try{
_click(_link("does not exist"));
}catch($e){

}
_logImage
Since Sahi Pro: 6.0.0Since Sahi OS: NA
_logImage($imagePath[, $message[, $logType]])
Arguments
$imagePath | string | Path to image file which will be logged along with the message. Relative paths will be resolved relative to current script. |
$message | string optional | Message to log |
$logType | string optional | Changes the color in which log statement is displayed. Can be one of "INFO" , "SUCCESS" , "FAILURE" ,"CUSTOM" , "CUSTOM1" , "CUSTOM2" , "CUSTOM3" ,"CUSTOM4" , "CUSTOM5" , "CUSTOM6" Defaults to "INFO" |

_log("../tiger.png"); // Will add the image to logs
_log("C:/tiger.png", "This is a tiger"); // Will log image along with message
_log("C:/tiger.png", "This is a tiger in custom log message", "CUSTOM1"); // Will log image with message in a different color
_logOutput
Since Sahi Pro: 6.2.0Since Sahi OS: NA
_logOutput($message)
Arguments
$message | string | Message to log |
Details
_logOutput allows concatenating multiple output messages during a script execution,
and display the concatenated string in the script and suite reports.
Sample Script:
For the above script, the following message will be displayed in script report:

Sample Script:
_logOutput("Script started."); // Logging output: Script started.
_setValue(_textbox("user"), "test");
_setValue(_password("password"), "secret");
_click(_submit("Login"));
_logOutput("Login passed."); // Logging output: Login passed.
_click(_button("Logout"));
_logOutput("Script stopped."); // Logging output: Script stopped.
For the above script, the following message will be displayed in script report:
_artifact
Since Sahi Pro: 6.2.0Since Sahi OS: NA
_artifact($artifactPath[, $label])
Arguments
$artifactPath | string | File path of the artifact files. If artifactPath is a relative path, it is evaluated relative to the script that includes it. Can be folder path. Wildcard * is also supported. |
$label | string optional | Label to add to the artifacts. If the label is not specified its default value will be artifactPath. |
Details
_artifact is used to save a file as part of the logs. For example, one may want to store a report from your application along with the script report.
Each artifact is uniquely named and associated with a script report, so that multiple runs do not over write the same artifact file.
A link to the artifact will be visible on the script report.
All artifacts in a suite can be downloaded as a zip from the suite report page.

Arguments
$message | string optional | Message to print when logging this mask statement |
Details
_maskLogs tells Sahi not to display further steps in the playback logs and in the Controller.
This is used when sensitive information like password may be entered via script, but we do not want it stored/displayed anywhere

Code Folding
When a function is called in a Sahi script, the logs for that function call are automatically "folded" in the reports.Disable Code Folding
Sometimes, for commonly called utility functions, one may choose not to log the code folded function.
This can be done by adding
fnName.noLog = true
after the function definition.Example.
function getTimeStamp() {
return (new Date()).toString();
}
getTimeStamp.noLog = true;
Demarcating Test Cases
Sections of a script may need to be marked as separate testcases while viewing in logs.
For example a single script can exercise login, verifyTotal and logout, and may be considered as 3 testcases in a single script.
_testcase

_testcase($testcaseId, $description)
Arguments
$testcaseId | string | Unique identifier for testcase |
$description | string | Description to be shown in logs |

The logs of the above script will look like this:
Also refer to csv files as suites.

HAR Logging
HTTP request response information summaries can be captured during playback.(HAR refers to HTTP ARchive format of storing request response information)
If enabled, a log step may look like this:
It can be enabled globally or locally.
Globally enable HAR Logging

in userdata.properties
Restart Sahi for this to take effect.
Locally enable HAR Logging
Locally enable or disable HAR logging inside a script using_startHarLogging()
and _stopHarLogging()
