Failure Print's Log Scripts Function - TestComplete 12

    I don't think that's the problem.

    Try something...  In your code, rather than designating X, Y, Height, and Width, just put "Sys,Desktop" in the picture parameter. The way TestComplete works is that doing so will implicitly call the "Picture" method of the object and post it to the log.  Now, this will include the FULL desktop which might include multiple monitors (which, based upon your screenshots, you are using), but at least it will verify that the picture part of the Log.Error is still working.

    Next trouble shooting is then to double check and make sure that the variables you are setting are actually integers and are the correct values at that point in the code.  Drop a break point on the line that logs the message with the picture and inspect the variable values.  If the picture isn't logging, the problem might be in those values somewhere.  It's possible that the code you are using to set those values is not setting them properly and, therefore, they aren't doing what you want.

     

    Finally, again, because you are using multiple monitors, if your hardware configuration has shifted a bit (such as if a monitor that used to be monitor ID 1 and is now 2 or 3) or if your screen resolution is changing, you could be passing improper values based upon old configurations.

    But, essentially, let's start at the top and make sure that you can take a screenshot of your desktop.

    Robert, I got it sorted out.

     

    According to your point about logic, I've reviewed all the code.

    In the moment of capture the size and location of the program was coming dirt with incorrect values. By clearing and firing the "refresh command" (Aliases.Corporate.Refresh ()) on the controls, it captured the size and location correct. Now the Print Screen Command again only work on the system and even with 2 monitors.

     

    Thank you very much for the help and analysis.

The function is using Log.Warning to log the information. What you are showing in the log files is the result of an Error.  There is no "Warning" message showing in the log so this indicates that, for some reason, your code for taking the screenshot isn't actually executing at all.

 

I appreciate the list of things that you mentioned that were checked, however, there still appears to be some problem in the logical flow of the tests where the specific Log.Warning call is not being executed.  My guess is that the function that is checking for the existance of the failure message is not running the same logic.  The error message posted in the log hints that there is a comparison being made between the name of one object and the name of another object.  So, that's where I'd start looking to figure out what's going on in that comparison and, when it fails the test, why it's not triggering your other code.

It would be helpful to actually have the code that is logging that error message, a description of how the picture logging is being called (is it being called from an event handler or directly in code?), and any other information you may give in specific details.

Follows a snippet of code

 

 Indicator.PushText("Verificando se existe msg XtraMessageBoxForm");

if( Aliases.Corporate.WaitWindow("*", "JBS Corporate",-1,100).Exists
|| Aliases.Corporate.WaitWindow("*", "Erro",-1,100).Exists
)
{
Options.Run.Timeout = TimeoutValue;


Log.Error('Erro exibido na tela associado a alguma regra. Verificar.','', pmNormal, undefined, Sys.Desktop.Picture(Project.Variables.DesktopX,Project.Variables.DesktopY,Project.Variables.CorporateWidth,Project.Variables.CorporateHeight), -1);

Aliases.Corporate.WinFormsObject("XtraMessageBoxForm", "*").WinFormsObject("SimpleButton", "*").ClickButton();
return false;
}
