Is there any way to re-generate the files Description.tcLog and RootLogData.dat?

Hello,



Test Complete crashed in the middle of the night and I ended up with a bunch of file in a log folder, but without the important Description.tcLog and RootLogData.dat. I need to access those logs, is there any way to open them with Test Complete?




Thank you



Note: I use version 7.51

    Hello Jeff,





    You can try to open the log of the failed test in the following way:

    1. Create a dummy procedure and run it to generate an empty log. 

    2. Open the newly created Log folder. It will contain a file named like this: '{22EE1702-65F4-4E21-8C1B-4BA86B6AE307}'. Find the log file with the name of the same format in the log of the failed test. Rename it to the name of the newly created log file ( '{22EE1702-65F4-4E21-8C1B-4BA86B6AE307}' in my sample) and replace the new log file with it. 

    3. Copy remaining log files of the failed test to the new log folder. 

    4. Reopen the project in TestComplete.

    I also recommend that you specify the "Save log every <...> minutes" project option (Tools | Default Project Properties | Playback) to make TestComplete save log results automatically as often as you need.
