public class SAFSTC
extends GenericEngine

A wrapper to Test Complete SAFS engine--the "TC" engine. This engine can only be used if you have a valid install of the Test Complete product.

The default SAFSDRIVER Tool-Independent Driver (TID) does not provide for any command-line options to configure the Engine. All configuration information must be provided in config files. By default, these are SAFSTID.INI files. See SAFSTID Config Files for more information.

The TC supported config file items:

 [SAFS_TC]
 AUTOLAUNCH=FALSE                     Defaults to FALSE because config info must be valid.
 HOOK=C:\SAFS\TCAFS\TCAFS.VBS         (TC Automation Object Model startup via WSH cscript.exe)
 ;HOOK=C:\PathTo\AnyExecutable.EXT    (Alternate method of starting like via a .BAT file)
 ;TIMEOUT=45                          (Alternate AutoLaunch timeout value in seconds)
 ;SuiteName="C:\SAFS\TCAFS\TCAFS.pjs" (Alternate project suite to use instead of default TCAFS.pjs)
 ;ProjectName="TCAFS"                 (Alternate project to use instead of default TCAFS)
 ;ScriptName="StepDriver"             (Alternate script to use instead of default StepDriver)
 ;OPTIONS="/customArg:value /Another" (Optional passthru args to go to TC scripts needing them)
 ;ConvertSAFSInputKeysSyntax=ON|OFF   (ON to use SAFS InputKeys syntax in Test Complete)
 

Note: The HOOK item can be a VBS script that will be used as an argument to the CSCRIPT.EXE executable for Windows Script Host. This script is intended to use the TC Automation Object Model to prepare and then launch TC as desired by the tester.

The HOOK item can also be a valid full path to any other executable -- like a batch file (.BAT). The value of HOOK in this case will be used "as is". The Java Runtime.exec function will attempt to launch this, so whatever limitations placed by the Runtime.exec from Java apply. Mostly this may only be an issue if spaces or tabs exist in the string.

We do use a ProcessConsole to keep the Process in, out, and err streams from filling up.

Method Detail

launchInterface

public void launchInterface(java.lang.Object configInfo)

Extracts configuration information and launches TC initialization script in a new process.
@author JCRUNK AUG 1, 2006 Modified CScript launch command for VBScript.

Specified by:

launchInterface in interface ConfigurableToolsInterface

Overrides:

launchInterface in class GenericEngine

Parameters:

configInfo - can be whatever the final implementation needs it to be. This might be a String with configuration information, the name of a class, or an instance of some object used to provide configuration assets.

Override superclass to catch unsuccessful initialization scenarios.

Specified by:

processRecord in interface EngineInterface

Overrides:

Returns:

the status code resulting from the processing.

• 4 -- SCRIPT NOT EXECUTED. "I did not process this record."
• -1 -- NO SCRIPT FAILURE. "I processed the record successfully."
• -2 -- SCRIPT WARNING. "I processed the record, issued warning(s)."
• 0 -- SCRIPT FAILURE. "I processed the record, issued failure(s)."
• 2 -- IO FAILURE. "I process the record, issued IO failure(s)."
• 8 -- EXIT TABLE. "I processed the record, exit current table."
