Paul,
It seems that you need a fail case for when it fails,
I have run into the same thing yesterday... when I used the "rescue => e" it
seems to work... in my case... the script that works for me
is...
begin
assert($ie.contains_text("User profile has been updated.") )
$logger.log("###USER UPDATE TEST PASSED####' ")
$logger.log_results("test_b_add_new_user", "User profile has been updated.", "User profile has been updated.", "TEST PASSED.")
assert($ie.contains_text("User profile has been updated.") )
$logger.log("###USER UPDATE TEST PASSED####' ")
$logger.log_results("test_b_add_new_user", "User profile has been updated.", "User profile has been updated.", "TEST PASSED.")
rescue =>
e
$logger.log("###USER UPDATE TEST FAILED####" + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n"))
$logger.log_results("test_b_add_new_user", "User profile has been updated.", "User profile has been updated.", "TEST FAILED.")
$logger.log("###USER UPDATE TEST FAILED####" + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n"))
$logger.log_results("test_b_add_new_user", "User profile has been updated.", "User profile has been updated.", "TEST FAILED.")
end
Regards,
Thom

Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Assertions help
I understand what you mean by clarity (compared to my not-nil-if-block), but it's unintuitive to me how the next line is magically attached to the "assert" command without some kind of "if" statement.
Can you describe how this line coherence works? I noticed some strange behaviour in one script that I can't figure out yet. Here's what my script does (in pseudo code):
def test_case_01
open browser
goto Reset Password page
enter incorrect email address
check that the correct error message appears ("assert" & output here)
press the "cancel" button to return to the Login page
end
What I noticed is that if the assert line passes, then this script works as expected. However, if the assert *doesn't* pass (i.e. the "contains_text" fails to find the message), then the next line is skipped. So the "cancel" button is never pressed and the remaining test cases all break because they're not starting from the correct [login] page.
To get around this, I moved the "Press the "cancel" button" command to the start of the next test case. That way it starts from the right place.
Do you know why this line is skipped (no matter how many blank lines I put between them) if the assert line fails?
Paul.

This would be clearer and has the same results:
assert($ie.contains_text("Please try again"))
puts "TEST PASSED. Found test string: 'Please try again.' "

end
So now my script will output "Test Passed" if the assertion passes (i.e. = "nil"). The "else" doesn't work, but then it's kind of redundant to print "Test Failed" anyway since the failure info appears at the end of the run (as expected).
