Test execution pauses during nightly runs when exception occurs

Hi Sumedha,



First of all, I recommend that you disable the "stop on error" option to prevent TestComplete from stopping test execution when an error occurs (see the Stopping Tests on Errors and Exceptions help topic for more information). After that, you'll be able to stop the current test item's execution via implementing an event handler for the OnLogError event and handling the specific error message. If an error message which is going to be posted to the test log contains a specific string (e.g. "object not found"), you'll need to call the Runner.Stop method and pass true as the method's argument.

Hi Allen,



I have an example script code below:

page1 = iexplore.Page("http://" + servername + ":" + port + "/" + r2wcontext + "/" + "pageMartViewer.do*");

if (page1.document.all.Item("infoMessageDiv").outerText == "The document has no annotations. ")

   Log.Message("The annotation is deleted correctly by the user having manage annotations permissions","",pmNormal,Attr)

else

   Log.Error("There is some error in creating the annotation","",pmNormal,Attr);



I have also attached the error log screenshot. So when it does not find the page object "page1",it continues on error but the execution ends at the line where if loops starts and the corresponding error line in log says "Exception", I have both the options disabled "Stop on error" and "Error Dialog". So why does it stops at the loop saying exception in log ? If the options are disabled,it should continue to run the script .. It should take any exception as 'EXCEPTION' whether it is a loop code or anything else .



Thanks,

Sumedha

Hi Sumedha,



"Object not found" errors are critical errors which must not be a normal part of your test execution. It looks like you just need to check whether the item in question exists before checking the item's text. Please see the Checking Whether an Object Exists help topic for more information.

Hello Sumedha and Allan,



I have the similar issue:



Story:

    I have a test senerio where I input the data file to process and check whether it passes or failed for particular file input execution.

    So, function look like: 



function main()

{

    //function call to get all files.



    foreach(file in files)

    {   

        function test(file)

            {

                  //Do processing.                  

            }    

    }

}



Problem:

    Now, for any particular instance, my test execution fails. I want my test should continue execution for next files input, indepedent of error occured in any particular itteration. Please guide, how to do that.



Note:

I have already handled the exceptions by try, catch block. I have already defined LogOnError event handler and runner.stop(true), but since it terminate my whole test execution.

Hi Rajender,





What is the text of the error message you get? Can it be catched via try..catch?
