Attachment Screenshots

[willwright]

One thing that seems to be missing is a simple way to attach screenshots (and maybe other simple pics) to test cases. These are really useful when it comes to explaining a test for a gui, or when recording results of a gui failure (error msg etc).

I realise that the external document link could be used, but that only allows for one link and means we have to manage a directory of these somewhere which are intrinsically liked with testlog. Could testlog not let you paste in attachments which it saved to the testlog "database" file system?

thanks.

Currently, other than the link fields, you can also link to images/external documents using file:// and http:// links. These will be displayed as clickable links rather than display the image in the test case.

In the next version of TestLog you will be able to use <img> html tags to add images into test cases that will be displayed through TestLog. You will still need to manage a directory of images though, which we would recommend storing in the database directory (or http:// links for complete consistency between local and exported copies).
