I am also trying to figure out a way to know the current script name. We are launching TestExecute with Bamboo using command line. I think we can use

    For JavaScript, I found the following workaround. Maybe it will help others.

    I create a try-catch block. Within the try I provoke an exception, this one I catch-up with the catch and read-out the function name in the stack.

     

    Note: this also works across several units -> USEUNIT

    function getCaller(){
  let arrStackLines = [];

  try{
    throw new Error("throw a error to get the stack");
  }catch(objE){
    arrStackLines = objE.stack.split("\n");
  }
  let strLine = arrStackLines[arrStackLines.length -1];
  let intStart = strLine.indexOf("at ") + 3;
  let intEnd = strLine.indexOf("(<");
  Log.Message(strLine.substring(intStart, intEnd));
}

     

    Btw. please add my vote..:-)

     

    Best regards
