TestComplete Plugin 2.11 not working with Jenkins 2.581
The TestComplete Support Jenkins plugin (TcTestBuilder) requires the Apache Commons Lang 2.x library (class org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils) at runtime. Unfortunately, since our Jenkins installation was updated to the latest version, our tests no longer run because this library was deprecated and has now been removed. The call stack then shows, for example: 13:10:18 FATAL: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils 13:10:18 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils 13:10:18 Caused: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils 13:10:18 at PluginClassLoader for TestComplete//com.smartbear.jenkins.plugins.testcomplete.TcTestBuilder.makeCommandLineArgs(TcTestBuilder.java:1299) When can we expect the new version of the TestComplete plugin? I hope very soon... Downgrading Jenkins is out of the question for us.
Azure Pipeline cannot detect test item in Group under Execution Plan
How to identify the test item in Group under Execution Plan. I built a Group in Execution Plan for the purpose of regression testing scenario. In Group, I associated every Keyword Test as "test item" and flagged "test case" matching with Azure Devops's test case under test suites in test plan. But when pushing to Git and pipeline running, above test item cannot be detected. Why? In [search for test cases], it sets to "search for test cases"
TestComplete hanging during iOS automation with background script execution
Hi everyone, I’m currently running into an issue while trying to automate a series of regression tests on physical iOS devices using TestComplete. My project requires me to validate how our application handles high-load scenarios while secondary script executors are active in the background, but I'm seeing consistent session timeouts that I can't quite pin down. Specifically, I’ve been trying to run these tests while an exploit ios environment is processing tasks on the same device. Every time TestComplete attempts to record a new user action or play back a keyword test while that environment is active, the TestComplete agent on the device seems to lose connection or becomes completely unresponsive. I’ve already checked the "Object Search" timeout settings and tried increasing the project’s playback delay, but the hang seems to happen at the OS level rather than within the app itself. Has anyone else experienced TestComplete crashing or hanging when the iOS device is under heavy load from third-party script injectors or executors? I’m curious if there are specific iOS "Background App Refresh" settings or developer mode configurations I should be tweaking to ensure TestComplete maintains its hook even when other scripts are running. If anyone has a workaround for keeping the automation stable during these types of complex execution scenarios, I’d really appreciate the help!
Automate Cookie Security Flag or Security Header
Are there any possible ways to check Cookie Security or Security Header Flag like below with TestComplete tool? HttpOnly Secure SameSite Server Version Content-Security-Policy Strict-Transport-Security X-Frame-Options X-Content-Type-Options Referrer-Policy Permission Policy Cross-Site Scripting ProtectionTest Execution Summary Not Visible on Jenkins
I’m no longer able to view the Test Execution Summary on Jenkins. My test suite completes successfully, and I can still see the brief “failed test” overview under the Tests tab. However, the usual detailed summary within the TestComplete Test Results view is no longer visible. When I try to open the log from that view, the page loads but remains blank. This issue began occurring recently. My current workaround is to download the log file from the TestComplete Test Results tab, then upload and view it manually in TestComplete. Since I review multiple different test suites daily, this workaround is becoming inefficient. any advice? thanks in advance!
Checking API Status in TestComplete
Introduction I first saw the need to verify the state of an API several years ago with an application that used an address validation API in several of it's operations. If this API was down or did not respond in a timely manor, many of the automated test cases would run and fail. In this case, and in others, I have found that doing a simple call to the API to check the returned status code allowed me to skip, fail or log a warning with a logical message instead of allowing the application to fail with another less direct error message due to the API issue. The aqHttp Object The TestComplete aqHttp object and it's methods are very useful for performing simple checks like this and are also useful for other more complex tasks like leveraging an API to return a test data set or even verifying a certain data is returned prior to running tests against the UI that depend on the data. Sending and Receiving HTTP Requests From Script Tests More Complete API Testing Most proper API testing should be done using a tools like ReadyAPI or SoapUI. Both of these tools will integrate with TestComplete or can be used alone and will provide much more capabilities and automation options. Integration With ReadyAPI and SoapUI Code Example Here I have provided a working example of how to code a Get request using 'aqHttp.CreateRequest' to confirm an API returns a status code of 200 and it will log the returned records. function sendGetRequest() { let resourcePath ="https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all" let resourceQuery = "?fields=name,capital"; let url = resourcePath + resourceQuery; try { // Send GET request let response = aqHttp.CreateRequest("GET", url, false).Send(); // Check for successful response if (response.StatusCode === 200) { // Parse JSON response let allData = JSON.parse(response.Text); Log.Message("Total records received: " + allData.length); // Process each record allData.forEach((record, index) => { Log.Message("Record " + (index + 1) + ": " + JSON.stringify(record)); }); return true; // Send a bool back to the calling function. } else { throw new Error("Failed to fetch data. Status code: " + response.StatusCode); } } catch (error) { Log.Error("Error during request or data processing: " + error.message); } } Enhancements You could accept parameters for the resourcePath and resourceQuery. Parameterize the logging loop run or remove it. Return the JSON to the calling function for use. Perform other tasks based on the return code. Conclusion With the growing use of API calls in desktop applications and the fact that APIs are almost the foundation of any web site checking an API before a test case run is almost a requirement for consistent test runs and good error logging. This small script can bring big rewards to your test runs and reports. Cheers! I hope you find it as useful as I have!

Did any one tried TestComplete Allure Jenkins Integration. I am unable to see Test steps when using /exportsummary.Its working fine but showing basic detail and when using /exportlog then its unable to parse xml file. I want to see TestLog also in Allure html file.
