Hi Jainsoumya!
No action is taking place, because there is no action to perform in the code sample.
In the small sample above, TestComplete is simply opening and closing the sheet in the background.
Since there is no other action, such a Log event to post results, nothing is being returned.
Is there another action further down in your code that is not working? If you are only running the snippet provided, then no results in your logs is going to be the expected result.
npaisley so what is the code to open the required excel file ?
You have the correct code to open the file but what npaisley is saying is the open does not count as an action for TestComplete so it does not log it. The file has been opened in the background and nothing is visible. Same for the sheet reference. You set it to a variable but this is not a logged action.
Try doing something next like getting a value from the sheet and putting it in a log message. That will show an action.
Marsha_R I tried doing like getting a value of row or column but then also excel file didnt get open
function ReadDataFromExcel()
{
let Excel = getActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
Excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\\Users\\Public\\TestInput\\ChartInput.xlsx");let RowCount = Excel.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count;
let ColumnCount = Excel.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count;for (let i = 1; i <= RowCount; i++)
{
let s = "";
for (let j = 1; j <= ColumnCount; j++)
s += (VarToString(Excel.Cells.Item(i, j)) + "\r\n");
Log.Message("Row: " + i, s);
}}
Try this. Do you get the message in your log?
var excelFile = Excel.Open("C:\\Users\\Public\\TestInput\\ChartInput.xlsx");
log.message("This is my excel test message.")
var excelSheet = excelFile.SheetByTitle("Sheet1");
