Post Expression "If" statement

[jksfiftyfive]

Im working with TS 4.0

Im trying to set a flag in a numeric limit test.  So basically, if the numeric test fails, in the post expression, id like to set local.flag=1.

How do i do this?

thanks all!

if (Step.Result.Status == "Fail")

Local.flag = 1

Hi,

There's two things wrong with this.

1. Its "Failed"

2. Step.Result.Status will not have been evaluated yet. The Status gets evaluated after the Post Expression. Therefore your flag will not have changed value.

You would have to use one of the Callbacks such as PostResultListEntry.

In the example above, is it necessary to put "if (Step.Result.Status == "Fail")" and "Local.flag = 1" on separate lines, or can they be strung together on one line like:

if (Step.Result.Status == "Failed") Local.flag = 1

No trees were harmed in making this post. However, several electrons were moderately inconvenienced.
