Hi, I’m wondering if this is as intended, and if so is there a way to do what I’m trying to?
I have created a type results that should match a specific string value (which has a display attribute set to “StringValue”). In a test step, if I call Results.Publish(someResult) where someResult is that type the the CSV result listener outputs something like this:
| Name | StepDuration | PlanName | ResultType | Result | Expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MyStepName | 0.0079539 | TestPlanName | String Value | ResultString | ExpectedString |
I use this multiple times throughout a test plan and have the CSV listener configured wth a path of Results/<PN>_<DUT ID>_<ResultName>_<Date>_<Verdict>.csv. I landed on this format because using “ResultType” rather than “ResultName” results in a file with “TBD” in the name.
This normally works fine for my use case, but now I am trying to create a TestStep that publishes multiple results and I’m trying to figure out if it is possible to override the “Name” column. Calling Results.Publish("MyIntendedName", someResult) results in a CSV file with these contents:
| Name | StepDuration | PlanName | ResultType | Result | Expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MyStepName | 0.0266622 | TestPlanName | MyIntendedName | ResultString | ExpectedString |
Rather than overriding the “name” column, the “name” parameter in the Publish method changes the contents of the Result Type column. In addition, it also appears to affect the ResultName macro string so now each of these results is stored in a different file rather than being appended to the existing file for results of that type.
Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to, which is to override the step name in the “Name” column?
