Working With TortoiseHg Client

What Is TortoiseHg?

Enabling Integration of TestComplete and TortoiseHg

Working With TortoiseHg From TestComplete

TortoiseHg is a free GUI client for Mercurial. TortoiseHg can significantly simplify your interaction with Mercurial. It operates as a standalone application and as a Microsoft Windows shell extension. TortoiseHg dialogs can be invoked by third party applications, for example by TestComplete.

You can download TortoiseHg from here:

To enable integration with TortoiseHg:

1. In TestComplete, select Tools > Options > Source Control from the main menu to open the Source Control Options dialog.

2. Make sure that the Current source control plugin option is set to Mercurial Plugin.

3. Enable the Use TortoiseHg client option.

4. Click OK to save the changes and close the Source Control Options dialog.

Once TortoiseHg integration is enabled, new commands appear in the Source Control submenu of the Project Explorer’s context menu, the File | Source Control menu of TestComplete and the Source Control toolbar.

Items of the Source Control menu with TortoiseHg integration enabled.

Use those commands to call TortoiseHg dialogs directly from TestComplete.
