    Yes. I did.

    When I added the onStopTest event control the popup ask you to select a test. It adds a function to that test script.

    I added content.

    function EventControl1_OnStopTest(Sender)
    {
    let browser = Aliases.browser;
    browser.Close();
    }

     

    At project level when I run the item I select the event/mehod.

    What is the sender parameter should it be? I don't any parameters. I am using script mode.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Alex!

    I tried on my script with the event control it worked.  Just I don't know why it didn't work in project execution.

    Thanks for your help!

Hi Grace,

 

You may consider OnStopTest/OnStopTestCase events.

For the general description of TestComplete events see https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/handling-events/about.html, https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/handling-events/creating-handlers/for-testcomplete-events.html and related help articles.

 

P.S. I am not a fan of 'browser restart for every test' approach from unit/integration tests world to be used in the world of functional end-to-end tests, but this is off topic.

    Hi Alex

    Thanks for your replying.

    I have trouble to understand how to implement the event. I am using the script mode. 

     

    Let's say I added the EventControl1_OnStopTest(Sender) in one of my test.   

    1. How the sender variable being? Should I pass the wording in all my Log.Message?

    2. The purpose of closing the browsers on error is trying to put the next test in the same starting point.  I don't know what and when the errors occur, therefore I need to close the current browser so that my next run can continue. If the Event tie to the specific tests I am wondering how it serves my purpose.

      

    Thanks,

    Grace

      Hi Grace,

       

      > I have trouble to understand how to implement the event.

      Have you went through the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/handling-events/creating-handlers/for-testcomplete-events.html help article?

      Events handling is project-wide. Parameters provided to the handler routine are provided by TestComplete and are described in the help topic devoted to the given event (OnLogError, OnTestStart, ...)
