How can I post screenshot and text to the same test log item?

Hi,



I would like to know how can I do that. I know how log something(ex. text) and screen but each at the separate test log item.



Thanks,

    You can use this script



    /**

    * Saves printscreen to logs <br>

    * @method PrintScreen

    */

    function PrintScreen()

    {

      Log.Picture(Sys.Desktop.Picture(), "PRINTSCREEN");

    }

    Hi Paul,


     


    Another approach you may like is to pass a picture to the Log.Message method:


     




     //JScript


     Log.Message("MessageText","", pmNormal, null, Sys.Desktop.Picture());

    That's the visualizer feature of TestComplete.  When you play back a test script, all screenshots and interactions are sent t the test log.  This can be turned on in the project properties.



    Because visualizer and such generates a LOT of data on the hard drive, it's not something I'd necessarily recommend for all projects.

     Hi Paul,


      


     You can enable the Capture images only or Capture images and test object info option under Collect Test Visualizer data during test run to activate Visualizer.

     Hi,

      


     I use field.click method, why not all clicks send a screenshot to the logs?
