No (Quick) Logging of Disabling Tests

Post by Wolfgang Bach »

Hello KS-Soft,

i have a HMS-Script which imports new tests from a configuration database daily. There are nearly 500 items, some items go away, some items are new. Before the import all test items in a specific folder will be disabled and only the newly (and actually the important) imported test-items will be enabled.

I have two questions:

1. Is it possbile to move all disabled test to another folder via script?

2. The problem is, that i dont want to see the Disabling of the tests in the quicklog. I only want to see bad and good action results to have a clear overview about the history of an element.

Thx and regards.

Sorry, there are no such options.
May be we can add some new Quick Log options :roll:
Regarding moving items... may be its more easy just remove them or create new test list? If your test list generated automatically, probably there are no reason to keep inactive items?

Quicklog

Ok, i have to work around it. :(

How can i change the number of elements displayed in the quick log? How can i generally change quick log settings?

If i first delete all elements and create the new test items via my script (date source: configuration db), all my history entries in the quick log go away. But i need the history for my items to build reports and find elements which have an unstable connection.

HostMonitor provides undocumented QuickLogSize option that allows you to specify size of Quick Log used by HostMonitor, RCC and Web Service.
"Undocumented" means that the option is not accessible thru GUI. If you want to change default value (50), you should add "QuickLogSize=<size>" line into [Misc] section of hostmon.ini file (<size> is a number between 50 and 400, e.g. QuickLogSize=100). Please note: this option affect for folders only.

Actually, there are no particular options, except 3 different modes, accessible by clicking right mouse button on Quick Log pane:

* Show test results
* Show actions
* Show test results and actions

I think, you may use regular logging information ("Options" -> "Log Settings") in order to get information about any elements you need. Also, you may use tools like LogAnalyzer of LogVisualizer.
