    the option seems not to be accessible via script.

    What I tried to is:

    - copy the current log file to .mht, if test is run via TestExecute, and

    - limit the number of .mht log files automatically, as TC limits the number of original logs.

    If you want to limit the number of MHT files, you can create a script that will do the following:

     

    1) check the number of MHT files in a folder where you store test logs. You can do this via 

    aqFileSystem.GetFolderInfo(<Path>)Files.Count

     

    2) if the number of files is good for you (for example, less than 10), export the test log via

    Log.SaveResultsAs

     

    3) if the number of files isn't good, do some actions with the old MHT files (delete them or move to another folder)

     

    Does this approach work for you?

      Hi Manfred,

       

      What I do is a "mobile supress" of some of my files in some folders.

      I built a generic method that takes in input :

      - a path

      - a file extension

      - a duration (in days)

       

      I call this method every day in several places

      It loops in the folder, and delete every file that matches the extension and that have its last file modification that exceeds the duration that is precised.

       

      you just have to call such function at every time you run your script.
