How can I export log files for project test items separately?

You need to make sure that the file name you present in the method has the extension.  It won't automatically add the extension.  So "Call Log.SaveResultsAs("C:\Users\whuang\Downloads\try.mht", lsMHT)"

For detecting if there is an error, Log.ErrCount (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/project-objects/test-log/log/errcount.html) gives you the count of error records written to the log.  So, just do a check if ErrCount > 0 for anything you want to do for errors.

Thanks @tristaanogre that's exactly what I wanted.

Hi @tristaanogre I just noticed Log.SaveResultsAs exports all the log files for entire project/test set. Is there any way I can export log files for each test item in a test set separately? Say I have a test project of 3 tests, after executing each test item, export the log file for that test item only, I don't need 3 copies of the first test item.

Check out the "scope" parameter.

Yes, I did used "lesCurrentTestItem" for the scope in the method, but it still gave me the log files for the entire test set. Here is what I did, I called Log.SaveResultsAs(FileName, lsMHT, True, lesCurrentTestItem) method at the very last step of every single of my test, and I have a test set that has list of tests. So when I ran the test set, it exported me a log file for the first test item when the execution for the first one is done, this is what I want - a log file for the current running test item. but when it finished executing the second test item, it exported me a log file that had both the first and the second test item, this is not what I need, I only want the log file for the second test item, I already had the log file for the first test item, I don't want it again.

If there is no TC buildin funtion to export log files for project test items separately, is there anyway I can automate the manual export work? like writing a bat file? Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!
