Navigating Within the Log Tree

Applies to TestComplete 14.0, last modified on January 23, 2019

TestComplete provides the ability to find test items whose logs contain messages of a certain type (for example, informative or error messages) by moving from one message of this type to another. To do this, follow these steps:

  • In the log tree right-click the log item from which you want to start the search. If the log tree reflects the project suite execution and you right-click the log item corresponding to the project run, the next message will be searched in the next project.

  • Click the right-arrow button of the Navigate to Next item in the context menu and choose the desired type of message from the appeared list. After this, you will move to the next message of the specified type (relative to the current log message) and the icon of this type will be displayed on the Navigate to Next item of the context menu. If the icon of the desired type is already set in Navigate to Next, you can simply click this item of the context menu to jump to the next message of the selected type.

Also you can do the same using the Navigate to the Next Item item of the Log toolbar that is located above the log tree. The icon of some type of message indicates this item. If you want to move to the next message of the specified type (relative to the current log message) simply click this icon. If you want to go to the message of another type, select the desired type from the list that is appeared when you click the down-arrow near the current icon.

Note: If you specify the  Success type for the search, you will jump to the next project test item (relative to the current one) that contains test(s) executed successfully during the project run. Logs of these tests can contain informative () and event () messages, and messages posted by checkpoints if the comparison was successful (). If you specify a type other than Success for the search, you will go directly to the test log that contains the corresponding message.
