WinWaitClose doesn't work for second instance of a window

[jaded]

Hi folks,

 

I have the below script which is really testing my patience

It opens a cmd console (Raven.Smuggler.exe), exports a database, connects to VPN, imports the database (again Raven.Smuggler.exe), disconnects from VPN - and the idea is that the WinWaitClose waits for the cmd windows to be closed.

 

This works fine the first time (when exporting DB) and it doesn't continue the script till the window closes, but when the second cmd window opens (to import DB), it continues right away and disconnects from VPN.

There is no window title on the command window other than "c:RavenDBSmugglerRaven.Smuggler.exe" , but i don't know if it counts as a title or just the path.

 

I have tried using window title, class, instances etc, but nothing seems to work on the second window. I think it might have something to do with that the windows are alike?

 

Hope you can help me

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)


; Exports DB
Run("c:\RavenDB\Smuggler\Raven.Smuggler.exe out http://server01:8080/databases/test-develop e:\testdir\")
WinWaitClose("Smuggler")


; Run VPN Client
Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\vpngui.exe")
WinWaitActive("status: Disconnected | VPN Client")
Sleep(500)


; Connects to VPN Server
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive("status: Connected | VPN Client")
Sleep(500)


; Imports DB
Run("c:\RavenDB\Smuggler\Raven.Smuggler.exe in http://server01:8080/databases/test-develop e:\testdir\")
WinWaitClose("Smuggler")


; Closes VPN Client
WinActivate("status: Connected | VPN Client")
Sleep(1000)
Send("!c")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{DOWN}{ENTER}")
Sleep(5000)
Send("!{F4}")

Maybe try with this :

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
[...]
WinWaitClose("Smuggler.exe")

Thank you for the answer jguinch. Sadly it didn't help. When i try with "Smuggler.exe" it doesn't even wait for the first window to close before proceeding.

ProcessWaitClose ?

Have you tried getting a handle for the first cmd window?

And then tried the instance with that?

Usually when I use cmd windows (DOS console) I use RunWait or perhaps ProcessWait etc.

You can also try utilizing the pid.

Thank you guys!

ProcessWaitClose did the trick Didn't know that one.
