If the Recovery Setting has been set to "On Every Step" then it will "ping" back and forth to check if the pop-up occurs and if it does then it will perform the specified action.

Programmatically it is done this way,

Code:

Recovery.Activate

Hi Ramesh,
Associate this recovery scenario with your script using File->Settings->Recovery-> Add this QRS file & set "On Every Step", then this recovery will be triggered.

Thanks for the reply
so u mean to say that unlesss i give recovery.Actvate command the recovery scenarios wont get activated even i have added them in the settings

Is there any way to invoke these recovery scenarios through the code instead of adding them into the setting -> recovery

thanks

Well, If you have a recovery scenario for pop up then run AUT under the condition that the pop will be appeared and then you will see the recovery scenario get activated and run.

For VBS file : we can execute the file using ExecuteFile which will load the library file
dont we have the same mechanism for QRS (do we always need to associate the QRS from the GUI to the test )

Hi Ramesh,
I don't think we can add repository at runtime as we do for library file. but this can be done without from the GUI if you are launching your test using a vbscript.

Code:

Dim App
Set App = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
App.Test.Settings.Recovery.Enabled = True
App.Test.Settings.Recovery.SetActivationMode "OnEveryStep"
App.Test.Settings.Recovery.Add "C:\QTP\Recovery\Navigation.qrs", "Navigation", 1
App.Test.Settings.Recovery.Item(1).Enabled = True

Saket -
Repositories can also be added during runtime using the "RepositoriesCollection" Object.

Sorry Ramesh, That was Typo, what I meant was recovery instead of repository.
Thanks for pointing out, Basanth.
