The object-driven testing (ODT) functionality is deprecated. Do not use it to create new tests. It will be removed from the product in one of the future releases. As an alternative, you can create custom classes in your scripts. For more information, see Alternatives to the ODT functionality.

Description

The MethodDeclaration object provides a scripting interface to methods of ODT classes. It represents a “declaration” of a class method and provides properties that let you specify the method name and the script routine used as the given method.

Note that to work with methods of objects that are class instances created via the Classes.New method, the Method object is used.

To obtain the MethodDeclaration in your scripts, use the Methods property of the Class object.

Example

The following example demonstrates how you can obtain a MethodDeclaration object in your script.

JavaScript, JScript

function MethodDeclarationSample()
{
  // Obtains the ODT class by its name
  var ClassObj = ODT.Classes.Items("NewClass");
  // Obtains the declaration of the class method by the method’s index
  var MethodDecl = ClassObj.Methods(0);
  // Posts the method’s names and the name of the script routine assigned to the method
  Log.Message(MethodDecl.Name, MethodDecl.ScriptProc);

  …

}

VBScript

Sub MethodDeclarationSample

  ' Obtains the ODT class by its name
  Set ClassObj = ODT.Classes.Items("NewClass")
  ' Obtains the declaration of the class method by the method’s index
  Set MethodDecl = ClassObj.Methods(0)
  ' Posts the method’s names and the name of the script routine assigned to the method
  Call Log.Message(MethodDecl.Name, MethodDecl.ScriptProc)

  …

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure MethodDeclarationSample();
var ClassObj, MethodDecl;
begin
  // Obtains the ODT class by its name
  ClassObj := ODT.Classes.Items('NewClass');
  // Obtains the declaration of the class method by the method’s index
  MethodDecl := ClassObj.Methods[0];
  // Posts the method’s names and the name of the script routine assigned to the method
  Log.Message(MethodDecl.Name, MethodDecl.ScriptProc);

  …

end;

C++Script, C#Script

function MethodDeclarationSample()
{
  // Obtains the ODT class by its name
  var ClassObj = ODT["Classes"]["Items"]("NewClass");
  // Obtains the declaration of the class method by the method’s index
  var MethodDecl = ClassObj["Methods"](0);
  // Posts the method’s names and the name of the script routine assigned to the method
  Log["Message"](MethodDecl["Name"], MethodDecl["ScriptProc"]);
