Description not updated when using post action

Hi All.
 
I have a problem when debugging.
 
Try to see the attached seq, if you run it as it is and choose a value so the step is failing, then you can see that the step is not showing the result of the step (remember to use "Run MainSequence"), if you then remove the post action to default (Goto Next Step), and then run again, then it is updating the screen, and you can see the result.
 
It is logic that it continuous when "Goto next step" is chosen, but it is a problem that you cant see the result when "terminate" is chosen... I have tried to use "IncChangeCount" in my steps so description should update, but it doesn't help.
 
What can I do about this ???
 
Kind regards Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The trouble is the post action is done before filling the step results, therefore if you are terminating in the post action then the filling of the step results is not going to happen.

See Reference Manual, Chapter 3-14, action number 26 and 27.

Thanks for that Ray...

Nice reply.... look in the fucking manual :-).... but you said it in a nice way.

Can you see a nice workaround...... I don't want to set the step post action to "goto next step"....

Regards Thomas
