Capture screen shot for unexpected Errors.

[uma87]

Hi,

While running my tests, i get some unexpected Errors like " Error found click here to go back " . for this situation i added a recovery senario. but my requirement is can i capture or make a note of such errors to confirm that error has occured/exists . Also is there any option to check after which step it occured?

U can capture the screen shot for the error.
Use this in the recovery scenario u had created, and save at desired location.

Desktop.CaptureBitmap(Imagename,True)

Correct me if wrong

If i Write this line "Desktop.CaptureBitmap(Imagename,True)" at the start or end of the script will it capture all the errors and save in required loaction or i have define this every time through out the script?
Image name here is the one which we save in recovary scenario?

Desktop.CaptureBitmap(Imagename,True) will take the screen shot of the current active screen.
If its an error msg box it will capture it.
So its better 2 use it in recovery scenario.
When error occurs recovery scenario will triggers and this will capture the screen shot of the error.

HI,
The method suggested by you to include the screenshot code in the function invoked by recovery scenario is just taking the screenshot of the QTp window without the runtime error window.
I am unable to figure out how to take the screenshot of the runtime error window (thrown due to object identification failing) and save it in a location. I am able to invoke my recovery scenario and call the function (below is the code for the function called by the recovery scenario):

Function RecoveryFunction1(Object, Method, Arguments, retVal)

path_error_file="C:\automation\qtp_screenshot\screenshot_app.png"
Desktop.CaptureBitmap path_error_file,True
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"Recovery scenario invoked","Recovery scenario invoked due to runtime error", path_error_file
End Function

But unfortunately its not takeing the screenshot of the runtime error window.
Can anyone pls help!!!
Thanks

Go to tools--->options--->Run-->ScreenCapture then select the check box "Save still image captures to result" and choose "for errors and warnings" in dropdown
you will then see the Error snapshot in the result file generated.
