Conditional testing for runtime errors in Clean up

[knight2]

Hi all,

I have some code in CleanUp, which I don't want executed if a run time error has occurred in the Main sequence. It is possible to do this? I've noticed there's an option in the RTE window that pops up which allows the program to be terminated without running CleanUp, but I'd still like this to run if the test result is a pass/fail or if the sequence was terminated.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

Bruce

Hi,

You can do this by use of a pre-condition on the steps in you Clean-up. Have a Goto that will check, by use of AllOf, that an error has occurred in the main and if so jump the steps that you dont want to run.

Hi Ray

 

Thanks for your reply. I’m assuming this precondition in CleanUp would need to include a step error check for each statement in the main sequence? Is there any generic parameter I could test instead? I’m just wondering if it’s possible to avoid having to update this precondition, if the main sequence is modified.

Hi,

It probably depends if your Main Steps are set to run Clean-up if an error occurs. 

If it does, you could use RunState.PreviousStep and check whether this has an error condition.

or you could use RunState.SequenceError but I'm not sure when this is updated.

Hi Ray

I just tried on TS4.0 :RunState.SequenceError 

It is depending on your "Handle Error settings" 

It is updated on "Run Cleanup"

and nothing is  done on "Ignore"

Hi Bruce

Try this Example,

It parse the Errors in Cleanup

Note: this is only working on steps with are recored to result

Thanks Ray.

Hi Juergen,

Any chance you could send that routine again in 3.5? Unfortunately, I'm haven't yet upgraded my TestStand.

Thanks & regards

Hi

Try this one

Note: I dont know if a for-loop is running in TS3.5 so just try it .
