Validation without writing to the log

[Mayra]

I am not finding a way to check if an element exists without writing a failure to the log.

If something exists in my UI, I delete it, if not I dont. By no means it is a failure/error if that item exists or
not.
I can only see using Validate.Exists, which writes the result to the log, is there other method that I can use?
I basically need a boolean returned and depending on the result I go ahead and delete the item.

Thanks.

ok, I found it: <RepoItemInfo>.exists(); however, how can I modify the Duration search time out, like the way it is done in ValidateExists()?

You would need to change the item (and all of its parent's if you really want to shorten it) "SearchTimeout" property.

Code: Select all

Duration oldDuration = myElementInfo.SearchTimeout;

myElementInfo.SearchTimeout = new Duration(<new time in ms>);

if (myElementInfo.Exists()) {
  <do your stuff here>
}

myElementInfo.SearchTimeout = oldDuration;
