Hi,

 

Technically, to add some mark at the end of each test is the only solution that I can think of at the moment.

However, IIRIC, interrupted test is marked red, as the failed one (which, technically, is the same).

Can you describe your use case that requires to distinguish between interrupted and failed test?

    Hi AlexKaras 

     

    I automatically transfer test result in test management system by API when OnStopTest event is triggered.

    Currently when I interrupting Keyword test it continues to stay green. It is wrong information for test management system and I do not need to transfer it. Test will marked red only after OnStopTest event is ended. But after that is no way automatically transfer result to test management system.

      Hi,

       

      Hm... Well, I see...

       

      I never checked it, but if you don't mind:

      -- This  "The test execution was interrupted." message - is it of Error type?

      -- If it is, then I would expect it to trigger the OnLogError event;

      -- I would expect that this OnLogError event is triggered before the OnStopTest one.

      If all above expectations are correct, then you can utilize the OnLogError event to set a flag that the test is interrupted and use this flag in the OnStopTest event handler to make a decision of whether or not the test was interrupted. OnStartTest event can be used to reset the flag.

        Hi, AlexKaras 

         

        -- This "The test execution was interrupted." message - is it of Error type? - Yes it is.

        -- If it is, then I would expect it to trigger the OnLogError event; - I would expect it too, but OnLogError is not triggered by this message. Don't know why. Maybe it works asynchronous.

        -- I would expect that this OnLogError event is triggered before the OnStopTest one. - Often message appears after OnStopTest event is finished.

        If all above expectations are correct, then you can utilize the OnLogError event to set a flag that the test is interrupted and use this flag in the OnStopTest event handler to make a decision of whether or not the test was interrupted. OnStartTest event can be used to reset the flag. - Unfortunately, this does not work.
