[ptt-users] Logging

[Kyle Bell]

Paul,

You'll notice at the bottom of the file there is a line that reads:

  test = SunCom102556142( 1, 'console file ', 0,

This line is actually doing something like instantiating an object named
'test' with the definition of the class 'SunCom102556142' and passing in
parameters as part of this instantiation.  The first parameter is 1, the
second is 'console file ', the third is 0 and so on continued on the
next line of your file.

Toward the top of the file, you can find another line that reads:

  def __init__( self, debuglevel = 0, logto="console",

This function defines actions that occur during the instantiation and
also defines the parameters which may be passed in.  The very first
parameter in any definition is always a pointer to self (this object),
the second begins defining the 'visible' parameters which are passed in.
The first of these visible parameters is called 'debuglevel' and it has
a default value of 0 as defined above in the __init__ function.  When
you create the test object in the first line described above you are
passing in a value of 1 for the debuglevel value.  To get more detail in
your debug logs, you can specify a number up to 3. In this case the line
would look like this before you run your test case:

  test = SunCom102556142( 3, 'console file ', 0,

It appears as though you've managed to change the log level for this log
to be displayed at level 3 in your tearDown function:

  self.log( 3, "test: tearDown" )

What self.log() does (defined in agentbase.py module, class agentbase)
is hook off of your debuglevel parameter in the object and print for the
specified level and less.  Hence the previously mentioned line will only
be displayed in your console and file output at loglevel = 3 and the
text which will be displayed is:

  test: tearDown

While I have your attention, I'd like to mention that I find more
flexibility and more opportunity in providing verification in your test
cases by avoiding the recording tool and actually learning jython syntax
and writing your own test case code.  It is a very flexible and powerful
medium given that you can import any java API interface and use it at
whim and TestMaker provides a terrific interface to be able to develop
jython test scripts or programs if you will.  You can use your
imagination as to what might be accomplished with this interaction.  I
also appreciate the DBUtil functionality provided by the maxq portion of
TestMaker.  It is a very easy interface into databases such as mysql
which can allow you to verify the end result of potential application
interactions.

Hopefully this enhances your comprehension of how this test case works.

Happy Testing!

Kyle
