_log($message[, $logType[, $imagePath]])

Arguments
$messagestring Message to log
$logTypestring optional Specifies the type of log statement. FAILURE will mark the step as failed (in red) and also fail the script. The other modes display the step in different colors. Can be one of "INFO", "SUCCESS", "FAILURE", "CUSTOM", "CUSTOM1", "CUSTOM2", "CUSTOM3", "CUSTOM4", "CUSTOM5" Defaults to "INFO"
$imagePathstring optional Path to image file which will be logged along with the message. Relative paths will be resolved relative to current script. Introduced since Sahi Pro 6.0.0

Returns
null

Details

_log("Current user is " + $user); // Will log as plain text

_log("Current user is " + $user, "CUSTOM1"); // Will log in a different color

_log("Current user is " + $user, "INFO", "tiger.png"); // Will also add tiger.png in logs.

  _click(_link("does not exist"));
}catch($e){
  _logException($e); // Logs the exception, but does not fail
}

  _logExceptionAsFailure($e); // Logs the exception, and fails,
   // and in the logs, points to the original line as source of failure.

Available for modes: Browser | Windows | Java | Android | iOS | SAP | AI Assist

_logOutput($message)

Arguments
$messagestring Message to log

Returns
null

Details

_logOutput allows concatenating multiple output messages during a script execution, and display the concatenated string in the script and suite reports.

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

6.2.0NANA7.5.07.5.09.0.0NA

Available for modes: Browser | Windows | Java | Android | iOS | SAP | AI Assist

_artifact($artifactPath[, $label])

Arguments
$artifactPathstring 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.
$labelstring optionalLabel to add to the artifacts. If the label is not specified its default value will be artifactPath.

Returns
null

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.

_artifact("data.xls"); // Logging artifact: data.xls

_artifact("../myartifacts/*.txt", "all"); // Logging artifact: all


Masking logs

_setValue(_textbox("user"), "test");
_maskLogs("Password Information start");
_setValue(_password("password"), "secret");
_unmaskLogs("Password Information end");
_click(_submit("Login"));

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.

$descriptionstring Description to be shown in logs

Returns
null

Details

Demarcates a testcase (a logical boundary of steps)
dangerDEPRECATED: Use Scenario Framework or _runUnitTests instead.

$t3.start();
_assertExists(_textbox("total"));
_assert(_isVisible(_textbox("total")));
_assertEqual("1150", _textbox("total").value);
$t3.end();


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

Add
har_logging.enabled=true
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() APIs.

9.0.0NANANANANANA

Available for modes: Browser

_getHarLogs()

Arguments
None

Returns
array of objectsAn array of HAR logs

Details

It returns an array of HAR logs accumulated while executing the steps between _startHarLogging and _stopHarLogging. Every HAR log object has following attributes:

  • requestMethod : returns the HTTP request method
  • requestUrl : returns the requested url
  • requestQueryString : returns an array of query parameters in the requested url
  • requestHeaders : returns the request headers as an array
  • requestData : returns the request body as an array
  • responseStatus : returns the HTTP response status code
  • responseStatusText : returns the HTTP response status message
  • responseHeaders : returns the response headers as an array
  • responseBodySize : returns the size of response body in bytes
  • time : returns the total duration from the start of the request to receiving the entire response.
var $harLogs = _getHarLogs();
for (var $i=0; $i<$harLogs.length; $i++) {
	var $harLog = $harLogs[$i];
	_log( "Requested url : " + $harLog.requestUrl );
	if( $harLog.requestUrl.indexOf("https://www.sample.com/test") != -1 ) {
		_log( "HTTP request method : " + $harLog.requestMethod );

		var $parameters = $harLog.requestQueryString;
		for( var $j=0; $j < $parameters.length; $j++) {
			_log( "Query parameter " + $j + " : name=" + $parameters[$j].name + ", value=" + $parameters[$j].value);
		}

		_log( "Response status code : " + $harLog.responseStatus );
		_log( "Response status message : " + $harLog.responseStatusText );
		_log( "Size of response body in bytes : " + $harLog.responseBodySize );
		_log( "Total duration : " + $harLog.time );
		break;
	}
}


info
    Case 1: If _getHarLogs is invoked after _startHarLogging and _stopHarLogging, then it gets the log accumulated while executing steps between _startHarLogging and _stopHarLogging.
    Case 2: If _getHarLogs is invoked between _startHarLogging and _stopHarLogging, then it gets the log accumulated while executing steps between _startHarLogging and _getHarLogs.
    Case 3: If there are multiple _startHarLogging and _stopHarLogging pairs, it gets the HAR logs corresponding to the recent _startHarLogging and _stopHarLogging APIs.
    Case 4: If _startHarLogging API is not there in the script while HAR logging is enabled from userdata properties, then it gets the HAR logs accumulated while executing steps between the first step and the step for _getHarLogs.
    Case 5: If _startHarLogging API is not there in the script and also HAR logging is disabled in the userdata properties file, the it returns empty string.

warning If the domain in a request URL is different than the domain of the invoking page, then the HAR log for this request will not be captured. To solve this problem, add this domain to the current script session using _addToSession API before this request gets sent.
