UFT running in headless mode when run from ALM as 'Run Test Set' or 'Run One'

David Mudge 2 months ago

When I run a test locally from ALM and I choose Run Test Set or I select Run from the Automatic Runner it runs the test in headless mode and runs really slow

However, if I select the Run option, then Run All from the Automatic Runner it runs fine showing the Browser Window

How can I get around this? The end goal is to run tests from Jenkins triggering the tests to run on a remote machine so I hope by that method it will not run in headless.

Thanks

How are you managing the browser the test runs in? There are really 3 main ways I know of
1. record and run settings
2. webutil.launchbrowser
3. system command to launch exe of browser

(i suppose you could interact with the icon, but yuck!)

To run headless I think you need to specify that browser by name: WebUtil Object (microfocus.com)

Im starting the Browsers with the following command:

systemutil.Run "msedge.exe", "-InPrivate --start-maximized --allow-insecure-localhost"

or

systemutil.Run "chrome.exe", " -incognito --start-maximized --allow-insecure-localhost"

I do this because I need to set a variable for the test whether the tests run in Edge or Chrome. I also want them to start in private / incognito and ignoring SSL errors as our current app doesn't have a valid certificate installed yet

Is there a better way to do it? As it is definitely running in headless when I select Run Test Set etc and I havent set any options for it to run in headless

Thanks
