Test step details in Result listener

Technical
1

In a ResultListener the OnTeststepRunStart method (and other) has a TestStepRun parameter. I was hoping it would contain properties like ‘IsChild’, ‘HasChilds’ etc. I want my ResultListener to act differently if test step is a ‘top-level’ step vs. is a child step.
How can this be done?

There isn’t a direct way, but you could check the ID or the Hash and compare it the the PlanRun (From OnTestPlanRunStart):

    public Guid TestPlanId;
    public override void OnTestPlanRunStart(TestPlanRun planRun)
    {
        Log.Info("Test plan \"{0}\" started", planRun.TestPlanName);
        TestPlanId = planRun.Id;
    }

    public override void OnTestStepRunStart(TestStepRun stepRun)
    {
        Log.Info("Test step \"{0}\" started", stepRun.TestStepName);
        if(stepRun.Parent == TestPlanId)
        {
            //"Top Level"
        }
        else
        {
            //Child Step
        }          
    }
