JVMExecutable Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.46, last modified on January 09, 2023

Description

Specifies the path to Java Virtual Machine Launcher that should be used to start the tested application. This is the same value as the one specified in the Java Virtual Machine to use parameter for the tested Java application in the TestedApps editor.

Typically, each instance of a Java Virtual Machine has two launchers: java.exe and javaw.exe. The java.exe and javaw.exe launchers are identical, except that javaw.exe has no associated console window. Use javaw.exe when you don’t want the command prompt window to appear. The javaw.exe launcher will, however, display a dialog box with an error if the launch fails for some reason.

The property is applied to the following object:

Property Value

A string that specifies the fully-qualified path to the desired Java Virtual Machine Launcher.

Remarks

If you assign a value to this property, TestComplete will treat your project as modified. So, you will need to save or cancel changes when closing the project. The specified value will be displayed in the TestedApps editor.

To specify the property value, you can use project and project suite variables as well as the operating system’s environment variables.

The project or project suite variables must be of the string type. To refer to them, use the following syntax --

$(var_name)

--for example, “$(MyVar1)”.

Note: When evaluating the value of the property, TestComplete first searches for the specified variable in the project variables, then in the project suite variables. Please keep this in mind if you have project and project suite variables with the same names.

To refer to environment variables, use the following syntax --

%var_name%

-- for example, %Path%.

Note that variables can refer to each other, for instance, a project variable may include a reference to an environment variable. TestComplete will recursively analyze the variables and form the resulting value that does not contain variable names.
