_util.LogLine Method

Adds an entry to the Microsoft Windows event log, which you can view using the Event Viewer.

Remarks

  • Use this method to help you analyze the performance of your support set or debug its functionality.
  • When working with Chrome, the LogLine method adds the content to the Chrome console (and not the Windows event log). 
    The log level is controlled via the settings for the UFT Testing Agent extension in Chrome.

Example

The following JavaScript function runs the test object method GoToUsedBookPage (on the Web Extensibility sample Book object) and calls the _util.LogLine method to add an entry to the Microsoft Windows event log indicating that the method ran. 

function GoToUsedBooksPage()
{ // Click the link in the first cell of the third row.
   _elem.rows[3].cells[0].children[1].click();
