Result in Excel at runtime when Testlists executed

Hello Deepak,

First, be aware that you can export test list results to an Excel file without code from the Results tab.

To proceed in code, use the Excel sample in the External Log File article and place it in the OnAfterTestListCompleted method in an Execution Extension.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your reply.

I have applied the code you provided inside OnAfterTestResultCompleted, however the result is not in the form what i expected. I want the same format of that Excel file which is generated from test Studio after execution of testlist.

Moreover when we applied the code OnAfterTestListCompleted, we got an error message "ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.TestResult" or "ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.RunResult"name or assembly reference is missing.

and when I tried to incorporate OnAfterTestListCompleted method in an Execution Extension. methods gives me  attached error.


Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Anthony,

I have removed all the compilation error and now i am getting below mentioned error log file generated in result:

Hello Deepak,

Does the Excel file exist on disk and is it in the correct format? The code shown in the External Log File article assumes that it is. The majority of that code is Microsoft-specific, so you may have luck searching that error in their forums.

If you continue to have difficulty, please paste all the code from your Execution Extension and we can assist you further.

 Hi Anthony,

I have pasted all the code from Execution Extension and created the Excel File and now I am not getting this error. Instead of this I am getting below mentioned error

I searched on the google and found that this error is of because i have removed the inheritance Class "public class Report1 : BaseWebAiiTest, IExecutionExtension" to "public class Report1 : IExecutionExtension" and saw that my coded step removed
and so i changed the inheritance to "public class Report1 : BaseWebAiiTest, IExecutionExtension"

and now i tried to save and run this i am getting error message @ Code "OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [" + sheet + "]", conn);  

cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;" 
"error cs0104: 'CommandType' is an ambiguous reference between 'System.Data.CommandType' and 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.CommandType'"

I am using below mentioned list of namespaces in order to run the code which is mentioned on Extension Execution

using Telerik.TestingFramework.Controls.KendoUI;
using Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Html;
using Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Xaml;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution;
using ArtOfTest.WebAii.ObjectModel;
using ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight;
using ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.UI;

Please guide me now how i can run this as there is ambiguous reference here. I am using the same code mentioned on Extension Execution.

Problem 2:
To run this code i need to place Excel file in the same format at location given in the method "System.Data.DataTable OnInitializeDataSource" ofd.Title = @"C:\OpenExcelFile.xls";

what if i need this file to create at runtime with the Excel FileName= filename+execution system date and time like filename=OpenExcelFile+Curent System Date+Current System Time.xls

Please help me out inorder to implement this.

Hello Deepak,

I think we have a misunderstanding. I did not intend you to copy the code from the Execution Extension (EE) article and use it directly. I wanted you to copy the contents of your EE code and paste it here so I can inspect it for errors.

Let's start from scratch so we're on the same page:

1. Follow steps 1-5 in the EE article. You'll also need to add a reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.
2. Insert the following code in the OnAfterTestListCompleted method. All other methods can be left alone:

 

public void OnAfterTestListCompleted(RunResult result)
{
    string passed = Convert.ToString(result.PassedCount);
    string failed = Convert.ToString(result.FailedCount);
    string overall = Convert.ToString(result.AllCount);
 
    string resultMessage = Convert.ToString(result.Summary);
    string[] split = resultMessage.Split(new Char[] { '\n' });
 
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excelApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
    string myPath = @"C:\Temp\Excel.xlsx";
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook workbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(myPath);
 
    int idx = 1;
    foreach (string s in split)
    {
       excelApp.Cells[idx, 1] = s;
       idx++;
    }
 
    excelApp.Cells[idx + 1, 1] = ("Number of Passed Tests: " + passed);
    excelApp.Cells[idx + 2, 1] = ("Number of Failed Tests: " + failed);
    excelApp.Cells[idx + 3, 1] = ("Number of Total Tests: " + overall);
    excelApp.Visible = true;
 
    excelApp.ActiveWorkbook.Save();
    workbook.Close(false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
    excelApp.Workbooks.Close();
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workbook);
 
    excelApp.Quit();
    GC.Collect();
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelApp);
}

 

3. Follow steps 7-9 in the EE article.

Whenever you make changes to the code in the EE, you must recompile the DLL and copy it back to the \Plugins folder (and overwrite).

As far as creating a unique Excel file with a time-stamped file name and getting that Excel into a specific format: we won't be able to provide additional assistance there. That's venturing into Microsoft code which is not Test Studio related.

Hello Deepak,

There's still some confusion. The Execution Extension code does not go into a coded step or the code-behind directly in a test. Please re-read the Execution Extension article and the steps laid out in my previous post. You need to create a Class Library project in Visual Studio and add the sample code I provided to the class file under the correct method. The compiled DLL gets copied to the Test Studio\Bin\Plugins folder, which signals Test Studio to execute that code every time after a test list executes.

The code in the External Log File article is meant to go into the code-behind for an individual test, but it only affects that test. Since you want an Excel report for a test list, the Execution Extension is appropriate as it affects execution on a project level.

So, delete the existing code from your individual test and follow the instructions in my previous post to achieve your goal.

Greetings,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,

I tried with the steps you mentioned and found that after execution of test lists no result data found in excel result sheet.

Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak,

Please place your Test Studio project folder and your Visual Studio Class Library project folder into a zip file and attach them here. If those files are too sensitive for a public forum, create a new support ticket (which is confidential), attach it there, and reference this thread. 

I'll load your projects locally and troubleshoot them.

All the best,
Anthony

Anthony,

I have a problem just getting the generic Export Test Results. I copied and pasted the format into a coded step, then exported it into Visual Studio and I get the following error **click here**.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Telerik support.

Please remove the last bracket and give it a try.

Hope this helps.
