I am currently using Teststand 2010, I have a sequence in the Cleanupk the "terminate" button. I have tried all the precondition that I know and still unable to skip the step whenever the sequence is terminated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am currently using Teststand 2010, I have a Step sequence in the Cleanup and I want to skip that step whenever a user click the "Terminate" button. I have tried all the precondition that I know, but still unable to skip the step. Is there any precondition/Post Action I could use to skip the step when I terminate the sequnce module? Any help would be greatly appreciated please see picture below.

Thanks,

WJ

Use a statement step at the beginning of your Cleanup step group.  In it put:

RunState.Execution.GetStates(LocalsExecutionRunState, Locals.TerminationState)

You will have to create both the locals as numbers.

Then in your precondition you can say:

Locals.TerminationState == 1

Refer to the TestStand help for more information on that method and to look at the different state meanings:

ExecutionTerminationStates Enumeration
The Execution.GetStates method returns one of these values to indicate whether the execution is terminating. If the execution is terminating, these values indicate how it is terminating.

ExecTermState_Aborting–(Value: 4) TestStand is aborting the running execution.
ExecTermState_KillingThreads–(Value: 5) TestStand is ending the threads in the execution.
ExecTermState_Normal–(Value: 1) The execution is not terminating.
ExecTermState_Terminating–(Value: 2) TestStand is terminating the running execution.
ExecTermState_TerminatingInteractive–(Value: 3) TestStand is terminating the running interactive execution.

Hope this helps,

Here is an expression you can use as the step precondition without the need to make other changes:

#NoValidation,  // suppress the analyzer error for the non-existence of the temporary variable

Locals.SetValNumber("_terminationState", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, 0), // create a temporary variable
RunState.Execution.GetStates(0, Locals._terminationState ),  // get the termination state

(Locals._terminationState == ExecTermState_Terminating && ( Locals.DeleteSubProperty("_terminationState", PropOption_NoOptions), True))  ?  False : True
