Hi,
I have created a script that writes out tests results to a SQL database. I have got a bit stuck on the last part however. I was hoping to use the general event of on log error to write out the messages to the table.
I can easily write messages to the log but how do I pull out the error messages that TestComplete writes to the log. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the OnLogError event handler, you have available the LogParams object for the "current" error message. That object has a MessageText and an AdditionalText property which contains the text that is written out in the TestComplete log. See https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/test-log/log-params/properties.html
So I could do something like this:
function GeneralEvents_OnLogError(Sender, LogParams)
{
TestComment = LogParams.AdditonalText
}
and it would return the error logged?
AdditionalText will return what you see in the "Additional Info" tab in the TestComplete log. MessageText will return the main text of the error message.
Hi TristanOgre,
Thank you for the help you have given. I am however still struggling to read the information from LogParams.AdditionalText and write it out elsewhere. Do you have an example you could share?
I think my other option would be to go down this path: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/test-log/logresults/textlogdata/text.html and pull the text out to a seperate file to use?
Many thanks,
MegO
Yep, Its just not returning anything :(
If there is no Additional Info on the log, AdditionalText will be empty. Hence why there are two different text values on LogParams. If you want the information in the main log, you want MessageText. If you want the information that shows in the Additional Info tab, you want AdditionalText. So, if your log message doesn't have any Additional Info (which is possible), AdditionalText will be empty.
