I am trying to write debug lines from my automation script(.trace file) to a text file on local file system. I am using XCode Automation Instrument.
Can anybody guide me on how this is done?

I am writing the JS in the UI automation's Script screen and running the Automation. But I need to provide the results of the Automation in a plane text file.At present, I am extracting fields from from the application and displaying it in the "Log Message" Section of the editor log. But I need to make this more readable to help QA pinpoint the failures. Logging that happens in Editor log is not readable and also it cannot be sent to a Developer to show the steps. Hence I am working on logging debug lines to a Text File.– ShreyasCommented Jun 15, 2013 at 1:40

Please throw some light on a good methodology to accomplish this– ShreyasCommented Jun 15, 2013 at 1:42

At present , you can not get the txt file . You will either get plist file and manually you have to write it into txt file or you can also get result in terminal window , if you wish you can write it into txt file , but that will be one by one .. you can not write all the result at a single go .
/// Get the Results from Instruments.
These are the steps to get the result on Instruments:-
1) In a application go to profile and open the Instruments .
2) Click on Library there and find the Activity Monitor tool .
3) Press the start button . and find out the process name (mostly you have to find out the name of your application there )
4) Now see if there any leaks you will get that red graph there , As I told you yesterday .
5) Now if there is any leaks and you can see the leaks in Instruments then go to ---------> Terminal
6) check your process name and write the command there :- leaks yourprocessname
7) you will get the generated leaks report here .

I am glad it helped you ... but tell me one thing are you writing it into text file one by one manually? Commented Jun 27, 2013 at 4:17

No, I just redirected the Output which comes to Terminal to a TXT file. Do you have any other suggestions to this?– ShreyasCommented Jul 1, 2013 at 18:18
