Test Execute Export Log

Hi,



You can do this in the same way you'd do it in scripts. Obtain the Log object via the Integration.GetObjectByName method and call SaveResultsAs.

Jared

  i have tried that  but the object never gets set.  what am i doing wrong?



the tests it is running  are keyword tests  the getobjectby name mentioned something about it will not return anything unless the test is running scripts

Remarks

The method returns the program object only if TestComplete is running script routines. If the script code is not running, the method returns an empty Variant value.

here is what i have tried.  the suite opens correctly and the test runs correctly

Dim ObjLog As Object = Nothing

Try

Call WriteLog(LogFile, "Running test")

TestCompleteObject.Integration.RunProject(TestProject)

ObjLog = TestCompleteObject.Integration.GetObjectByName("Log")

Catch ex As Exception

TestCompleteObject.Quit()

Call WriteLog(LogFile, "Error: " & ex.Message.ToString)

End Try

' do not move on until test is finished running

Do Until TestCompleteObject.Integration.IsRunning = False

Application.DoEvents()

Loop

Dim LogFileName As String = "C:\ExportLog\Test.mht"

ObjLog.SaveResultsAs(LogFileName, 2) 'lsMHT)

ObjLog = Nothing

Call WriteLog(LogFile, "Finished Running test")

Select Case TestCompleteObject.Integration.GetLastResultDescription.Status

Case TC_LOG_STATUS.lsOk

Passed = True

Case Else

Passed = False

End Select

Thanks

Hi Lynn,



The Log object is available when TC is in script running state. You need to use it while the test is running. There's no documented way to export logs if TC is not in the running state, however, the Integration object provides a way to do this. It is an undocumented way which will be suitable in your case.



After the loop which checks the running state, replace the SaveResultsAs call with the following line:

Call TestCompleteObject.Integration.ExportLastResult("{C32B59B0-6AD4-4921-A545-021C7B76E526}", LogFileName)

The first parameter is a GUID which corresponds to the MHT format of exported logs. The value hard-coded in this example will work if you export logs to MHT, and won't allow using other formats.
