Need an advice

Post by lebrocoli » Mon Mar 03, 2008 10:15 pm

Hi,

This is kind of off-topic but here it is:

I am using Macro Scheduler to run my GUI automation scripts and all is good from a Macro Scheduler perpective.

Now, overtime when MS is running, there is a strange thing that happens in my app and I would like to record that so I could look at it later and verify what is going on.

So what I want to do is this: While MS is running, record a movie of what is going on the desktop or on my gui if you want. Then, on the morning, I could just open the movie file and fast forward until I see the problem happening.

Is there an app out there to do that?

Thanks!!

Have you ever tried turning on Logging for your process? You can usually figure out what has happened from looking at the log file. You might also add a screen capture (it's a Macro Scheduler command you can code) from time to time in your code so that you "see" what the screen looked like the night before...
