Updating PDF Checkpoints

From Tests

From the Test Log

The baseline data used by PDF checkpoints are stored in the Stores > Files collection of your project as text files. You can update these files directly from your tests. This may be convenient if you need to batch update multiple checkpoints:

1. Enable the global update option:

   1. Select Tools > Options from the TestComplete main menu. This will open the Options dialog.

   2. Select the Engines > Stores category.

   3. Select the Update files check box.

   4. Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog.

   2. Select the Update check box of the files you want to update.

3. Run your tests that include one of the following:

   • PDF Checkpoint operation.

   • Files.File_Name.CheckPDFText method.

During the test run, the selected checkpoints will not perform verification. Instead, TestComplete will replace the stored text content with the content of actual files.

If a PDF checkpoint fails, you can easily update its baseline data from the test log:

1. Select the "checkpoint failed" message.

2. Open the Details panel of the message.

3. Click the Update the <Checkpoint_Name> checkpoint data link at the bottom of the panel.
