hi and thanks,

I knew this one. But - where canI get the log Folder Name via script?

    I think the Log file is always saved to the Log folder in the Project folder. Maybe someone can correct me, but I don't think there is any way to change that. So you can use Project.Path to get the project folder, which will give you the drive which log files are stored on. Then use the statement baxatob provided to get the Free Space for that drive. Something like this in python:

     

    aqFileSystem.GetDriveInfo(Project.Path.split('\\')[0]).FreeSpace

     

     

    Edit: tristaanogre's solution is much better.

      Actually, you can specify a different folder for the log.  If you double click on your project in the project explorer and then select the properties tab, you can do this:

       

      Log.Path should be the best place to get the path of the test log.
