Terminate Method

Applies to TestComplete 15.63, last modified on April 23, 2024

Description

The TestedApp.Terminate tries to terminate all instances of the given application that were launched by TestComplete. Use this method as a last resort, when the TestedApp.Close method cannot stop the application. Terminate tries to close the application and returns True if the application actually closes within the time period specified by the Auto-wait timeout project option, otherwise it returns False.

To close any existing process in the system, you can also use Process.Close or Process.Terminate.

  var TestApp, TestAppName;
  // Obtains the tested application
  TestApp = TestedApps.Items(0);
  TestAppName = TestApp.ItemName;

  TestApp.Run();

  

  // Closes the tested application and checks whether it was closed successfully
  if (! TestApp.Close() )
    {
    Log.Warning("The " + TestAppName + " application was not closed successfully and will be terminated.");
    // Terminates the tested application
    TestApp.Terminate();
    }

}

def Test():
  # Obtains the tested application
  TestApp = TestedApps.Items[0]
  TestAppName = TestApp.ItemName
  # Launches the tested application

  if not TestApp.Close():
    Log.Warning("The " + TestAppName + " application was not closed successfully and will be terminated.")
    # Terminates the tested application
    TestApp.Terminate()

    Log.Warning("The " & TestAppName & " application was not closed successfully and will be terminated.")
    ' Terminates the tested application
    TestApp.Terminate
  End If

End Sub
