Force test case to fail

[stefanb]

Hi

I have the following set up for my test report:

TestReport.Setup(ReportLevel.Debug, "MyReport.rxlog", true);
TestReport.BeginTestSuite("My TestSuit");
TestReport.BeginTestCase("My TestCase");
TestReport.BeginTestModule("My Test Module");
...
Report.Screenshot(ReportLevel.Failure, "", "No element found", UI_MainFrame, false);
throw new Ranorex.ElementNotFoundException("No element found", null);
...
TestReport.EndTestModule();
TestReport.EndTestCase();
TestReport.SaveReport();

When I look at my report I get the screenshot with a failure, however the test case still passes. How can I make the test case fail? I tried to follow your instructions here http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-gui ... mples.html and throw an exception but it does not seems to work.

I use a Ranorex .Net Runtime Version 4.0.30319.18034 trial.
I have Windows 7 Proffesional with ServicePack 1 and .Net 4.5

Hi,

In order to force the test case to fail, you have to use "Report.Failure("YourMessage")".
Throwing an exception would work if you would work with Ranorex Studio, if you are just using the Ranorex API you also have to take care about the exception handling.
