Adding and Deleting Log Files

Applies to LoadComplete 4.97, last modified on May 20, 2019

Results of each test run are stored in files. LoadComplete projects contain references to these files giving you the possibility to view these results at your leisure. By default, projects store references to all log files. That is, the number of references kept by the project equals to the number of test runs. This number increases as testing progresses, so the number of results may grow to be quite large. You can limit the number of references to keep using the Number of recent logs to keep option (see Log Options). In this case, newer log files will push out older log files from the list of stored results when the number of references exceeds the option value. LoadComplete will delete both references to files and the files themselves, so if you want to store test results you should copy them. You can add the saved copy of results to your project any time later.

To add a log file to your project
  • Make sure you have access to the desired file (for instance, if a file is located on another computer in a folder that is not shared, you cannot access this file).

  • Open the Project Explorer panel (if it is hidden, select View | Project Explorer from the main menu of LoadComplete).

  • Right-click the Project_Name Logs node in the Project Explorer and select Add Existing Log File from the context menu.

  • LoadComplete will show the Open File dialog where you can select the log file to be added.


To delete a log file from your project
  • Open the Project Explorer panel (if it is hidden, select View | Project Explorer from the main menu of LoadComplete).

  • All of the logs are shown under the Project_Name Logs node in the Project Explorer. Right-click the desired log and select Remove from the context menu.

    Once you do this, you will be asked whether you want to remove the item from the parent item (but keep the corresponding file), or whether you want to completely delete the log file from the disk.

  • Select the action you want by pressing the Remove or Delete button.


To delete all the logs of a project
  • Right-click the Project_Name Logs node in the Project Explorer and choose Clear Log Files from the context menu.

When you command LoadComplete to delete log files from your project, it asks for confirmation to delete log files from the disk. If you decide not to delete the files, you can add to the project as it was described above. If you choose to delete files from the disk, they will be placed in the Recycle Bin and you can restore them later if you change your mind.
