Re: [QF-Test] Check If an Process is already running

[Gregor Schmid <Gregor.Schmid@?.de>]

Hi Lukas,

for an SUT client that connects to QF-Test, the preferred method for
checking for the client is a 'Wait for client to connect' node,
possibly inside a Try/Catch.

In your case, the JBoss server is probably a plain sub-process that
does not connect, so the 'Wait for client' will never succeed. The
easiest way for your "check and probably stop" function is a construct
like the following:

+ Try
  + Stop client <client name of JBoss>
  + Wait for process to terminate <client name of JBoss>
+ Catch NoSuchClientExcption

If JBoss was never started it's go right into the (empty) Catch,
otherwise the 'Stop client' should succeed. 'Wait for process to
terminate' is always a good idea because killing the process happens
asynchronously.

Best regards,
    Greg
