Example

The following example shows the code for a test method to run a report and a request page handler method to test the request page. This example requires that you create the following:

• A test codeunit called SaveAsXML.

• A test method in the test codeunit called TestSaveAsXML.

• A handler method of type RequestPageHandler called ReqPageHandler. This handler method has one parameter called RequestPage of Type TestRequestPage and Subtype Customer – Top 10 List. The RequestPage parameter is specified as VAR and is passed by reference to the handler method.

var
    LabelsFilename: Text;
    DatasetFilename: Text;
begin
    // Add the following code to the TestSaveAsXML test method.  
    LabelsFilename := TemporaryPath + 'MyLabels.xml';  
    DatasetFilename := TemporaryPath + 'MyDataset.xml';  
    Report.Run(111);  
    if not File.Exists(LabelsFilename) then  
      Error('Labels file should exist!');  
    if not File.Exists(DatasetFilename) then  
      Error('Dataset file should exist!');  
      
    // Add the following code to the ReqPageHandler method.  
    RequestPage.Customer.SetFilter("No.", '20000');  
    RequestPage.ChartType.Value('Pie chart');  
    RequestPage.SaveAsXML(LabelsFilename,DatasetFilename);  
end;
