Read entries in browser console
Hopefully, a simple question.
If the developer has implemented something that logs to the browser console.
Is there a way that testComplete can get hold of the logged message?
I am no longer exploring this as an option 9writing and reading from logs.
Smartbear have come back to me offering a solution but it's a difficult one to implement, also we (dev and I) have chosen not to use the console to retrieve data.
the solution provided by smartbear should anyone need it is:
Regarding getting values from the browser console via TestComplete: I would recommend you try using the MSAA feature. To use the MSAA feature, please follow these steps:
1. Open your project in TestComplete.
2. Choose Tools -> Current Project Properties, then go to Open Applications -> MSAA.
3. Once there, check the "*" property checkbox.
4. Save the project and refresh the object browser.
After that, it becomes possible to get the values of the browser console fields.
