Rename name of log shown in TestComplete

Hi all,



Is there any way to manipulate (outside TestComplete) the name of the log file shown when I attach them to TestComplete?



The setup is like this

- Tests are run in TestExecute of some VM

- I attach them to my local TestComplete to analyze the results

- the name is like this: %TestSuiteName %Date %Time



As far as I know it currently is not possible to rename this through scripts in TestComplete.

Is there any way to manipulate this outside TestComplete (by changing strings/values in some (xml-)files or something similar)?

I know, that I manually can rename them in TestComplete, that is not what I need.



I'd like to have them named: %TestedVersion %NumberOfBugs %TestType (or something like that)



Best regards,

Joachim

    Hi Tanya.



    thank you, I did not find this when I checked!



    There are 2 entries in Description.tcLog that change the name of the log file:

    1) <Prp name="start time" type="D" value="41972.6141027083"/>

    2) <Prp name="root logdata name" type="S" value="Version: master.1244 (123 errors)"/>



    I already changed the second one but the first one cannot really be manipulated as far as I see. The float value is converted to a datetime value by TestComplete so the best I could do is clear the decimals. That results in just a date-value. At least this is shorter than date+time.



    Best regards,

    Joachim
