Rx9: Change standard behavior for failed tests

Post by BCTest » Fri Apr 12, 2019 10:05 am

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that I'd found a forum entry explaining how to change the default error behavior in a test solution in the past. But nowerdays I don't find this post any more. :?
By default any testcase will continue with the next sibling element in case of failure. How can I change the default behavior für failed testcases in a solution? For example I want the whole test to stop or to continue with the next parent element.

Regards,
BcTest

Hi,

yes, this is the setting I meant.
And I remember that the default behavior can be changed from "continue with sibling" to e.g. "continue with parent". So any new test case in a solution will get this setting instead of "continue with sibling". Do you know where this default value for new test cases can be changed for a solution?

Hi,

I believe there is currently no way to set a new default Error behavior via UI? But you may find useful this post:

Hi odklizec,

indeed?
There is no possibility to change the default error behavior in Ranorex Studio at design time?
No control, no switch? :shock:
I was absolutely convinced I've read about it. I even don't need to change it at runtime, setting it (for all new test cases) at design time would be sufficient.

Thanks for your efforts.
