Hello Michael,

you can include arbitrary messages in the report by calling
rc.logMessage with the report parameter set to true.

And you have access to the output of a process via the variable
${qftest:client.output.<name>} or, preferably, in a Server script via

rc.lookup("qftest", "client.output.<name>", false)

The argument false for the parameter expand of the rc.lookup method is
useful here to prevent QF-Test from trying to expand $(...)
expressions that might be contained in the client output.

Bringing all of this together in a Jython 'Server script' node:


client = rc.lookup("client")
output = rc.lookup("qftest", "client.output.%s" % client, false)
rc.logMessage("Output from client %s:\n%s" % (client, output), report=true, nowrap=true)


Note: The nowrap parameter produces better results for this kind of
output in the report as it results in preformatted text that doesn't
wrap the lines.

Best regards,
    Greg
