Video Recording of Test Execution is Easy

Hi folks! My name is Alexander Gubarev, and I'm one of the QA engineers who are responsible for the TestComplete quality. Today, I want to share the VideoRecorder extension for TestComplete with ...

AGubarev Created a new project in Jscript this morning. Got the same results (non-playing video file of 1kb). So in script it isn't working either.. :(

 

Used TestComplete version:  12.42.3048.7 x86

Used VLC version: 2.2.8 (32bit)

 

Anyone got idea how to fix this? Is this even the right location for reporting bugs?

    Hi, mgroen2

     

    Hmm... it seems that something wrong in environment.

    Could you, please, launch you test, pause it after 2-3 seconds click on the icon of vlc player in taskbar and copy the text. Maybe some errors will be there.

      Hi AGubarev,

       

      I did as you suggested, and now I got an error message.

      The error message is displayed below.

       

      can you help me with this?

        Hi  all,

         

        I did some investigation myself, and I can give you an update now. First of all: the positive news: I got it working! :) :)

         

        I was triggered specifically by this part in the error message:

         

        " x264 encoder error: height not divisible by 2 "

         

        the situation is that I am running TestComplete in a VM, which was not running on full screen, appearantly at a resolution which is not divided by 2. 

        What I did to resolve it, was running the VM in fullscreen mode, which lead to a screenresolution dividabe by 2 (even numbers).

         

        That did the job. So, now everything is working as expected.

         

        Thanks all for thinking with me.

    Hi, mgroen2

     

    It seems that the issue is related with resolution.

    Is the 1904x977 the real resolution on your monitor, or it somehow related to non-100% monitor?

     

    I prepared the new version of extension and re-attached it to this topic. Could you, please, try it?

    I tried to fix the error but not sure that it helps to non-standard resolutions.

      Hi, yes it's not the real resolution, but it's related to non-100% monitor. I run TestComplete in a VM and when the VM is not maximed to full screen mode, the issue is occurring. Switching the VM to full screen mode resolves the issue.
