Testcomplete + Access the Testlog contents by script if there is error in each projectItems

Has any one access the TestLog contents through the script ? Goal is After we finished runing the projects which contain 4-5 projectItems and check if each projectItem has errors we want to export ...

The best way to do this on a TestItem level is to implement the "OnLogError" event and in that event use the Builtin.SendMail() funtion in order for you to send an email as soon as an error occurs in a TestItem without even waiting for the entire test to complete.

Thanks for the updates

 

This is what I am doing. invoking onlogerror when there is error in testItem. Then in onStpTest Events trigger the email . But which testlog we have to attach ?

    in the event itself, you can figure out which TestItem caused the event to happen

    Log.Message(Project.TestItems.Current.Name);

      Thanks for the updates . Yes we can use Log.Message(Project.TestItems.Current.Name);

      to retrive the current TestItem. But how can we get the Test log for this current TestItem ?

        You can’t
        That is not how Test Logs work in TestComplete. They happen at the end of the entire test and there is no way to log only a specific test item result
        You can use Log.SaveResultAs(...) on a specific function but that will report all previous tests as well before the call was issued
        In conclusion, you can’t do what you are looking for unless you implement events and create your own report file away from the built in Test Log in TestComplete

        Might be a good suggestion for future releases

        Cheers
