Re: Trying to open the File Explorer to then browse to an executable to check its digital signature
The powershell solution is sure interesting, but insufficient for the checks I want to do (just check for it to be valid is not enough). I ended up doing it the old fashioned way: opened File Explorer, browsed (since I could not paste the path on the address bar) to the installer location, opened Properties dialog and checked everything I needed. Thanks anyway for the suggestions!2.5KViews1like1CommentTrying to open the File Explorer to then browse to an executable to check its digital signature
Hello there! I want to verify the digital signature of an executable file (an installer) via TestComplete, but even though all the windows can be seen on the Object Browser (and thus can be mapped and manipulated via aliases), I'm stuck before that: how best to: Open the File Browser Go to the proper location (copy/paste of path on address bar I guess) Select (via "ClickR()" I would think) the expected installer to open the popup menu which has the Properties option. I pasted as example WinSCP installer's Properties window. I am totally stuck at opening the File Browser. I managed to open it (button on botom menu) but I simply cannot seem to paste the path of the executable on the address bar (will no allow SetText).Solved2.4KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Need to roll back TestComplete and TestExecute from 14.30 to 14.20
I had a test meltdown after doing template upgrade, which involved both MS Windows/Office and TC/TE. But I was able to pinpoint the cause, and lucky me, it's not TC/TE but MS Windows that caused the issue. Thanks anyway!!!1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: When testing Excel on Windows, sometimes TestComplete hangs before even launching Excel
Well I just confirmed that we saw the Store open on the taskbar on last night's run where TC froze and didn't open Excel, so it does point to this being the correct one. I' just want to wait before marking it as correct in case it's not (not sure how easy it is to reopen a question already marked as solved), only reason why I'm waiting. And thanks again for the REALLY quick reply (wish customer support in general were this good)!2.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: When testing Excel on Windows, sometimes TestComplete hangs before even launching Excel
Thanks for the reply! I already replied but it got deleted stating it was reported as spam, no idea why (I did edit it because I got soemthing wrong the first time, guess I better not edit replies then). In any case, I can't verify this until the next test run, which is tonight (as I say, it happens intermittently). So I will mark this as correct once I see a couple night's runs without this issue happening again (in case anyone wonders why I'm taking time to mark any solution as correct). That OK?2.4KViews0likes2CommentsWhen testing Excel on Windows, sometimes TestComplete hangs before even launching Excel
Hey everyone! I use TC and TE to test a proprietary plugin in Excel (WIN7 and WIN10, Office 2010, 2013, 2016) I see that SOMETIMES (say 10% of the time), on WIN10, TC when launched just hangs before even getting to launch Excel (which is the very first thing it does in our test project). Now, Task Manager, when this happens, doesn't show anything hoarding either memory or the CPU (no Antimalaware Service Executable suddenly hoarding CPU, we already took care of that), so at a glance it doesn't seem like a process somehow got in TC's way, resources wise. And since it becomes non responsive, I can't debug (like check in which line of code it got stuck and take it from there). Only way to recover is to kill TC in Task Manager, after which, upon relaunching and running again it works just fine. Any of the top of your head suggestions? All the similar topics I've found here seem relevant to TC hanging AFTER the tested app has already been launched, not prior (anything prior seems to involve exceptions and crashes instead).Solved2.5KViews0likes7Comments
