Resolving Errors directly from the Run log

The Jump to run log button from the dialog in figure 23.12 will not only open the run log but takes us directly to the node that holds the error details. Apart from the actual error message you will find screenshots and a copy of the variable bindings table (stack trace), which we will introduce later on (The Variable Bindings table).

The error details tell you that the expected value does not match with the one shown in the application. As the one in the application is correct we want to update the expected value with the one from the application. This can easily be achieved as follows:

  • ActionRight-click the red-bordered node "Failed: Check text: default ..." indicating the actual error
  • Select »Update check node with current data« from the context menu.

This locates the corresponding 'Check text' node in the test suite and updates the expected value of the 'Text' attribute with the value got as indicated by the run log.

The previously faulty node still is highlighted with a red border since we have not run it again.

  • Action Now continue execution by releasing the pause buttonContinue.

QF-Test runs the rest of the test suite, i.e. the 'Check text' and 'Cleanup' nodes, and informs you at the end of the run that there was one error, which you have already fixed.

Since the error has been fixed and we will continue using the test cases as examples you could rename the second test case and delete '(with error)' in its name as well as '(causing Error)' in the name of the test step.

Jump into run log: You do not have to wait for an error dialog to open the run log at the current point of execution (or close by). Whenever you are in debugging mode, select the »Debugger«-»Jump to Run log« menu option, or use the [Ctrl-J] shortcut. If you just want to open the run log without jumping to the current point of execution you can use [Ctrl-L]. This will work after the test run finished, too.
