Reading Project Test Results - LogItems Readable in Iteration but not Recursion

I'm trying to read some data from my log results for tracking purposes. I have nearly full functionality - I can read data from the log results of individual keyword tests, but I can't get anything f...

    A solution to this literally came to me in a dream, and it actually works!

     

    There were a few basic syntax errors I should have caught just by looking at it, like not using the "var" keyword, and initializing an array incorrectly. I was also using the .concat() function to combine recursive results, but it clearly doesn't work the way I imagined it did. With that fixed, it does work a little better, but it's still not actually doing the thing I want it to do.

     

    Now for my dream. I awoke with a start at 2 am this morning and realized suddenly that I'd forgotten to search for log items in the recursion method! This also involves removing the log item iteration from the main method, but I intended on doing that anyway, so it's a bonus.

     

    Here's the corrected main code:

     

    // Exporting the log
    function GetLogResults()
    {
      if(Project.Logs.LogItemsCount > 0)
      {
        // Exporting the test log contents
        try
        {
          // note that iteration is only done after the recursive
          // search method is called and its array returned
          var arr = FindTestLog(Project.Logs);
          Log.Message("Logs found: " + arr.length);
          
          for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
          {
            Log.Message("Test Log " + i + "exists!",
                ChildRead(arr[i]));
          }
        }
        finally
        {
          Log.Message("Goodbye!");
        } 
      }
      else
        Log.Message("No logs for export."); 
    }

    And the fixed recursive function:

     

    function FindTestLog(Child)
    {
      var arr = [];
      var i, j;
      var name = "";
      
      if(Child.Scheme != null)
      {
        name = Child.Scheme.Name;
      }
    
      // adds object to array if its name == "Test Log"
      if(Child.Scheme != null && aqString.Compare(Child.Scheme.Name, "Test Log", false) == 0)
      {
        arr.push(Child);
      }
      // if not, search children/data/rows/etc. for more objects and re-call
      // concatenating any returned arrays
      else
      {
        for(i = 0; i < Child.ChildCount; i++)
        {
          res = FindTestLog(Child.Child(i));
          for(j = 0; j < res.length; j++)
          {
            arr.push(res[j]);
          }
        }
        for(i = 0; i < Child.DataCount; i++)
        {
          res = FindTestLog(Child.Data(i));
          for(j = 0; j < res.length; j++)
          {
            arr.push(res[j]);
          }
        }
        for(i = 0; i < Child.RowCount; i++)
        {
          res = FindTestLog(Child.Rows(i));
          for(j = 0; j < res.length; j++)
          {
            arr.push(res[j]);
          }
        }
        for(i = 0; i < Child.ChildRowCount; i++) 
        {
          res = FindTestLog(Child.ChildRow(i));
          for(j = 0; j < res.length; j++)
          {
            arr.push(res[j]);
          }
        }
        for(i = 0; i < Child.ColumnCount; i++)
        {
          res = FindTestLog(Child.ChildDataByIndex(i));
          for(j = 0; j < res.length; j++)
          {
            arr.push(res[j]);
          }
        }
        for(i = 0; i < Child.LogItemsCount; i++)
        {
          res = FindTestLog(Child.LogItem(i));
          for(j = 0; j < res.length; j++)
          {
            arr.push(res[j]);
          }
        }
      }
      return arr;
    }

    A few of those search cases are probably unnecessary, but I wanted to get it at least working as intended before I futzed with efficiency. 

     

    Anyway... Solved! No thanks to you lot! hehehe
