Post action execution

[hss]

In post action of a pass/fail step, how can I go to a step in another sequence file?

To hss -
A post action can only call a sequence in the existing file and it cannot pass parameters either.

To call into a different sequence file, you must use a separate Sequence Call step that uses a precondition that references the pass/fail status of the previous step.

This action cannot be performed directly, as said above. There is however another way to do this using callbacks and in particular using the PostStepFailure Engine Callback. I have attached a link to an example which uses this callback. This example can be used as a starting point.

Hope this helps

Note that using an engine callback can slow down performance because it is called after every step executes. If this post action is an isolated case and does not apply to more than a handful of steps, using an engine callback would not be an ideal solution.
