Issue/Introduction

How can custom error codes be created for use within the OTK?

Environment

All supported versions of the OTK

Resolution

 

1. Edit the policy #OTK Fail With Error Message 

2. Turn on comments and expand the 'custom' section. There is a sample branch you can copy and paste (All assertions must evaluate to true). Copy this branch and paste it inside the At least one branch 

3. Change the rule for the compare assertion to something in the range of 700-899. In my example I will use 700. 

4. Change the error message in the error.msg variable to the custom message. 

 

You can now utilize the 'OTK Fail with error message' assertion with the new error code
