Is there a way to return the name of the current sub routine or function?

[adrian_g]

Hi All,



Is there a way to return the name of the current sub routine or function that is being run. It would be nice to enter into the log.



I am currently coding in VB Script.



I assume there is no way to do it using VB script but is there a TestComplete inbuilt function?



Thanks  heaps,

Adrian

I'd like it in keyword tests too please.

Another vote please, so we can do this in keyword tests.

Hi guys,



a System function for the Routine Name would be nice. We'd also Need a System function for the module Name, of course.



I'd also add my vote.



So far, You could use code templates for vbs modules and routines, which contain predefined constants for the element names, e.g. for a module:



Option Explicit

' ModulKommentar

Const mcModul = "Modulname."



or for a Routine

Function |( _

Par1, _

Par2 _

)

' KommentarFunktion

Const cRoutine = "NameFunktion"

Dim Ergebnis

  

   NameFunktion = Ergebnis

End Function



As a result, I can use the names in the log, e.g.

 

Log.Checkpoint "Tabelle Abbruch abgebrochen", mcModul & cRoutine

Regards,



Manfred

I am also trying to figure out a way to know the current script name. We are launching TestExecute with Bamboo using command line. I think we can use 

BuiltIn.ParamStr

For JavaScript, I found the following workaround. Maybe it will help others.

I create a try-catch block. Within the try I provoke an exception, this one I catch-up with the catch and read-out the function name in the stack.

Note: this also works across several units -> USEUNIT

function getCaller(){
  let arrStackLines = [];

  try{
    throw new Error("throw a error to get the stack");
  }catch(objE){
    arrStackLines = objE.stack.split("\n");
  }
  let strLine = arrStackLines[arrStackLines.length -1];
  let intStart = strLine.indexOf("at ") + 3;
  let intEnd = strLine.indexOf("(<");
  Log.Message(strLine.substring(intStart, intEnd));
}

Btw. please add my vote..:-)
