How to know from which test an error came from at runtime

Depending on whether you're catching exceptions anywhere in your call stack, 



arguments.caller.callee.toString()



may help.

It's null inside that function?

You can create your own library to log messages/errors. For example,



Create a script called 'Logger' and a function called ErrorMessage(strMsg, sourceOfError,Priority)

{



   if(!priority)

    priority = 100; //default value



  if(priority>300)

  {

    

  throw new error(666,sourceOfError + " says:" + strMsg);





  }





}





And from within your test 



function testMyTestase()

{



 try

 {

  //do something



   if (somethingDidnotwork)

    {

    Logger.Error("Oops, better luck next time", testMyTestase,3000)

    }

 catch(e)

 {

    Log.Error(e.description); //this will print  'testMyTestase says Oops, better luck next time'

     



  }

finally

 {

   //optional - incase you want to clean up



 }











}

If you're running the tests using TestComplete's test items for a project you could read in the current test using the following:



myTest = Split(Project.TestItems.Current.ElementToBeRun.Caption, " - ")(1)

Yes Nick, it's null.



If that worked would be awesome.

Eero, that kinda works, as long as I'm running the project, but if I'm running a test outside the project it doesn't work.



What I mean is, when I'm building the test, I'm running it all the time, and in that case it doesn't recognise the Project.TestItem...
