TestComplete Jenkins Plugin - GUI test, TestComplete did not launch it.

[shenyusun]

Hello Community,

I tired to integrate TestComplete project with Jenkins, but somehow TestComplete won't launch when Jenkins started to build.

I was thinking maybe because "Silent' mode was passed as argument? If so, how do I modify it so it won't be silent mode.

My setup:

1. Jenkins slave running as service mode.

2. TestComplete 11

3. Jenkins console log is hanging at this screen:

14:30:08 [TestComplete] Found TestComplete/TestExecute installations:
14:30:08 	Type: TC, Version: 11.31.2420.7, Path: "C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestComplete 11\bin\TestComplete.exe"
14:30:08 [TestComplete] Selected TestComplete/TestExecute installation:

4. Jenkins configuration(See attachment)

Any help/suggestion would be helpful!

Thank you!

Support resolved the issue.

The Jenkins Service needs to run by Local account.

There were links to documentation for setting up Jenkins to work with TestComplete.  Did you follow those?

Also, the solution marked here indicates that the problem was that they needed to have Jenkins run as a local account.  have you made that change?
