Hello,

I try to create an "optional action". I set Properties "Continue On Failed" to True and "Use Logging" to False. But I see the folowing warning in the log: What must I do to remove this warning?

Thanks

Hi,

It is unfortunately not possible to disable the whole logging mechanisms for a single action in a recording at the moment.
If the action fails you are still getting a notification.
You can create a new Test Case for this action/recording and there you can set the "Report Level" to "Error" as workaround.

Thanks for the answer, but this will multiply the number of TestCases.

It would be interesting to have "Real Optional Action", with for example a Boolean variable to "enable/disable" the action.

As Markus already said, currently there is no real option for this issue. I will add an issue to our internal TFS server. Then this feature will be discussed and maybe it is in one of the next versions.

OK. I hope we are not alone, because it will be very useful for us.

Thanks

You're not - we asked for the same thing in the API forum (I think you just asked for it a more effective way).

Hi guys,

This feature will be available in one of the next Ranorex versions.

2013/11/05 08:26:50.022 INFO Validation (Optional Action)
Validating AttributeEqual (Checked='False') on item

So there is no way I can get rid of these (optional Action) is my test report?

Validate.EnableReport = false; does not work


Pete

WorkAround: set Report.Log(ReportLevel.Info, "Validation"...) to Report.Log(ReportLevel.Info, "User"...)

Currently it is not possible to get rid of the optional action warning if you enable the seeting on a actions inside the action grid, expect you convert the action to user code and you add a try catch to your code with a report action inside the catch clause. But we have already scheduled a feature to give the user more choice of this action. It will be in one of the next Ranorex versions but I cannot tell you when this feature will be available.

Sample:

try
{
    your actions.......
}
catch(Exception ex) { Report.Info("(Optional Action) " + ex.Message); }

Hello,

Thanks.

Hello Todd,

Yes there is an update for this feature. It will be available in the Ranorex 5.0

Markus (S)

Hi,
is there an update avaliable in one of the 5.x Versions now, where you can disable the warning?

Thank you

Hi agrimm,

Yes this is possible in 5.0.
If the setting "Use Logging" set to false in the recorder action properties dialog no warning message will be shown in the report if "Continue on fail" is active.

Bernhard

Yep, very nice, worked perfectly.
Thank you
