File List

The File List is a dockable panel in the Log File Viewer which lists log files. Double clicking a log file in the file list will open the log file in a new tab in the viewer.

There are several ways that log files can be added to this list. The files displayed are:

• Log files that have been opened using the Open... option either in the File menu or on the toolbar.
• Log files that have been generated in the current session of the parent application (XJRunner / XJDeveloper / XJInvestigator).
• Log files in the logging directory for the project open in the parent application. This is the directory set in the Project management settings for the project.
• Log files added to the list using the Add Files In Folder... button on the File menu or on the toolbar.

Formatted log files

When formatted log files (.xjlog) are added to the file list, each log file shown has sub-entries for each of the test runs stored in the log file.

Each time tests are run in XJRunner and the output is written to a formatted log file, the output is added to a new test run. These test runs are named "Run 1", "Run 2" etc. The start time and date for test runs are also displayed in the file list.

Each test run in a formatted log file is opened in a new tab in the viewer when it is double clicked.

Toolbar buttons

• Open... - launches an open file dialog to select a log file to open.
• Add Files In Folder... - launches the Add Folder To File List dialog.

• Find Files - displays the Find Files Control for the file list.

  Typing in the Find Files textbox in the Find Files Control filters the file list to only display log files with file names that contain the text entered.

  Checking the Only show files generated in current session checkbox will cause only log files that contain test runs from the current session of the parent application to be displayed.

  Hiding the Find Files Control will remove the filter criteria.

• Collapse All - collapses all expanded items in the file list tree.
• Expand All - expands all items in the file list tree.
• Remove - removes the items currently selected in the file list.
• Refresh File Contents - refreshes all formatted log files currently in the file list to display newly generated test runs.
• Order by... - orders all files currently in the file list by the selection in the dropdown. Sorting criteria include file name, when the file was last modified, and when the file was created.

Context menu items
