Programmatically Logging an Error

Test cases can pass, even though an error has occurred, because they used their own error handler and did not specify to log the error. If you want to handle errors locally and generate an error (that is, log an error in the results file), you can do any of the following:

• After you have handled the error, re-raise it using the reraise statement and let the default recovery system handle it.
• Call any of the following functions in your script:

  LogError (string, [cmd-line])

  Writes string to the results file as an error (displays in red or italics, depending on platform) and increments the error counter.

  This function is called automatically if you don’t handle the error yourself.

  cmd-line is an optional string expression that contains a command line.

  LogWarning (string)

  Same as LogError, except it logs a warning, not an error.

  ExceptLog ( )

  Calls LogError with the data from the most recent exception.
