Add a string result to a report on step failure

[Jed_Davidow]

Hi All!

I have a step that processes a long string report.

If the step fails, I would like to include the text from the script output, which is about 100 lines.  So I don't want it every time.

Would it be better to just have a blank txt field that I load with the output with a post expression?  Or is there a better way to toggle on/off?

You could just use the common Step.Result.ReportText field and use a ternary to specifiy whether to set it.

Step.Result.ReportText = (Step.Result.Status == "Passed") ? "" : "Your Text Information"

If ReportText is empty it won't appear on the report, and if you put information it will appear.
