Error Checking

Me again!

I have a general question on Error checking.

What kind of error checking Macro Scheduler has? Is there something available that would look like an 'Expect' statement in TCL ?

Or some process that could look in realtime in the log viewer of my tested app that could tell me if a new log has been generated ?

In general, what is suppose to happen when my tested app craps-out ?

I did a simple test by changing the 'WaitWindowOpen>' value in one of my script and the script continued, after a small delay, as if everything was fine. Do we have some controls to check these things ?

Thanks a lot!

MS has a lot of ways to make scripts reliable, like using IfFileExists> IfDirExists> IfWindowOpen>, checking for ##EOF## when doing ReadLn>, checking result variables for those commands that have them, etc.

WaitWindowOpen and WaitWindowClosed will wait for ever unless you have specified a timeout (WW_TIMEOUT). If you have specified a timeout you can check the value of WW_RESULT to see whether the command timed out or was successful.
