Continue on error

Hi, I have the following question: How to continue with the next step of the same testcase after an error occurs? Scenario: - We have 40 customized checkpoints in one testcase (mode 'KeywordTests'...
Test Run

    I only know of three configuration settings that relates to execution behavior when error occur, and TestComplete default installation setting I only need to tweak the Project playback setting to continue.
    1-Project Suite > "Test Items" > checkbox "Stop on error" have it unchecked 
    2-Project > Properties > Playback > "On error" set it to "Continue running" 
    3-Execution Plan > Properties > the "On error" set it to "Use project's 'On error' property"

    That works properly for me, and after the run completes, I view all failed property checkpoints to update individually failed checks.

    Hope this helps

Hi, rraghvani

Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work.

I had mutated 2 images so that 2 errors should be displayed in the log, but only one error is displayed (see attachment).

With which setting would it work?

Kind regards

Using execution plan to run five tests, these are the differences

On Error = Stop Current ItemOn Error = Continue Running

When On Error = Continue Running, the next statement is executed. In this case, it's Log.Message("Is this shown after error?");

    That's not my usecase. With multiple tests it is working, but my usecase is one single test.

      I'm just showing an example.

      Running a single test, I get the same results.

        I see only one error ('Two') in your previous screenshot. - My expectation is that 2 errors ('Two' & 'Three') from different test steps (within a single test - not in multiple tests) will be displayed.

        Is the log message 'Is this shown after error?' really be a single step, which has been executed after the test step that threw the error?

        Which settings do you use in the 'Execution plan' for this single test? - And which settings to you use in the 'Project Settings' section?
