how to continue to next Data-Driven loop item on error

Now i am testing a windows application, record the create new customer operation, need to read data from excel and enter the input fields. And i am using the Data Driven Loop to run multiple test cases, TestComplete will stop on error if there exists error, so i want to know how to continue to next Data-Driven Loop item.

    Under the 'Tools > Current Project Properties' menu,

    click on 'Playback' in the left navigation

    uncheck the 'Stop on Error' checkbox under the 'Runtime' section. 

     

    Then it will display the error in Log and will move to next test item.

      Hi Shankar R,

       

      Thanks for your reply, but my question is how to move to next Data-Driven Loop item, if there any one step under Data-Driven Loop failure, i want to skip the rest steps and move to next Data-Driven Loop item.

       

      Thanks

        If you are using Script data-driven loop then you can use try catch to ignore the current iteration error like below,

         

        For example:

         

        function Main()
{
    Driver = DDT.ExcelDriver("../../TestBook.xlsx", "TestSheet", true)
    TestedApps.RunAll(); 
    orders = Aliases.Orders;
    mainForm = orders.MainForm;
    while(!Driver.EOF())
    {
      try
      {
      OpenForm();
      orderForm = orders.OrderForm;
      groupBox = orderForm.Group;
      PopulateForm();
      Checkpoint();
      CloseForm();
      }
     catch(ex)
     {
      Log.Error("Error in loop");
     }

      Driver.Next();
    }
    CloseApplication();
}
