Code to break out of a Test Case

Post by Fergal » Wed Sep 06, 2017 9:21 am

Hi,

I have a TC in this format:

TC
- Recording Module A
- Recording Module B
- Recording Module C
- Recording Module D

I'd like to insert a code module between Recording Module A and Recording Module B, that will end and pass the TC, if a certain element exists. What code can I use to break out of the TC and not run the subsequent recording modules.

Edit: Using Ranorex 6.2.1 on Windows 7

Thanks

Hi,

I think the cleanest solution of your problem is enclosing modules B, C and D in a nested smart folder. Then you should setup a condition, which will run or ignore the smart folder, based of the variable/parameter filled via the code module you mentioned (placed before the smart folder with condition). I believe there is also a coded way to achieve what you want? But if I remember it correctly, it uses an internal API, which is not recommended to use ;) So using nested SF with condition is probably the best way.

Thanks for your suggestion and reply odklizec. Sorry but I should have said I am using Ranorex 6.2.1, so I don't think that's an option on this version.

Well, in this case, you still have two options...

You can still create a nested test case (placed after code module), and then disable/enable it from code, like this:

Code: Select all

TestSuite.Current.GetTestCase("TestCaseName").Checked = false;
And this sample skips all TestCase modules (uses internal API):

Hope this helps?

Thanks very much Pavel. Your first option looks perfect, will work on that and reply back if I have any issues / questions.
