Aqtime is not generating results when the host application ends

Hi,
I am using AQ Time to generate a light code coverage report for the modules I have added. I'm profiling dlls and I have added the host application to load these dlls.

When I start my aqt project, it starts the application and profiling happens. But when the profiling ends or when the application is closed, results are not getting generated. 

If I manually click the "Get Results" button then the results are populated in the report panel.

 

My understanding is when profiling, results are generated when the host application exits.

I have gone through the AQtime Troubleshooter but with no results.

Please help.

Thanks in advance!!!

 

Regards,

Abe

    Hi Abe,

     

    Considering that "After the profiling run is over, AQtime displays detailed information about profiling results." (https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/54511/) I think that your expectation is correct.

    I would suggest to try Troubleshooter first (https://support.smartbear.com/about-troubleshooter/) and contact Support via https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=AQtime form referencing this thread if Troubleshooter does not help.

    I will appreciate if you update this thread with the result...

      Hi,

       

      I contacted support by raising a customer care ticket and got a solution which worked for me to get the results automatically when the profiled application closed.

       

      This is why results weren't generating in the first place:

       

      AQtime doesn't generate profiling results if your application crashes or terminates with a non-zero exit code. In this case, the application is not finalized correctly, so AQtime cannot collect profiling results properly.

      However, AQtime has a mechanism to overcome the situation.

       

      And below is the solution suggested:

       

      Complete the following two steps: 

      1) Download and install the latest version of the tool. You can download AQtime 8.60 from AQtime's product page after you log in to the website using your registration information: https://my.smartbear.com/

      2) Enable the Get results at early finalization phase option in the General Preferences dialog (Options | Options... | General | General Preferences) of AQtime.

      I have AQtime 8.40 installed and I did the 2nd option. By doing this results were generated automatically.

       

      Thank you for the support.

       

      Regards,

      Abe

        Hi Abe,

         

        Thank you a lot for the update!

        (Need to go through documentation one more time to refresh my memory - 2nd option should definitely be described there...)
