How can I see the stacktrace when errors are catched using try catch finally?

Hi,   i'm calling a code sequence within a try-catch-finally block with TestExecute, e.g.:   function one() {   try   {      // call a function 'abc' which has an object error      abc();  ...

When you call Log.Error, do something like this:

Log.Error ('Message: " + exception.description, exception.stack);

What that will do is, in your Additional Info pane for your log entry, you will get the stack as reported from the JavaScript/JSCRIPT enginer

Hi,

 

exception.stack is undefined. The Exception-Object has only the following fields: description, message, name, number

 

sincerely

    Is your project a JScript project or a JavaScript project? I may have made the wrong assumption that it is JavaScript. JScript I don't believe has the stack property but JavaScript, I believe, does.

      Yes, it is a JScript Project

        That explains it.

        If you are so inclined, you CAN convert your project from JScript to JavaScript with very little in the way of "gotchas". There might be a few tweaks here and there that you would need to change but I think you will benefit from it since TestComplete uses the newer engine for JavaScript while JScript is going by the ECMAScript 3 standards.
