View Logs Outside of TC

http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55128/

Take a look at the Exporting Results From Tests section.  You can output the results to an .mht file from your test and that's viewable in IE.  

There are hundreds of log files and they can only be dowloaded one at a time... and the must be named individually.

. This is far too tedious.

Really?  We have the name and the path built into the test so the log goes where we want it and has a user friendly name.  It can be viewed in IE if necessary or ignored forever (which is usually the case lol).  

Where is the tedious part for you?

Moving the logs to another directory so they are not included in the backup. Whether exporting or detaching (remove without deleting) and attaching (existing files) the task can only be done one log at a time. Is there an option to set a log directory not under the project directory?

You build your own filepath for the exported logs.  The examples are for the project path, but it will work for any path as long as each test machine can reach it.

Sure.  Happy Friday!

Do you have any sample code which creates the concatinated file format to match the Test Complete naming convention: 3_15_2015_4_45 PM_04_25.mht?

function SaveLogResults(){
    // ...
    // Specifies the path to the file that will contain 
    // the test results in the MHT format
    var FileName = "C:\\Users\\svcmrtprdaccpt\\Documents\\TestComplete 10 Projects\\CMWeb Logs\\MyResults.mht";
    
    var result = Log.SaveResultsAs(FileName, lsMHT);
}

Do you have any dark chocolate?

Absolutely. I'm almost there myself

var f = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Today(), "%y_%m_%d");
