I think the best way to do this would be to: A) make StringFromFile implement TestListener, and the hard part B) modify the code that parses strings and creates functions to look out for functions that implement TestListener and do something intelligent there.
I'm not sure how exactly that would work without digging into the code pretty substantially, but I think it could happen this way. The code that makes functions in is .engine.util. -Mike On 10 Oct 2003 at 15:57, BAZLEY, Sebastian wrote: > [Note: this is not an urgent problem, just something I'd like to understand > and fix if possible.] > > We're using the StringFromFile [SFF} function to read in test data. > Each instance opens a file and keeps reading, re-opening at the end of file. > > However, at the end of a test run, the file will be left open. > > This is not a problem in batch mode, as the server will then exit, but the > GUI can be used to run multiple tests (*), so I thought I would try and find > a way to detect the end of a test. > > The TestListener interface has no effect, as functions are not nodes in the > plan. > > I then tried adding a finalizer, and that did not work either.
