var = DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetParameter("Test")
print var
print Reporter.CurrentTestIterationStatus
print Reporter.RunStatusFilter Property

Desktop.CaptureBitmap "MyDesktop.bmp" Reporter.ReportEvent micDone, "Screenshot", "This is a screenshot of the desktop", "MyDesktop.bmp"
ReportHtmlEvent Method
Description
Reports an event to the run results, with step name and details in HTML format if applicable.
Syntax
Reporter.ReportHtmlEventEvent Status, ReportStepName, Details, [Image File Path]
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Event Status | String | The textual content of the note. Possible values include:
|
| ReportStepName | String | Name of the step displayed in HTML format. |
| Details | String | Description of the run results event. The string will be displayed in HTML format. |
| Image File Path | Variant | Optional. Path and filename of the image to be displayed in the run results. Images in the following formats can be displayed:
Note: Images cannot be loaded from ALM. Including large images in the run results may impact performance. If an image is specified as a relative path, OpenText Functional Testing will first search the Results folder for the image and then the search paths specified in the Folders pane of the Options dialog box (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Folders node). |
IMPORTANT
- This method is similar to the existing ReportEvent method. However, this method is able to report the step name and details in HTML format.
- It is important to ensure that the html string sent to the run results has correct syntax and will not affect the ability of the HTML report to display properly. Therefore, It is not recommended to use <html>, <head>,<body>, <script> tags in both step name and details.
ExampleThe following example uses the ReportHtmlEvent method to report a step with step name in html and details in plain text.
Reporter.ReportHtmlEvent micDone, “Html <i>Source</i>”, “The raw html source is: <p>User-defined step.</p>”ReportNote Method
Description
Adds a note to the run results. The note is displayed in the Executive Summary Notes section of the Result Details pane when the root node is selected in the run results tree.
Syntax
Reporter.ReportNote NoteContent
Arguments
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
NoteContent | String | The textual content of the note. |
ExamplesThe following examples use the ReportNote method to add test-related configuration and version notes to the results.
Reporter.ReportNote "This test was run from IP 12.34.56.89 using a wireless connection."Reporter.ReportNote "This test was run on version " & DataTable.GlobalSheet.GetParameter("App_Version_Value")Reporter.ReportNote "The current test configuration is " & Environment("ConfigFile")ReportPath Property
Description
Retrieves the folder path in which the current test's results are stored.
Note: Do not use this property to attempt to set the results folder path.
Syntax
Path = Reporter.ReportPath
Argument | Type | Description |

dim Path
Path = Reporter.ReportPath
MsgBox (Path) RunStatus Property
Description
Retrieves the run status at the current point of the run session. For tests, it returns the status of current test during the test run. For business components, it returns the status of current business component (not the entire business process test).
Syntax
Reporter.RunStatus
ExampleThe following example uses the RunStatus property to retrieve the status of the run session at a specific point and exit the action if the test status is fail. If the test status is not fail, the test run continues.
