Set some persistent project suite variable to be true or false depending on what you already know about the file differences.  Use the variable in an IF statement to choose whether or not you do the file comparison.

Hi Joseph,

 

That's not exactly what I need,

Firstable I want to keep the file comparison, and the boolean result of it,

Then I also need test logs

But I want to exclude the ability of viewing differences (when you click on "detail" to see differences in the log).

As a matter of fact I find the file comparison log useless until it is truncated to 5000 lines.

 

Thanks,

 

Mehdi

      Hi Joseph,

       

      What a usefull post !

       

      What I saw is that WinMerge is automaticaly launched after TestComplete noticed a difference between 2 files.

      But I use TestExecute and I don't need that, in fact I would like an hypertext link which leads you to WinMerge.

       

      I done something by myself with Batch files.

       

      Thank you,
