Extracting details to log

[Ben]

Hi,

I am performing a test which logs in to a site and extracts (or ideally will compare) certain field values to a log file/excel.

I have got it working for a basic test (one extracted value):

System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("C:/mylog.txt");

String a = Convert.ToString(GetExtractedValue("fieldVal"));//This could go on forever...


 

{

    //file.WriteLine(ToString(fieldVal));

    file.WriteLine("Test log entry Values Returned: " + a + " "); //...As would this

    file.NewLine();

    file.Close();

}

The problem lies with the amount of values I will be extracting. Is there no way to use the DataBindVariableName, rather than having to GetExtractedValue from each of them? I won't be changing any values, just logging or comparing them.

For example:

System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("C:/mylog.txt");
//String a = Convert.ToString(GetExtractedValue("fieldVal"));//Now redundant

{
    //file.WriteLine(ToString(fieldVal));
    file.WriteLine("Test log entry Values Returned: " + fieldVal + " "); //...This would likely be some sort of Loop
    file.NewLine();
    file.Close();
}

Hi Ben,

The only way to achieve that is to use directly GetExtractedValue method in file.WriteLine:

System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("C:/mylog.txt");


file.WriteLine("Test log entry Values Returned: " + GetExtractedValue
("fieldVal").ToString() + " ");


file.Close();

Here is a video demonstration.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you Royan, that is pretty much what I was looking for.

I still wonder if there is a more efficient way of cycling through all extracted values to repeat this line. Test Studio seems to pull the name of the element from the site.

For example, is there a method to do this:

For each (extractedValue)

{
file.WriteLine(GetExtractedValue(extractedValue).ToString() + Environment.NewLine);
}
file.close()

Hello Ben,

Unfortunately Test Studio doesn't create a collection which contains all extracted value. 

A possible approach is to create your own collection and add the element after every extraction:

List<string> myList = new List<string>();
SetExtractedValue("extractedValue", "data");
myList.Add(GetExtractedValue("extractedValue").ToString());

Hope this helps.
