Extracting value from web test

[Nicky]

I am a newbie to Test , I just couldn’t find the answer directly from the help documents!

Question: I would like to extract a particular value from the I am testing and write it to a text file.

I tried

And in coded test:
public void MyFirstCodeTest_CodedStep()
        {
            string myData = GetExtractedValue(seconds);
System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\\source.txt");
            file.WriteLine("Expected Result: "+ myData);
            file.Close();
}
But it doesn’t help!

Can you suggest a please?

Please email the answer to [e-mail]

Thanks!

Hi Nicky,

What is exactly not working in your code? The extraction of the variable or the writing into the file?

Please let me know so I can help you with the code.

Thank you!

Hi Boyan,

My test steps are:

Click 'SearchButtonLink'

Extract 'TextContent' on 'TestDiv' into DataBingVariable $(TestDiv)

             DataBindVariableName: seconds

In my Code Behind File I got:

        public IList<AutomationStepResult> stepResults { get; set; }
        public override void OnAfterTestCompleted(TestResult result)
        {

            string resultMessage = Convert.ToString(result.Message);
            string myData = GetExtractedValue('seconds');
            System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\\source.txt");

            file.WriteLine(resultMessage);
            file.WriteLine("Expected Result: "+ myData);
            file.Close();
        }
   There is a compiler error at the line for  GetExtractedValue('seconds')

error: Too many characters in character literal. 

Basically, I cannot get the value of 'seconds' in the code!

Thank you!

Hi Boyan,

The issue is resolved when I changed

string myData = GetExtractedValue(seconds);

with:

object myData = GetExtractedValue(“seconds”);

 

Thanks anyways :)

Hi Nicky,

You can use string myData = GetExtractedValue("seconds").ToString(); with the ToString method it should also work.

Hope that helps.
