Selenium RC: Create Log Files

This C# method provides you to create verification results log in HTML format, you can change the format according to your need also it would take the screen shots of the FAILED log(s) and saves in a drive.


public static void Logs(string Logtext, string Status)
        {
            ISelenium Selenium = GetSeleniumInstance();
            string LogMessage;
            string StatusTest = Status.ToUpper();
            string time = Time_Stamp();
            String DriveName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LogDriveName"]; //  in app.config file.
            String ErrorFileName = String.Concat(DriveName, ":\\Error_History.html");
            try
            {               
                String logsFileName = string.Empty;
                switch (StatusTest)
                {
                    case "PASSED":
                        logsFileName = String.Concat(DriveName, ":\\Passed_Results.html");
                        LogMessage = string.Format("{0},\"  \"{1},\"  \"{2}", Logtext, time, StatusTest);
                        break;
                    case "FAILED":
                        logsFileName = String.Concat(DriveName, ":\\Failed_Results.html");
                        string error = Generate_Unique_variable("Error") + ".png";
                        Selenium.CaptureScreenshot(DriveName + ":\\Selenium_Screenshots\\" + error);
                        LogMessage = string.Format("{0},\"  \"{1},\"  \"{2}", Logtext, time, StatusTest);
                        break;
                    default:
                        logsFileName = String.Concat(DriveName, ":\\Failed_Results.html");
                        LogMessage = string.Format("{0},\"  \"{1},\"  \"{2}", Logtext, time, StatusTest);
                        break;
                }
                WriteLogs(logsFileName, LogMessage);//write logs to appropriate log file.
                WriteLogs(ErrorFileName, LogMessage);// write all the logs to error history
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
               WriteLogs(string.Concat(DriveName, ":\\Failed_Results.html"),String.Concat(ex.Message,"FAILED"));
            }              
        }


//  WriteLogs Method

private static void WriteLogs(string FileName, String LogMessage)
        {
            //Delete if the file is old
            if (File.GetLastAccessTime(FileName) < DateTime.Now.Subtract(new TimeSpan(24, 0, 0)))
            //if the file does not exist, GetLastAccessTime returns minimum datetime value
            {
                File.Delete(FileName);                
            };
            LogMessage = String.Concat(LogMessage, "\r\n");
            //Append The Message To The File
            using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(FileName, true))
            {
                file.WriteLine(LogMessage);
                file.Close();
            }
        }

You can call this generic method by using:
Logs("The Log generated.", "PASSED"); or
Logs("The Log not generated.", "FAILED");
