Question

Currently, I’m running all selenium scripts in my test suite (written by Selenium Ruby Webdriver) at one time by using rake gem in “Start Command Prompt with Ruby” terminal.

To do this I have to create a file with name “rakefile.rb” with below content and just call “rake” in my terminal: (I have known this knowledge based on the guide of a person in my previous post how to export results when running selenium ruby webdriver scripts to output files from command prompt ruby window).

task :default do
    $stdout = File.new('console.out', 'w')

    $stdout.sync = true


    FileList['test*.rb'].each { |file|
    begin
      ruby file

     rescue

      puts "The following tests reported unexpected behavior:"
          puts "#{file} \n"
     end
     }
end

However, I do not know how to modify “rakefile.rb” to be able to export the content of executing each failed tests (that being displayed on my Terminal) to each output file ? It means that I expect the content of executing each my script will be written to output files instead of displaying on my Ruby terminal (ex: when I’m running the test script “test_GI-1.rb”, then the content of executing this script will be written to an output file “test_GI-1.rb.out” instead of showing in my Terminal.

I modified my “rakefile.rb” to something like ruby file >> test.rb.out, but it does not work at all (this thing only works when I type directly the thing like ruby test.rb >> output.out on my Ruby Terminal). Anybody please guide me a way. Thanks so much.

I have not tried this out, but I guess this should work

task :default do
FileList['test*.rb'].each { |file|
 begin
   system("ruby #{file} > #{file}.log")
  rescue
   puts "The following tests reported unexpected behavior:"
   puts "#{file} \n"
  end
}
end

task :default do
    logfile.new("console.out", "w")
    FileList['test*.rb'].each { |file|
     begin
       system("ruby #{file} > #{file}.log")
      rescue
       logfile.puts("The following tests reported unexpected behavior:")
       logfile.puts("#{file} \n")
      end
      }
end
