Hidden Custom DataType

[E.Boivin]

Hi,

I'm using TestStand 4.0.1 and I have launched a TestStand 3.x sequence with a Custom Data Type.

I have made some modifications in this container Type and renamed it.

Now, I can't see (and modify) this Data Type anymore ; when I try to create a new Data Type with the same name, TestStand informs me that this type already exists !

What can I do to retrieve this Data Type ?

Hi, I'm back with an explanation !

Because the Data Type should also appear in Station Globals Type I have converted "StationGlobals.ini" to previous INI file format (TestStand 3.x and prior) and I have noticed that in the definition of my Custom Data Type, the location was empty :

...

[DEF, MyNewType]
%LOCATION = ""

...

So I have changed it into :

...

%LOCATION = "UserTypes"

...

Relaunched TS and My Type is now available !!!!

I just cant' explain why in the "StationGlobals.ini" binary file, the location was lost !? So dear TestStand Users TAKE CARE !!!!

Best regards,

Emmanuel
