Re: Why could TestComplete/TestExecute fail to work with IE 11 in a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment
Here is a list of the things I have tried to remedy this situation: -Uninstall / Re-install TE with admin privileges -Manually start TE (This works) -GPO start TE from the executeable path (doesn't work) -GPO start TE from a custom link path that permits admin level privileges (doesn't work) -Scheduled Task start TE (doesn't work even when launched with highest privileges -Batch file start TE (doesn't work) -Delayed Scheduled Task start TE (doesn't work) Is there a debug mode for TE that would allow me to see why this aqComm.dll is failing? If I could see that, I could possibly fix any potential permisssions issues with the app, or provide more information about what might be causing the issue...Re: Why could TestComplete/TestExecute fail to work with IE 11 in a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment
I've managed to narrow this problem down a little further... So here goes. I previously had a GPO in place to launch our tested application and TestExecute when the machines were started. If I disable this GPO, I have to manually start both the tested application and TestExecute. When the TE application is started manually, the applicaiton will run the scripts without failure. If I allow the GPO to start the tested application and TE, then the test will launch Internet Explorer ( a step required to generate data for the tested applicaiton) and then it appears to lose scope of the the IE browser. When TE and the tested app are launched via GPO, and the test fails, I can then cause a crash with the TE applicaiton by simply right clicking the TE system tray icon and using the applicaiton's built in exit command. Exiting the application in this manner (the intended manner), causes the crash, which reports a problem with asComm in TestExecute.Why could TestComplete/TestExecute fail to work with IE 11 in a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment
I have an environment full of Server 2012 R2 Machines. If I force the GPOs down on them and restart them, TC/TE will work. If I neglect to force the GPO down (which shouldn't make a difference), TC/TE will fail in this manner: - Launch browser - Wait for browser - TC can't see the browser it just launched - The commands to launch and check for the browser are wrapped in try/catch (jscript) and report "unspecified error" This exact script is deployed to another environment, where it runs on windows 7 machines, and it works perfectly fine. All of these systems are in the same domain, in the same OU, and use the exact same GPOs (which basically apply the recommended TC/TE requirements from the help file). Anyone see this same behavior, or have any direction....Re: How to find & enter data in field for desktop application without use of Click operation ?
It sounds as if an "Alias" might be what you're looking for. You can map an object using TC's object finder, and then create an alias to the object that you can then reference during your scripting or keyword testing. See these links: http://support.smartbear.com/screencasts/testcomplete/reliable-tests-for-dynamic-objects/ http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55236/ http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55168/ http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/57324/Re: Event Handler(s)
Why not simply use function main() { try{ EstablishConnection(); Test1(); Test2(); } catch(ex){ Log.Message("ERROR: " + ex.message); } finally{ CloseConnection(); } } You could also create an object to track your connection, and test against that object whenever you needed to verify if the thing even exists. Doing so would give you more connection based information, and allow you to add your tests as methods to the connection object.
