Test progress

Post by Tstr » Mon Mar 02, 2015 9:06 am

How can I determine the total number of activities that will be handled by
ActivityStack.Instance.BeginActivity
*before* (or while) the TestSuite is executed?

Background:
I want to implement a progress indicator that does not rely on the number of test cases (TestCaseActivity) but on a more fine granular classification.
Please, let me know, if there is any other (better) method achiveving this.

Hello,

I don't know what exactly you want to do, but you can try the following method.
Ranorex.Core.Reporting.ActivityStack.Instance.VisitAll()
An example can also be found in the following forum post:

Please note that this is an not official documented method which can be changed in future versions.

Bernhard

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, your suggested method does not work for me.


My progress indicator should show something like:
Progress: <activities_begun> / <total_activities>

I intend to increment activities_begun in the BeginActivity event handler.

Given the KeePassTestSuite setup shown in the attached picture, BeginActivity is fired 26 times.

Ideally, total_activites is equal to activities_begun at the end of the testrun :-)

How can I get this number beforehand?

Hello Tstr,

That's correct, the problem is that the total count of the activities is not available at the beginning.
I am not sure why this is necessary for your test, but I am afraid that this would require a lot of internal API methods which cannot be posted into the forum.
Maybe it is better to search for another approach. You could, for example iterate through the test suite XML file in order to get the needed information.

Bernhard
