Message Functions

Arguments

Name	Comments
message	The text to output.

The lr.output_message function sends a message with the script section and line number to output windows, log files, and other test report summaries.

For details regarding the output for each product, see the products' user guides.

When a script is run in VuGen, the output file is output.txt.

To send an error message to the output window or log, use the lr.error_message function. It is not recommended that you send a message to the output window or agent log in the middle of a transaction, as it will lengthen the execution time. To send a message to thelog but not the output window, use lr.log_message.

To send a message to the output file, you must enable logging in the runtime settings, and select Always send messages. If you select Send messages only when an error occurs, there is no output from this function.

To issue a message without including the location details, use lr.message.

statement	Output
lr.log_message("a message")	a message
