecuteLite 15\Bin> SessionCreator.exe RunTest /UserName:MyUserName /password:MyPassword /UseActiveSession /ProjectPath:"C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\MyTests.pjs" I got the following error: Unable to run the test, because neither TestComplete, nor TestExecute was found. Any ideas? Thanks in advanceSolved142Views0likes1CommentStop Resetting preferences when doing an update!!
I don't understand why Testcomplete still changes preferences when an update is installed. This frequently costs me valuable time since certain preferences make the program not launch. In particular the "Enable Support for Testing Windows Store Applications". This preference gets turned on every single time an update is installed. I have reported it many times over the years to support and I don't understand why it is still being done. Do Windows store applications even exist anymore? Why does TC insist on this being turned on? Why not default it to off? Having this feature turned on requires elevated privileges in order to launch TC projects from the cmd line or using task scheduler. If the feature is on all tasks will fail to launch meaning no tests are ran. The problem is caused by storing this preference data in a file in the install directory here: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\x64\Bin\TestComplete.exe.manifest" This is bad practice and I am not sure why only some preferences are stored in this manifest file while the rest are stored in the correct user specific appdata location. What can be done to fix this? Thanks.183Views0likes2CommentsCommand line result storage
TestComplete.exe "E:\Projects\abc\abc-web\a-web.pjs" /r /sl /p:Regression /t:"KeywordTests|abc_login" /sl:"E:\Results\new-log.txt" I wrote this, opens TS, runs the Keyword tests abc_login but does not store results in E drive. I looked at the Command line documentation and could not figure it out. I know it`s something small thing that I am missing in the code above. Help is highly appreciated.

Hi, We have been testing running TestExecute under GitHub actions but have hit an issue. For the tests to work, TC needs to run in an interactive user session so that it can click on buttons etc. and it looks like this is not available under a Git-Hub hosted runner. Do you know how to run it in a Git-hub hosted runner? under Jenklins we used the SessionCreator, can that be used in Github runners?Thanks, Ofer255Views0likes3Commentsrunning github actions workflow using session creator
I have setup dedicated VDI machine to run our test scripts using Test Execute & session creator I am facing issue when i am not logged into the VDI machine, i always get below error in github actions log SessionCreator : Failed to create the user session. The user 'domain\user' failed to log in to this host using Remote Desktop. Failed to establish an RDP connection with a remote computer I am using github actions workflow and i have the command line script to kick off session creator and pass variables inside a PowerShell file. Any work around to overcome the user session issue?Solved430Views0likes6CommentsRemote Desk top connection
Does someone have a scenario where your scripts need to launch remote connection and logging to different server. And validate any windows-based application? If yes what's the solution using Test Complete and also run this scenario in unattended mode. Any advice will be helpful.127Views0likes1Comment
