Actually, what I meant was using try/catch/finally in the keyword tests themselves. Build into the tests exception handling and such that they can cleanly exit out when desired so that your script code can continue.
Within the Keyword test, there is a "Stop Execution" operation that you can add in to halt the execution of the keyword test. I'm assuming that you want to have a condition in the keyword test that, if the condition fails, that you halt the execution. I'd use that "Stop Execution" operation for that.
That gives the same functionality as if Runner.Stop were called in my error event script, which isn't what I'm needing.
I'm calling multiple keyword tests to run via a script, and I'm trying to think of a way to write it out so that if an error occurs during the execution of a keyword test, it stops trying to run the keyword test and then continues on to the next line of code in the script.
Being able to simply put in my code something like "KeywordTests.TestName.Stop" would be simplest way to go about it, but that isn't valid code. (At least not for VBscript)
You are correct, I just tried it. The "true" parameter for stopping a current test item stops because running the script is a "test item".
OK, there is something else to look at as well.
Go to Tools | Current Project Properties | Playback and check what the setting is for "On error" in the Error Handling section.
Additionally, something to try is to use exception handling in your keyword test to control the halting of the test. Use "try/catch/finally" to control test control flow.
Yeah that setting is set to False (most of those are). I'm currently in TestComplete 12.
Are Try/Catch/Finally valid operators in VBscript? I was under the impression that they were not. Although that would probably be the easiest option to catch the error if I could just do
Try
KeywordTests.TestName.Run
Catch
<error handling>
But I was under the impression that those were not valid operations for VBscript.
Or are you talking about enclosing the actions of the keyword test itself in a Try/Catch using the TestComplete Methods?
