Operator message

The set_operator_message function is intended for sending messages to the operator. Operator messages can be used before, after, and during tests.

set_operator_message can be used in conjunction with images. To do this, the user can set the argument image with the ImageComponent class.

The default message to the operator blocks further execution of the code, but the user can set the argument block=False and the function will display the message and continue execution of the test. In this case, the user can clear the operator message with the clear_operator_message function.

The clear_operator_message is intended for clearing current operator message.

how to start

1. Launch CouchDH instance.
2. Create a directory <dir_name> with the files described below.
3. Launch hardpy run <dir_name>.

conftest.py

Contains settings and fixtures for all tests:

• The finish_executing function generates a report and saves it to the database.
• The test_end_message function shows message about completing of testing.
• The fill_list_functions_after_test function populates a list of actions to be performed post-test. You may rename this function as you want.

If the report database doesn't exist, the report won't be saved, and an error message will be displayed to the operator. Otherwise, a success message will be shown indicating successful report saving.

import pytest
from hardpy import CouchdbConfig, CouchdbLoader, get_current_report, set_operator_message

def finish_executing():
    report = get_current_report()
    try:
        if report:
            loader = CouchdbLoader(CouchdbConfig(port=5986))
            loader.load(report)
            set_operator_message(msg="Saving report was successful", title="Operator message")
    except RuntimeError as e:
        set_operator_message(msg='The report was not recorded with error: "' + str(e) + '"', title="Operator message")

def test_end_message():
    set_operator_message(msg="Testing completed", title="Operator message")
