How can I assert if a value is equal to another

[clausbraatz]

How can I assert that a value is equals to another?. What I am tryin to do is assert if a value is true, or maybe assert if a string is equals to another, but not using UI object properties. Is there any checkpoint or something like that to work with own variables?

Log.Checkpoint. So



If sString1 = sString1 then

    Log.Checkpoint "The strings are equal","" ,,,Sys.Desktop.Picture()

end if



Is that what you meant?

This is javascript but I'm sure you can do the equivalent....





   CheckEquals( displayeRetailerId, expectedRetailerID, "retailerID" );



function CheckEquals(aValue1, aValue2, aDescription) {

 

// Log.Message ("one: "+aValue1 + " two: "+ aValue2);



 if (aValue1 != aValue2) {

    Log.Error(aDescription + " '" + aValue1 + "' does NOT match value '" + aValue2+"'");

    Log.Message("string 1 in additional info.", aValue1);

  }

  else {

    Log.Checkpoint(aDescription + " '" + aValue1 + " matches value '"+ aValue2+ "'");

  }



}

Where to write this code?

Also in my desktop application, the error message is displayed in a tooltip when I hover over an exclamation mark icon.

I need to read that tooltip message and then log to an external file that the test has passed

How to do this?

You're asking a lot of information in a simple question, @mcp111. 🙂  

So... to start with, the code is written in a Script unit.  Read the following for writing script tests in TestComplete.

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/scripting/overview.html

As for the tooltip, I would use Object Spy to determine how the tool tip shows up.  Sometimes the tooltip is its own object...  sometimes it's a property of the object that has the tool tip assigned.  So, you will need to first need to determine where the tool tip is.  From that point, it's either code a HoverMouse action over the exclamation mark icon and do a property checkpoint on the tool tip object... OR, do a property checkpoint on the exclamation mark icon for the tool-tip property...

I need to do everything in TestComplete itself.

How would I access tooltip text in TestComplete?

How to log a message that the test passed to an external log file?

And my answer all involves TestComplete. Script units are part of TestComplete. so, if you want to write that code, you need to write script code in a script unit and then use "Run Script Routine" operation in your keyword test to execute. Object Spy is part of TestComplete. Property checkpoints are part of TestComplete.

So... I'm not sure what you're looking for.

ok

When I googled Object Spy it showed QTP Object Spy so that's why I was confused.

When I looked in more detail I found that there was also a Testcomplete object spy.

I think I got what I need.

Thanks

Rather than a simple google search, start with 

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/

That's ALL the TestComplete documentation in one place.  It's searchable... and it mirrors the Help that's built into the TestComplete tool... it also has built in tutorials, code examples, etc.

When I do a property checkpoint on the exclamation mark, I don't see any tooltip property. So how to compare the tooltip text?

And if the text is correct then how to log that the text has passed?
