Action Detail

Assert(message, condition, data, tags)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
message	string	Message to put in the report.
obj1	object	First object to compare.
obj2	object	Second object to compare.
data	SeSReportLink | SeSReportText	SeSReportImage
tags	object	Hash of attributes to set for this particular log entry. Optional.

AssertImage(message, img1, path, data, tags)

Checks if 'img1' equals to image stored at 'path' and saves corresponding Report entry. Assertion is an atomic piece of verification. Assertion may contain some additional data (links, images, comments) set via 'data' parameter.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
message	string	Message to put in the report.
img1	object	ImageWrapper object (1st image to compare).
path	string	Path to the second image to compare.
data	SeSReportLink | SeSReportText	SeSReportImage
tags	object	Hash of attributes to set for this particular log entry. Optional.

BeginTest(name, path)

Marks beginning of a test with a given name.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Test name
path	string	Path to the test, that is executed. This string will be shown as a comment. Optional.

CaptureDesktopImage(caption)

Captures image of the desktop and adds it to the report.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
caption	string	Image title for the report.

CaptureObjectImage(caption, objId)

Captures image of an object and adds it to the report.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
caption	string	Image title for the report.
objId	string | SeSObject	Id of an object or SeSObject instance.

CaptureWindowImage(caption, windowTitle, windowClass, bringToFront)

Captures image of an application window matched by title and class and adds it to the report.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
caption	string	Image title for the report.
windowTitle	string	String or regular expression to match window title.
windowClass	string	String or regular expression to match window class. Optional, Default: regex:.*.
bringToFront	boolean	Set to 'false' to not restore the window before making the image. Optional, Default: true.

EndTest()

Marks end of a currently executed test. Calculates test results and performs finalization of test execution.

FailTest(message)

Stops test execution and sets it's status to failed.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
message	string	Failure description. Optional, Default: Test stopped on error.

GetReportAttribute(name)

Gets report attribute previously set by PushReportAttribute or SetReportAttribute.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Attribute name.

GetTestStatus()

Gets status of currently executed test.

Returns:

One of: Tester.Info - test is neither passed nor failed; Tester.Pass - test passed; Tester.Fail - test failed; Tester.Unresolved - test status is unresolved, test terminated unexpectedly.

IgnoreStatus(ignore)

In IgnoreStatus mode the assertion status is always treated as "Info". Real status is written to "realStatus" attribute in this case and used just for information purposes (i.e. it does not affect final test status).

This function is used when the test case needs to set test status manually.

  Tester.IgnoreStatus(true);
  Tester.Assert("Ignored Assertion", false); // This assertion is failed. But its status is ignored.
  Tester.IgnoreStatus(false);
  Tester.Assert("Test passed", true);
  // The overall test is passed because failed assertion is ignored.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
ignore	boolean	Set to 'true' to report all messages but ignore the status (Pass/Fail)

Message(message, data, tags)

Saves corresponding Report message. Message may contain some additional data (links, images, comments) set via 'data' parameter.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
message	string	Message to put in the report
data	SeSReportLink | SeSReportText	SeSReportImage
tags	object	Hash of attributes to set for this particular log entry. Optional.

MessageBox(message)

Shows message box to user. Use it for verbose and manual testing.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
message	string	Message to display.

MessageBoxPrompt(question)

Shows message box with question to the user and checks if user presses "Yes" or "No". "Yes" => "Pass" goes to the report with this message. "No" => "Fail" is reported.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
question	string	Question to display.

PopReportAttribute(name)

Resets an attribute to its previous value. See PushReportAttribute for more information.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Attribute name to recall from stack.

Returns:

string: Previous value. Null if no such stacked attribute found.

PushReportAttribute(name, value)

Maintains "stacked" attributes. Useful for nesting.

Example:

Main test sets scenario=Main. Then it calls another scenario (scenario Login) and then continues its own test actions.

We want all assertions to be attributed with current scenario name.

 function Main()
 {
     Tester.PushReportAttribute("scenario", "Main");
     Login();
     ...
     Tester.Assert("Main test passed", mainStatus); // Saved with scenario=Main
 }

function Login()
 {
     Tester.PushReportAttribute("scenario", "Login");
     ... // Do login logic
     Tester.Assert("Login Result", loginStatus);
     Tester.PopReportAttribute("scenario"); // Set scenario value back to caller
 }

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Attribute name to recall from stack.
value	string	New attribute value.

ResetReportAttribute(name)

Removes report attribute previously set by SetReportAttribute.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Attribute name.

SetReportAttribute(name, value)

Set persistent attribute. It will be set for all subsequent report items (assertions, tests, requirements, and so on). It may be changed by calling the ResetReportAttribute function.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Attribute name to set.
value	string	New attribute value.

SuppressReport(suppress)

In SuppressReport mode all assertions are ignored. That means no lines are added to report and all statuses are treated as "Info". This mode is like IgnoreStatus mode but no status messages are added to report.

  Tester.SuppressReport(true);
  Tester.Assert("No assertion", false); // Status of this assertion will be ignored and no record will be added to report
  SeS('Obj1').DoClick(); // No line will be added to report and operation status will be ignored
  Tester.SuppressReport(false);

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
suppress	boolean	Set to 'True' to suppress adding anything into the report.
