_getDB haltonfailure process all applications

abourne

Hi,

I am using the _getDB to retrieve a number of test cases and loop through them and submit the records and then use asserts to verify results against know results in the database. I am using Ant to submit the script and have haltonfailure=false however if say the first record in the database fails an assert it is exiting the script and not processing the remaining records. How can I get it to mark the test as failed but still continue processing all the records

Thanks

haltonfailure is a directive to ant to mark the build as a failure if there is a failed script. This does not affect the script run itself, but only the outcome as seen by ant.

You need to wrap the code inside the loop in a try catch block. It would look something like this:

for (loop) { 
  try {
    // your code
  } catch (e) {
     _logExceptionAsFailure(e);
  }
}

You can also use the inbuilt API _dataDrive: http://sahi.co.in/w/data-driven-testing
