Log page url on test failure

[Aliasger Kiranawala]

Team,

I want to know if there is a way to log the failed page url along with screen shot? Currently i have to trace back to know from which URL I reached by following steps till the failure happened. 

Any help is appreciated!

Hi aliasger,

I did a similar step in one of my projects.  Capturing a screenshot at failure step can be taken care by framework.

Steps I followed.

------------------------

1)  In the variables section  @{URLList}= Create List

2) In the test case set global variable ${URLList}

3) Identify Bad Url

    ${url}=   Get Location
    log  ${url}
    Append To List  ${URLList}  ${url}
    log  ${URLList}
    set global variable  ${URLList}

With this you can get all the failure urls. If you want screenshot here, take the failure url and verify in the report

But I dont want to capture all the page urls. I just need those when the failure occurs.

One thing I learned was that you can override the default keyword that is run on failure with Register Keyword To Run On Failure so you could create a keyword that does a Get Location and Capture Page Screenshot and make this new keyword your on failure keyword.

Not sue if that's what your after, so I hope that helps,

Dave.

Thanks Dave.

Yes I was looking for the similar approach. One question is will the same work when any built in keyword fails?

[Dave Amies]

I believe that one is specific to Selenium Library, I used it because I wanted to disable screen shots for a section of my test to reduce the number of screenshots i'll never look at (it was a retry loop)

When I checked the documentation for Builtin I found (I've not used these, but the may be what you want):

- Run Keyword If Test Failed

- Run Keyword If Any Tests Failed

So they may help you,

Dave.
