Writing log messages of test to the file
Hi,
When TestComplete is being used, We try to write log messages which are come out of the "Log. Message()" or "Log.Error()" function to a text file in order to keep the log messages together as a log.txt. However, after creating a file, we try to use "Log.File()" function or "SaveResultsAs()" to write logs messages to this file, It just created the file, could not write anything. Is there any way to keep log messages that are written in the test script in the txt file in a given directory?
as an example code;
function creatingAndWritingLogMessagesToTheTxtFile(){
//create a file
var filePath="C:\\.....";//Directory
aqFile.Create(filePath);
var logName="filePath"+".mth";
Log.SaveResultsAs(logName,lsMHT);
}
And in the functions how we can write the log messages to this created file that is created to keep log messages?
as an example code;
function testA(){
//....codes doing something
Log. Messages("Test Successful");
//Here How can we use that method (If it is useful) to write this log to that text file??
}
the log.error and log.message operations will only output the corresponding messages to the log files that testcomplete generates. as I'm sure you've observed, within the test logs within the corresponding test step location, you should see those messages populate.
if you wanted to store your test logs in a separate location, you could use log.saveresultas to output the testcomplete logs to a target directory in a supported format (html, mht, and xml), but this wouldn't be a text file.
-----------
if we wanted to generate a text file each time a test run fails or passes, you would most likely use the aqfile.writetotextfile operation (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqfile/writetotextfile.html) based on either conditional statements or event handlers
