Hello, when I use KeywordUtil.markFailed() method, it shows only first fail in execution log. I am wondering if it is possible to log FAILED message each time I call markFailed().

Example:

Only first occurrence of markFailed() can be seen. It’s hard to determine in long tests how many markFailed() methods were invoked. How can I solve such a case? Thank you.

I believe I found a solution for such a problem. There is a class called KeywordLogger, which can write into a log. So just create an instance of it and call logFailed() method.

`KeywordLogger log = new KeywordLogger()`  
`log.logFailed("Failed 1")`  
`log.logFailed("Failed 2")`  
`log.logFailed("Failed 3")`

There are 3 FAILED level logs after execution. And that’s it. 🙂

Hi Hung,

yes, I have set up FailureHandling as Continue on failure, so the test case would finish even when there is some failure. I used markFailed on purpose, because there is also markFailedAndStop method, which makes the test stop immediately.

Even this sample test has finished. Please see whole log: (sorry, img tag suddenly stopped working here)

All markFailed methods were invoked, but only **Failed 1** message is shown in a log. I’d like to view all 3 messages, this is my original question. Thanks!
