Adding Variable Value to Custom Report Template

[Fergal]

My test suite has a Test Case, that gets the version number of the SUT and assigns it to a variable called versionNumber.

The code below adds the name of the Windows logged in user to the Custom Report:

Code: Select all

<xsl:value-of select="@user" />

What code can be added to the custom report, to add the value of the versionNumber variable?

Thanks!

Hey Fergal,

You would need to add a custom property to the activity stack:

var act =  Ranorex.Core.Reporting.ActivityStack.Instance;
           act.CurrentActivity.CustomProperties.Add("MyProperty", "MyValue");

That property can then be addressed within your XSL file:

<xsl:value-of select=".//custom/@MyProperty"/>

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Robin

Hi RobinHood42, thanks very much for your helpful reply.

...You would need to add a custom property to the activity stack...

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with how to do that. Where can I get more info on that?

Thanks again.

Hi Fergal,

I'm afraid that there is no further information available

Just use the aforementioned code within a recording module for example. That custom property will then be logged to the report:

Report.data file:

Modify your XSL file to display the info within the header of the report:

Which will finally look like the following, within the Rx report:

Hope that helps.
