Skipping a Telerik test using Assert

Hi Cody,

Sorry if my post was confusing.

I meant to say skip the test step only. Not the entire test.

Scenario is like this. There are let's say 10 steps. First one is login. If login itself fails, i want to skip the remaining steps.

So currently i am setting a flag in step 1 and if flag is true then only i am going inside remaining steps.

From execution point of view , things are happening correctly. When step 1 fails, no other step will get executed.

But in execution report,all are showing as passed. I am looking for a solution for that issue.

Thanks,

VVP

Hi Cody,

1)

I tried scenario where i didn't set "ContinueOnFailure=True" and made to fail first step.I was able to see like you have shown in screenshot. But in logs no information about other steps (whether passed /failed /skipped) are printed.

Logs - AutomationLogs.txt

2)

Another scenario where i have around 10 steps

-> First is login and if it fails( i fail steps through Assert.Fail in Visualstudio unittesting), i am just skipping steps using "If" loop

like

            if (exeflag == true)
            {

              // Perform Step operation

              }

            else
            {
                Assert.Inconclusive("Skipping test);  // using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
            }​

See the logs attached for this. AutomationLog_Steps_ShownAsPassed.txt

Kindly let me know if you need more info.

Thanks for the info.
I replaced Visualstudio unit testing asserts with Telerik Asserts. Only reason why i used Visual Studio ones is because it offers  Assert.Inconclusive(); which is similar to Nunit Assert.Ignore().This is what i am looking for in Telerik Test studio.

As i went through your mail, i believe there is no mechanism for skipping a test,We have to set ContinueOnFailure=false and Telerik will abort the steps.

In my scenario what i was trying to achieve is described below.

Lets assume, i keep ContinueOnFailure=True meaning even if first step fails, it will proceed to next steps.
I am executing through ArtofTest.Runner and not through UI.
-> 10 steps are being executed,
-> 1st step( If Login fails, ArtOfTest.Common.UnitTesting.Assert.IsTrue(LoginSuccess) will fail the step and set a bool exeflag=false.)
-> Remaining 9 steps has a If condition in the body, which checks exeflag 
        --> if exeflag=true, then only execute the remaining steps. 
        --> if exeflag=false, I need to skip and have some information in logs mentioning thes ewere skipped.

So Can you suggest any solution for my scenario.

Thanks,

Hi Cody,

Sure. I will not set ContinueOnFailure=True for first step. So if login fails, remaining steps will be skipped.That will work as partial solution.

As per my understanding, we dont have explicit mechanism for skipping tests right.

1) So can we raise a feature request or something to include in future releases.? It will definitely help . 

2) When tests are skipped (ContinueOnFailure=True is not set and login fails) , that information should be made available in logs. Currently only through UI, we will be able to make out right.

Hi Cody,

Yes i have used Telerik execution extensions and printing pass,fail information to a text file.

But i am unable to get Skipped steps. If i get number of skipped steps, then report will be complete. In UI also it is not shown right.

Thanks,
