Test that generate Test?

So you want to run Test 1 over and over again with new sets of parameters each time that you are getting from your file?

Yes and I want all the cases to run even if I have some failures.  But I want a "stop on error" for each Test1

Well, I tried using a Stop Execution with the Stop current test only box checked in Test 1, but that turned out to stop Test 2, which is not what you want.



I searched the forums and found a few posts about Event Handlers, but I've never done those and  I hesitate to recommend any of the solutions without having tried it myself.



Hopefully someone else will jump in with an answer!

Hello i too have faced same scenario.u can do it by using call object method



See my post and answer in following thread

Thanks Murugan for the link.  But I'm not sure it can solve my problem.



Even with CallMethod, if there's an error, all the execution stop.



I need something like this:



TestItem:



params = GetParameters()

foreach (param in params)

    KeywordTests[TestName].Run(param.X, param.Y, param.Z)



I need the log for all the run even the one that fail.





At the moment, the only solution is to generate a temporary TestComplete project with all the TestItems I need

If you are repeating the same test but passing in different values each time did you consider doing a data driven test? ...

You don't really need to move onto the next test you just need to repeat the same one but with different inputs.

Put your data driven test in a loop and add some logging at the end of each test so that when you look at the test logs you can differentiate the results for each iteration of the test.

Once you have your data driven test working then look at adding some code to handle errors. I think your were on the right track with event handlers but you might be able to do your error handling inside your test. Ie. check some condition, if an error occurs then read in next line of data and start test again. You'll probably also need some code to get your UI back to it's initial state.

I checked DDT, but it doesn't work with the test I want to repeat.  It's a test with lot of custom operation and I need the parsing of the parameters.

Can you give us a specific example of your test?  I don't think we're understanding what you want to do.

I'm suprised data driven test wont help. I use data driven test in its scripting form and do pretty complex stuff. You did say in an earlier reply that you are repeating the same test mutiple times and passing in different values each time. 



Perhaps I am misunderstanding and there are limitations on how you can configure a keyword DDT. I'm using scripting, not keyword tests.

I have parameters in my keyword test DDTs and that's what I thought would work.  Finding out more details on the tests needed would really help here.
