Errors

The command line program will return an ERRORLEVEL to the operating system which can be analyzed by a calling program to determine what happened. The following table describes the errors.

Code	Description	Returned as Script Status in output file
0	No errors. All scripts were executed successfully.	Yes
1	Fatal error. The command line program could not execute at all. One reason could be that a language resource file is missing	No
2	Failed to create the Silk Test COM object. Check that the COM object has been registered. Note that running Silk Test.exe registers the COM object.	No
3	DSN, username, or password incorrect. For additional information, see Prerequisites to Run STW.EXE with Silk Central.	No
4	No script name was specified.	No
5	The specified project was not found.	No
6	The specified script was not found.	No
7	The specified run environment was not found.	No
8	Invalid script parameters. Too few or too many script parameters were specified, or a parameter was not found.	No
9	The script did not complete execution. It may have stopped before it reached the end but not a result of a playback error.	Yes
10	The script failed with playback errors.	Yes
11	The script failed to execute or the script contained verifications that failed.	Yes
12	Multiple issues have occurred. For example, a script failed and a script playback error was detected.	No
13	This is returned if the command line could not be processed due to the -file option. For example, if the file does not exist, or there is file recursion.	No
14	There are various different ways that the command line window can be stopped or shut down. `Ctrl+C`, `Ctrl+Break`, logging out of Windows, or shutting down Windows will all close or stop the command line. These will be caught and this error code will be returned. Closing the window will also stop the script, log out of the product, and unload SilkTest.EXE.	No
15	Only one of the viewportwidth and the viewportheight were specified.	No
16	The viewportname was specified together with the viewportwidth and the viewportheight.	No

Checking for the ERRORLEVEL Using a Batch File

There are a number of ways to check for the ERRORLEVEL in a batch file. The following example describes one approach.

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REM Define the error codes that can be returned by STW.EXE
REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SET eNoError=0
SET eFatalError=2
SET eUnableToCreateComObject=2
SET eLoginFailed=3
SET eNoScriptSpecified=4
SET eProjectNotFound=5
SET eScriptNotFound=6
SET eRunEnvNotFound=7
SET eInvalidScriptParameters=8
SET eScriptDidNotComplete=9
SET eScriptPlaybackError=10
SET eScriptFailed=11
SET eMultipleProblems=12
SET eCommandCouldNotBeProcessed=13
SET ePrograTerminatedByUser=14
SET eInvalidViewportSize=15
SET eInvalidViewportParameters=16

REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REM Run STW.EXE
REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
@ECHO ON
STW.EXE -username Admin -dsn STW-Scratch -script ScriptNotFound
@ECHO. 
@ECHO OFF

REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REM Anything greater than 12 is unknown, can be caused if the command 
REM processor cannot find STW.EXE.
REM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    GOTO END
