How to trigger an event at end of macro with hundreds of loops?

Hello,

I have created a macro that goes through a csv file and completes tasks.

I’m wanting to save an error log to my computer after the entire macro is completed, however, when I add the following to the end:

{
“Command”: “localStorageExport”,
“Target”: “log”,
“Value”: “”
}

it asks me to save after EACH loop, which would be hundreds potentially. Just wanting one Final summary basically. Is this possible?

Here is my basic program:

{
“Name”: “DemoCsvReadWithLoop_duplicate/mod”,
“CreationDate”: “2019-3-14”,
“Commands”: [
{
“Command”: “store”,
“Target”: “fast”,
“Value”: “!replayspeed”
},
{
“Command”: “csvRead”,
“Target”: “loopingtues1.csv”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “open”,
“Target”: “{!COL1}", "Value": "" }, { "Command": "comment", "Target": "", "Value": "has opened the administrator backend" }, { "Command": "type", "Target": "name=rsf_backend_password", "Value": "{!COL2}”
},
{
“Command”: “clickAndWait”,
“Target”: “/html/body/div[1]/form/button”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “submit button from firewall, next step goes into main login”
},
{
“Command”: “type”,
“Target”: “id=mod-login-username”,
“Value”: “{!COL3}" }, { "Command": "type", "Target": "id=mod-login-password", "Value": "{!COL4}”
},
{
“Command”: “clickAndWait”,
“Target”: “//[@id=“form-login”]/fieldset/div[3]/div/div/button",
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “submit button from main login”
},
{
“Command”: “click”,
“Target”: “link=Extensions”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “clickAndWait”,
“Target”: “link=Plugins”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “click”,
“Target”: “id=filter_search”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “type”,
“Target”: “id=filter_search”,
“Value”: “System - Update Notification”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “this is searching for the specific system update plugin”
},
{
“Command”: “clickAndWait”,
“Target”: "//[@id=“j-main-container”]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/button”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “submit button to search”
},
{
“Command”: “click”,
“Target”: “id=cb0”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “this is the checkbox for the plugin”
},
{
“Command”: “click”,
“Target”: “//*[@id=“toolbar-unpublish”]/button”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “this is the unpublish button”
},
{
“Command”: “click”,
“Target”: “link=User Menu”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “clickAndWait”,
“Target”: “link=Logout”,
“Value”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “comment”,
“Target”: “”,
“Value”: “logs out of admin backend”
}
]
}

In thsi case do not use the loop method, but use While to read the CSV file line by line. See this demo macro: DemoCsvReadWithWhile (it ships with Kantu)

Then, at the end of the while loop, you can save the log file. Or use the command line.

Ok will try tying it in that way.

Also, the current way of timing out is nice when encountering an error. Is there anything I need to know going the While route? I basically want this program to timeout after hitting an error, log it, then just continue to the next loop. I see some errorignore stuff in the While macro, is this necessary?

Thank you,

Steph

Yes - otherwise the errors will stop the macro. Or use the command line: UI Automation Open-Source Selenium IDE plus additional features, iMacros alternative
