Hi
In my case , I do run tests which generates log files containing the sequence of TTCN-3 statements executed.
Not necessarily , a fail verdict but i would be interested to be able to open the location of any TTCN statement from the log file.
Now I understand the philosophy of TRex.As you can see , my requirement can be satisfied if TRex allows it to be opened from the external tool.Can it be done in some other way?
""Do you execute tests and like to open the location where a fail verdict was
set? Then, add test execution capabilities to TRex.""
I did not understand "then" part , what exactly u meant and how to do that ?
Did u mean that I should add my tool as new configuration under Run\External tools??
Regards,
Kiran

As I said: The philosophy of an IDE like TRex is different:
we consider it more reasonable to call such tools from within TRex
and than parse back the output of that tool to add e.g. line markers
in the TRex TTCN-3 editor (as we have done for the integration of
the Tau G2/Tester compiler).
If you tell me more about your use case, we might think different.
Is your tool a compiler? (Then the above approach is the right one.)
Do you like to call an editor if a commit to some version control repository
fails due to a commit hook which detects violation of some policy? Then
a proper integration into a version control plug-in of Eclipse would be the
right way.
Do you execute tests and like to open the location where a fail verdict was
set? Then, add test execution capabilities to TRex.
Even if such integration does not exist, Eclipse already allows to call
external tools using the "Run" menu. The only missing thing would be parsing
back the console output of that tool.
Best regards,
Helmut
