namespace RanorexTest
{
    class Program

        [STAThread]
        public static int Main(string[] args)
        {

            Keyboard.AbortKey = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Pause;

	        Report.AttachLogger(rbLog);	
               //----------
	        error = TestSuiteRunner.Run(typeof(Program), 
                     Environment.CommandLine);
            }
            catch (Exception e)

• Step 2: Recompile the solution

• Step 3: Run your tests. It will now start outputting real-time logs to text file.

Viewing the output

The Bonsaih display should automatically launch showing the real-time log.

Configuring RB plugin

RB plugin does not have a config file. Instead you specify the configuration by setting RBLogger() input parameters.

• input 1: The output file. If the file or folder does not exist, they will be created. Screenshots are written to the same folder.
• input 2: Automatically launch Bonsaih (true/false).
• input 3: Take screenshots on Passed verifications
• input 4: Take screenshots on Warning
• input 5: Take screenshots on Error

Example:

 RBLogger rbLog = new RBLogger(@"C:\Test\MyLog2.txt", 
                        false, true, false, false);
 Report.AttachLogger(rbLog);	

RB plugin as a developer tool

Overview

RB plugin is a great developer tool because it lets you create structured output on the Bonsaih display that is easy to read when debugging your scripts. It lets you create tree structures, attach files and screenshots, color-code text and add QA icons. Bonsaih becomes your new Console window which updates in real-time, viewable remotely on another computer, contain screenshots and file attachments, etc.

Example

// Get an instance of the current file object
RBfile log = RBfile.Instance();
        	
// Start writing debug log
// Note: these logs will be appear together with 
// Ranorex generated logs on Bonsaih display
//
log.WriteLine("line 1");
log.Blue().WriteLine("line 2");
log.WriteLine("line 3");
log.Pass().Green().Screenshot().WriteLine("this step passed");
log.Red().Fail().Screenshot().WriteLine("this step failed");
log.Screenshot().Error().Pink().WriteLine("error icon displayed");

Viewing the output

The output is viewable on Bonsaih display. It is updated in real-time.
