We have multiple TestItems i.e. scripts in one project. When we run the whole project all these scripts will run one by one . Now we have some issues - for e.g. we have 4 scripts in one project 1. If first script fails then how can we stop the first script form further running as soon as failure occurs. Testcomplete should pick up the second script . If the second script fails then Testcomplete should stop the second script and pick up the 3rd script and so the 4th script . I am not able to figure out how can we can achieve this. We are using javascript based scrip in the testComplete. Summary is if the script failed or has some errors then it should stop as soon as failure occurs but it should not stop the other scripts which are in line. Let me know if you need additional information ThanksNG

As a side note and mostly as a feature request for Support: > This option has three settings: None, Test Item, Project. Where 'Test Item' effectively means: 'stop processing current Test Item and all child ones and continue from the next sibling'. From the usability point of view it would be extremely great to get one more option with the functionality like this: 'in case of error, stop processing this and all child Test Items, move up one level and continue processing from there'.

Hi, Project event is global for the whole project and only one handler's routine is required. It is irrelevant what script unit contains this routine.

Hi, You can use Runner.Stop(true) in-order to stop the current test item execution. In a basic way, You can add this code into your OnLogError, then it will stop the current test item. Reference: For adding event handler - https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/handling-events/creating-handlers/for-testcomplete-events.html Using Runner method - http://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/items/script/runner/stop.html Related topics that might help you https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Is-it-possible-to-skip-a-test-step-during-test-playback-in/m-p/124015#M22969 https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/Skipping-test-item-execution/m-p/63763#M4484

Additionally, if you have you scripts set up that each of them is a TestItem in the project, there's an option in the test items for "Stop on Error" This option has three settings: None, Test Item, Project. If set to Test Item, if an error happens within that test item, it will only stop that Test Item. The next test item in your project will run accordingly then.

Look like here we are missing one more step Under the project properties - Playback - the following checkboxes need to be unchecked. Then only selecting TestItems Under Stop on Error at TestItem level will works. Stop on Error Stop on Warning Stop on Window recognition error Error dialog. ThanksNG

  This option has three settings: None, Test Item, Project. If set to Test Item, if an error happens within that test item, it will only stop that Test Item. The next test item in your project will run accordingly then.

  Here what I have done
  
  The first screenshot shows that event handler get created.
  
  The second screenshot that the functions associated with the events get created .
  
  My main concern is that - should we need to create the functions in other scripts also under the same projects .I mean just copy those functions to other scripts as well.
  
  Please update
  
  Thanks
