Help with stopping a Project or Project Suite and running a cleanup routine
I've posted about this before, but I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around how to accomplish some tasks I want to perform in TestComplete.
I run a Project Suite from the command line, organized something like this:
Project Suite (test run command calls it)
- Project #1 - Setup
- - Test Item - Setup for Project Suite run (script routine)
- Project #2 - Feature A
- - Test Item - Setup for feature testing (script routine)
- - Test Item - Test #1 (script routine)
- - Test Item - Test #2 (script routine)
- - etc.
- - Test Item - Teardown for feature testing (script routine)
- Project #3 - Feature B
- - Test Item - Setup for feature testing (script routine)
- - Test Item - Test #1 (script routine)
- - Test Item - Test #2 (script routine)
- - etc.
- - Test Item - Teardown for feature testing (script routine)
- Project #4 - Teardown
- - Test Item - Teardown and reporting for Project Suite run (script routine)
There are a few different error cases I want to catch:
1. There's an error in the Project Suite Setup at the beginning. I want to export the test log, email a failure notification, and then stop the entire test run (Project Suite).
2. There's an error in a Setup routine for a given project. I want to run the project teardown/cleanup routine and then stop the project.
3. Errors within a project reach a critical level, which I've been tracking via a Project Variable. Because the feature appears to be having a mass failure, I want to run the project teardown/cleanup routine and then stop the project.
The first one I've accomplished through scripting, but if there's a better way to do it using TestComplete's "Stop on error" and Events, I would like to know.
The last two I'm stuck on. How do I stop a project while still managing to execute that project's teardown routines to clean up the feature testing?
Any help is appreciated.
