Return False from a KeywordTest on any Error
Hi all,
I'm on a mission to make my tests run endto end without stopping because there was one failure.
I know you can configure TC to continue/stop on error, but what I'm trying to achei...

Honestly... depends a lot on what kind of error... sure, it logs an error... but is it an object recognition error? Is it a checkpoint that fails that a value is incorrect? There are any number of things that can log an error....
...what you need to do is get more DELIBERATE in logging errors and trapping such things if you really want to make it bullet proof. And that just gets stupid after a while. You need to do SOME of this, but for the "unexpected" stuff, you'll need to trap in an event.
Rather than just simply returning "false", what I would do is have that event handler set a global variable... something like "current test status" to "false" if the test is failing.... then, at the end of the test, in like a finally block, check that value and act accordingly.
Hi,
In addition to what was suggested by Robert, you may consider structuring your tests as a tree of Test Items, set their behavior using the On Error property of Test Item and, in addition, consider the use of Runner.Stop(true).
