Display XML report with everything collapsed?

[1984]

Hi,

Reports about a passing tests open with all steps collapsed, reports about a failing test. If I open one which failed then it opens with all the passing steps collapsed and all the failing steps expanded.

I'd like the report to open with all steps collapsed no matter if they passed or failed. Is it possible? (I used the standard expand.xls stylesheet)

thanks.

Hey 1984, 

Below is some information on the style sheets included with TestStand

Also, another forum post with similar interest

Each has slightly different functionality and can be selected in model plugins. They are all open source and can be edited if you are comfortable working in ATML. It takes a little digging, but you with some craft Ctrl+F you can find the sections you want to modify. We have no documentation to explain the inner workings, so please save a copy before working with the code. 

Cheers!

Hey Clint,

yeah, I'd really need to stick with the expand.xsl, because that what my customer wants to see. I have found a topic from 2005 where an application engineer did this modification and attached the file. Unfortuntely the changes were not commented, so there were no hints for me where to look in my stylesheet and of course the file is more than 10 years old, so I cant reuse it.

too bad...

Hey 1984, 

Unfortunately, my XML editing is about as good as the next guys so I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help too much in the editing department. As I mentioned before Ctrl+F has helped me work through these sheets and discover the areas to make changes. Although we have no documentation on the style sheets themselves the code is notated and helps explain what a lot of the sections are doing. 

Hope this helps!
