Forcing a transaction to pass

[Jim]

Does anyone know if it is possible to force a transation to pass
rather than to error?

I am testing a reporting part of a system where while a query is
running a holding page comes up, this holding page has a link on it to
refresh the page. I have created a while loop to click this link and
while it is successful continue looping around and as soon as it fails
I know that the query has completed and I can go on to perform a
web_reg_find to make sure I am now on the screen I expect to be. This
is what I am using so far :

click_link_while ()

{
int c_counter = 0;
int status = 0;

//Turn on Continue on error
lr_continue_on_error( 1 );

//Stay in while loop when the status is success.
while ( status == 0 )

{
//Increment counter by 1
c_counter ++;

//If to break out of loop when the query runs for too long.
if (c_counter > 1200)
{
lr_error_message("Query running for longer than 20 mins");
lr_exit( LR_EXIT_ACTION_AND_CONTINUE,
LR_FAIL );
}

//Think time to delay the loop.
lr_think_time(1);

//Click the link to manually refresh the page and get the
//status of this. Status of 0 = success, 1 = failure.
status=web_link("click here.",
"Text=click here.",
"Snapshot=t7.inf",
LAST);
}

//Turn off Continue on error.
lr_continue_on_error( 0 );

return(0);
}


This bit of code does allow me to perform the tests I need, but
because of the way I am doing it I always get a failed transaction so
every set of results I get has a failure and I have to investigate to
check that it is the one that I expect to get.

Is there anyway that I can force this particular transaction to passed
rather than erroring or perhaps ignore this transaction all together?
Or is there a better way for me to code this?

Thanks,

Jim

did you try with LR_PASS instead using LR_AUTO or LR_FAIL ?

Try changing the code to

 

 lr_exit( LR_EXIT_ACTION_AND_CONTINUE,
                                        LR_PASS);

 

Since you have error messge ,it will displya in error but the transaction will be in PASS STATE.

Sorry but I don't think I made the question very clear in the first
place. I don't want the transaction to pass if it meets the timeout
condition, rather I want it to pass every time on this bit

//Click the link to manually refresh the page and get
the
//status of this. Status of 0 = success, 1 =
failure.
status=web_link("click here.",
"Text=click here.",
"Snapshot=t7.inf",
LAST);

regardless of whether the web_link is successfull or not. I have
tried sticking in an LR_PASS in this bit but it didn't seem to make
any difference.

Jim,
Only Way your loop exits is when it exceeds 20 mins of refreshing your page or when Status changes to 1.
I tried searching if web_link returns any value. i was not able to find any example or syntax specifying the same.
can you please do the following?

1. Using lr_vuser_status_message or lr_message, print the value of status variable.
2. change web_link to web_url, if you get proper response in status variable

I have added in the lr_output_message as you suggested and get this :

//Click the link to manually refresh the page and get the
//status of this. Status of 0 = success, 1 = failure.
status=web_link("click here.",
"Text=click here.",
"Snapshot=t7.inf",
LAST);

lr_output_message("The value of Status is %i",status);

The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 0
The value of Status is 1

Looks to me like this failed 9 times and passed once. With those odds you
want to make it pass instead of finding out why it is not working?

Actually a status of 0 in this case is a pass and a 1 is a failure -
so this has failed once on the final iteration. I know why it is
failing - the link is no longer on the page as the query has finished
and the report is now ready to be viewed. If anyone can suggest a
better way for me to code this I'm more tha happy to scrap what I am
using at the moment.

Web_reg_find()

Using a web_reg_find() wouldn't change the fact that I would still
have a transaction that is failing, I'd just have a web_reg_find
failing instead of a web_link.

[jpu...@itestsolutions.com]

Make your condition based on whether certain content is present on the page, hence web_reg_find().
