Print Failure on Label

[logatto]

Hi, at the and of the test, in case of a failure, I have the need to print the failure message on a Label. I have to print: SequenceName, testName, measure, limit high, limit low.

Is there something already implemented in TestStand? What is the correct approach, should I use the "SequeneFilePostStepFailure" callback?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Logatto

If this is my task, i would use the "PostUUT" callback for printing the label.

For collecting the failure stuff during test i would use  "SequeneFilePostStepFailure" callback that you mentioned,

extract what i need and store it in a FileGlobals container.

Hope this helps

Ok, thanks. Some more doubts.

How can I pass to the to "SequeneFilePostStepFailure" callback the information of the step who called it? For Example Step Name. Or more important, how can I know if the type of the step is numeric limit Test, pass/fail, multiple...?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

TestStand will automatically provide the step data.

Check the Parameters of the Callback, there you will find all the stuff you need.

Correct, I did not realize that the parameters are filled in runtime.

The only thing I cannot find is the name of the step who calls the callback. Can you give me a suggestion?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Try to use "Parameters.Step.Name"

Why you won't see it?  Because you are accessing the Object Step. and its Property Name

For more info look in TS-Help under Index "Step"

In this Thread there is a nice Example about this callback
