Viewing test progress

[sak719]

Looking for ways to view test progress during running of batched up tests. Something like writing to

a text file, then doing a tail -f to see the progress. Or is there a more efficeint or easier way?

Thx

hi sak719,

Your question is a bit vague, What do you mean by batched up tests?

Anyway, search for ProgressOn(), ProgressSet(), ProgressOff() in the help-file and try putting together something.

If you stumble, feel free to post back with your code.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info but that's not the progess I'm talking about. What I'm doing is automating the install of

3rd party s/w. What I need to see is what packages have been installed, and what is the current package, etc.

Looking at the popups may not be enough to tell me what is being installed. I would like to look at a log file to see what's

been installed so far, etc.

You mean something like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 366, 253, -1, -1)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 8, 345, 201)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Press button to begin")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Install Software", 257, 216, 95, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            $log = FileWrite("installation.log", "Beginning installation of software #1" & @CRLF)
            GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, FileRead("installation.log"))
            ;Install software #1
            Sleep (2000)
            $log = FileWrite("installation.log", "Software #1 has been installed" & @CRLF)
            GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, FileRead("installation.log"))
            Sleep (2000)

            $log = FileWrite("installation.log", "Beginning installation of software #2" & @CRLF)
            GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, FileRead("installation.log"))
            ;Install software #2
            Sleep (2000)
            $log = FileWrite("installation.log", "Software #2 has been installed" & @CRLF)
            GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, FileRead("installation.log"))
                        
            FileDelete("installation.log")
    EndSwitch
WEnd
