Validate.Attribute questions

[slavikf]

I have following code:

Code: Select all

			Validate.Attribute(repo.FormWinstn.TextFailed_to_load_images__sInfo, 
			                   "Text", 
			                   "B&W and color images can't be montaged.",
			                   "TC315: Validating, that correct error message appears.",
			                  false);

I expect this method to PASS or FAIL.
However in my results i see warning:

2011/03/17 16:56:01.919 WARN Validation TC315: Validating, that correct error message appears.

Why it is Warning and not PASS/FAIL?

Hello,

actions which lead to exceptions are failures else it is a warning.
Thus an action that has been marked "Continue on Fail" will have a try{}catch{} around its code.
The Validate.Attribute() function has a overload where the last boolean parameter is "exceptionOnFail" and if that is false there won't be an exception. So that's why you get a warning.

Well, then it's something new in Ranorex 3.0.
Because in Ranorex 2.3.8 i saw "FAIL" in my report.

And i do not like it. Is there a way to return to previous functionality?

Hi,

If you want to setup the old report format. Please use following method Setup, to initialize the "Legacy" Report method.

Does the TestReport class 'replace' the Report class?

If you want to setup the old report format. Please use following method Setup, to initialize the "Legacy" Report method.

I did it.
And no, it didn't help. Every time when validation fail and i have FALSE for "exceptionOnFail" i do not get FAILURE in my LOG! - same as with default Ranorex 3.0-style reports.

Now, explain to me, how i can get FAIL entry in LOG and not stop script execution?! I see only way to do it - is to use Report.Failure, which mean i have to change code and manually verify result of EVERY Validate method and add Report.Failure, so i'll have WARN and FAIL entry in LOG. What a mess!

Validate should create FAILURE method in LOG if it failed and continue if "exceptionOnFail" is FALSE, as it was doing in Ranorex 2.x...

Hi,

to setup the old reporting from 2.x you have to add a Test Case as first entry of your Test Suite which holds a Code Module with code looking as followed:

Report.Setup(ReportLevel.Always, "Test.rxlog", false, false);

After that you have to disable the new Reporting by editing the Test Suites Properties:
In General Tab you have

• to remove the Report Files name and
• to set the Auto Save Interval to 0

This procedure will be simplified in one of our next releases, but you can use this workaround for now.

Kind regards,

This is actually a bug in the 3.0.0 release and will be fixed with the upcoming service release. So from then on all Validate methods will either report "Success" or "Failure".

Additionally, reporting a "Failure" will also set the result of the test module to failed.

Any estimates, when next build will be available?

Hi,

The service release should be available next week. We are currently in the middle of testing phase and we fix the last issues.
