[Solved] ImageFilePath from a URL

[Ravi]

I have a usecase where I want to publish the results of my tests on a website and have the user open the .aiiresult file to view the results of running the test suite. The problem I am encountering is that the image files showing the exception screen captures are missing on the users filesystem. Is there a way for me to set the path to a URL. The snippet below is from the result file of executing a test suite, the ImageFilePath points to an image in a relative path. Is it possible to change the image file path to a URL?

If there is a better solution to my problem I would like to know? Thanks. Below is the xml snippet.

 

<Item Type="ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.AutomationStepResult" Version="2012.1.618.0">
                <ResultType Type="ArtOfTest.Common.Design.ResultType">Fail</ResultType>

Hello Ravi,

Yes of course you can change (manually edit) the image file path to a URL. Just make sure the png file exists on the specific (remote) location.  
We are planning to add this functionality the results to be viewed via web but I cannot provide you with ETA on that.

All the best,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I changed the ImageFilePath to a vaild URL, like shown below. But the image doesnt show up in the images tab of the Failure Details. Do I need to change the Type or is there a special syntax for specifying the URL?

<ImageFilePath Type="System.String">http://localhost:8081/userContent/telerik-results/1344439991099/TelerikTest-1344439991113-1_files/PRPCSmoke_42_ImageOnFailure.png</ImageFilePath>

Thanks

Hello Ravi,

I have done some further tests and it seems I confused you which I apologize for. You cannot use URLs, but we will accept a UNC path instead. I hope that will work for you.
We are planning to implement that functionality to make results available through a web page but I cannot provide you with an ETA on this.

Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.
