How to kill an AutoIT exe after itscompletion

[getafix]

Hi Everyone ,

I am calling AutoIt scripts from my Java test code ( I am using selenium with java)

The scripts runs fine when i run my tyests

But everytime i need to manually kill the autoIT exe from the taskbar ( By right clicking on the AutoIT icon>exit)

How can i kill the exe from the Autoit code itself ?

very much appreciate your help !

----------------------------------------------My script is as below-------------------------------------------------------

; IE save as dialogue

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", "2")

WinWait("File Download")

$title = WinGetTitle("File Download")

WinActivate($title)

WinWaitActive($title)

Send("s")

WinWait("Save As")

$title = WinGetTitle("Save As")

WinActivate($title)

WinWaitActive($title)

$filename = ControlGetText($title, "", "Edit1")

$fullpath = "C:\Users\Documents\Vendor.html"

ControlSetText($title, "", "Edit1", $fullpath)

Send("{ENTER}")

ConsoleWrite($fullpath)

$title = WinGetTitle("Download Complete")

WinActivate($title)

WinWaitActive($title)

Send("{ENTER}")

WinClose($title)

Hey,

Your code looks like it might be getting stuck on one of the WinWait or WinWaitActive.

you could use the optional timeout parameter to give your code a way out if something it is waiting for doesn't happen.

If WinWaitActive($title, "", 10) Then
    MsgBox(0, "Good", "It didn't time out so i can continue with the normal code")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Doh", "It timed out , what should i do instead?, maybe just exit")
    Exit
EndIf

Hi Yoriz,

Thanks Yoriz,

But my my script does not gets exited

Even after i added the following at the end of my code

WinClose($title)

Exit

Why is this ? Is there anything else i need to modify in my code

Thanks

I believe what Yoriz is pointing out is the omission of the timeout parameter results in the script 'hanging there', in the WinWaitActive statement, which is before the script can execute the Exit statement. So basically, any commands after the WinWaitActive won't be run.

Yes timeout is a issue. Have a look at the WinWaitDelay option.

Also

WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)

code is no good. One or the other. It is either already loaded or it will become active.

Try putting some error protection in too.

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", "2")
WinWait("File Download")
$title = WinGetTitle("File Download")
WinWaitActive($title)
If @error Then
    ConsoleWrite("Something went wrong")
    Exit
EndIf
Send("s")
WinWait("Save As")
$title = WinGetTitle("Save As")

WinWaitActive($title)
$filename = ControlGetText($title, "", "Edit1")
$fullpath = "C:\Users\Documents\Vendor.html"
ControlSetText($title, "", "Edit1", $fullpath)
Send("{ENTER}")
ConsoleWrite($fullpath)
$title = WinGetTitle("Download Complete")

WinWaitActive($title)
Send("{ENTER}")
WinClose($title)

Edit: minor code error

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply

Yeah i could see that when i commented my WinWaitActive statement at the end of my code the exe exits

Don't know why?

But yes there seems to be a timeout issue in the code

Many thanks
