Logs(Log File) : General Questions

[Praveen597]

Logs are very important for tracking the defects. We can know exactly where the code is failing to do our defined task.
Do we have any predefined methods for maintaining a log for all the actions done through code.
Or else, we manually need to write our own cod for logs.?

Any information on this is very helpful.

Thank you,
Praveen

See the Report class....

Here is a wee example, I use the .net StackTrace class so it outputs the class/method name too...

You can also do Report.Success(), Report.Failure(), Report.Warn(), Report.Debug etc...

Report.Setup(ReportLevel.Info, currentTestReportName, true);

LogInfo("information!!!");

Report.End();


public static void LogInfo(string info)
{
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
string location = stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().DeclaringType.Name + "::" + stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name ;
Report.Info(location, info);
}

Hi Sdaly ,
It is working fine with;

System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace();

Thank alot buddy. It completely my mistake to over look the code . Sorry for that.
And keep helping me..........!!

You could also bring that namespace into scope by adding -

Code: Select all

using System.Diagnostics
