Hi,

I have a issue as below:
After I run a script file by Test Case executeExternalCommand, a log file is created. I want to use jubula to copy content in the log file and continue testing. Let me know if jubula is supported this feature and How can I do that?

Thanks
Trung.

Hi Trung!

I'm not sure I fully understand exactly what would you like to do, but I think the Test Case you used (executeExternalCommand) is the solution: you can write a shell script copying / modifying the log file you mentioned (if you have proper access to it), and execute it through this Test Case.

Best wishes,
Miklos

I am sorry, Miklos. I mean I have a log file and I want to get content in the file. Do you have any way to get that?

Thanks

Hm, so you'd like to use data extracted from the file in your test. That's not possible directly, but there are ways to achieve something similar. The simplest would be to use the external command's return value to let Jubula know if something went wrong. This is a very limited use, but if you need only binary information (everything was OK / something went wrong), then you can use this. I don't think there's any 'official' way for more detailed information. As an ugly workaround you can write a script which returns 0 / 1 answers to questions, like "Is there an ERROR entry in the generated log file?", "Are there any ERROR entries containing the word JavaFX?", etc. Then you can call this script from Jubula and act accordingly depending on the answer(s). If you need textual information extracted from the log file then you can write a script which modifies an Excel file which is used as an External Data Source.

Best wishes,
Miklos
