How to run code in OnStopTestCase section while executing the test from Keyword/Script test area?

Hi,

 

I am trying to do some stuff at the end of my text execution, and writing that piece of code in OnStopTestCase event handler.

But I noticed that this section is executed only when I am running my test from TestItems tab of my project.

 

If I want to run my test from keyword tests or script tests, the control doesn't go to OnStopTestCase section.  Do I need to do any setting for this to work? Can someone help?

 

Thanks,

Pankhuri

    The Event Handler should not be going anywhere in future releases of TestComplete.

      Thank you Alex for replying. 

      So, for testing this event handler, do I always have to run my test from TestItems section?

      For OnStopTest handler, we have a similar description but I am able to execute the code for this handler even if I run the test from Keyword/Script section.

       

      Not sure if I am making sense, I am just wondering why it works for OnStopTest and not for OnStopTestCase.

       

      Thanks,

      Pankhuri

        Hi,

         

        > why it works for OnStopTest and not for OnStopTestCase.

        Because not every test is test case.

        Test is, actually, any code that has been executed either as a Test Item or just as a function.

        Test case is the code that either is marked as test case in the Execution Plan tree or is surrounded by the aqTestCase.Start/Stop calls.

        Read documentation for OnStopTest and OnStopTestCase for details to understand the difference between them.
