Testing with text files

Hi,

i was wondering if anyone has tried testing with log files. im creating a test that looks over text files and put a parameter if the logfile is less than or greater than the value put. this is the code i have so far but it keeps giving me an error with the script im making. Any thoughts or ideas on how i can make this happen?

 

import sys
import os
import aq
def read_text_file_and_test(file_path):
   try:
       with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
if __name__ == "__main__":
   if len(sys.argv) != 2:
       print("Usage: python test_script.py <path_to_text_file>")
       sys.exit(1)
   text_file_path = sys.argv[1]
   if not os.path.isfile(text_file_path):
       print("The provided file does not exist.")
       sys.exit(1)
   read_text_file_and_test(text_file_path)

    How do you test with log files? Log files are usually referred to test results when automation is completed.

     

    I don't understand what your code is supposed to do?

     

    "if the logfile is less than or greater than the value put" - what does this mean?

      i created a powershell script to log the time it takes to load the applications. for example: when user logs in, the biostime came out to be 15.756 seconds in the logged txt file. in testcomplete, i want the test to read the number in the file and create an if/else statement like: if bioslog is greater than 3 seconds fail, if less than pass.

    In TestComplete, you can also count the time it takes to load the application.

     

    What is the content of the text file? What is the time format?
