Errors Pane

Relevant for: GUI tests and components, function libraries and API testing

The Errors pane lists syntax errors found in your testing documents. Double-click an error to locate its source.

To access the Errors pane, select View > Errors.

Errors may have the following severity levels: Message, Warning, or Error, and include the following types.

Code syntax errors

GUI testing

OpenText Functional Testing checks for syntax errors when switching from the Editor to Keyword view and vice versa. Check manually by selecting Design > Check Syntax.

View a description of each of the VBScript errors in the Microsoft VBScript Reference.

Note: When you use the Set statement with the GetObject function, OpenText Functional Testing may incorrectly display an error in the Errors pane for the following valid syntax: 

Set xx = GetObject(, "class")

In this case, just ignore the error in the Errors pane. The syntax can be successfully run.
API testing

See the Microsoft C# Reference for help resolving code errors.
