check aqPerfomance

[kaivi]

Hi,

is there any way to check if the aqPerfomance method is already running?

The methods of the aqPerformance object aren't actually "running" per say... they are more markers that store values.  You "Start" a counter which logs a time stamp... then you "Check" the counter against the current time... or you get the "Value" of a counter...  So, it's not exactly "running" per se.

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi Kai,

No way if I got your question right. But you may suppress warning in the log with the help of the WarnIfExist parameter.

Hi,

thank you both for your answer. I have added the OnLogError feature to our tests. So every error is recorded here. Normally I start the aqPerfomance Default at the beginning of a keyword test and when the keyword test generates an error, it jumps to the OnLogError and stops, checks and evaluates the aqPerfomance. But if I start a selected operation in the middle of a keyword test just to check if e.g. a change is correct, it jumps to OnLogError if an error occurs and starts another error because the aqPermonce is not started yet. This is a recursive call from OnLogError that is stopped by TestComplete. The motivation behind this is to write the aqPErfomance value to a DB.

I hope you know what im trying to do.

For now, I think I'll try it with "try" and "catch" of an exception. Or with the WarnIfExists I didn't know about it before, so I investigate it.

regards

Kai

Hi,

A possible way to prevent this is to introduce a global or Project variable (I think that the latter is better) and use it as a flag. Like this:

-- Name the variable as, say, bInErrorHandler and set it to false by default;

-- The OnLogError function may look like this:

function OnLogError(...)
{
  if (bInErrorHandler)
    return;
  bInErrorHandler = true;

... // main handler's code

  bInErrorHandler = false;
}
