Report Tab showing Cleanup Test results

[mrbean]

We're running with TS 4.0 (VIs in LV 8.5).  We've customized the Operator Interface so that the Execution View and Report View are contained in the same tab.  Before now, we really didn't use the Cleanup section of the sequence file.  However, as our test evolved, we realized the need to guarantee certain predictable shutdown.  Anyway, when we run our tests (we have the report set to on-the-fly) the tests in Main show up in the execution tab and display pass/fail.  When a subsequence is called, the execution tab lists those (sub)tests and their results, as expected.  The problem is that we have a couple of things we do in Cleanup, and when the test ends, the execution tab displays the results of the things that were done in Cleanup.  We'd like the test results from Main to show up at the end so that the user can see what passed/failed without having to scroll through the report.  Is there a way to do this?

Hello mrbean,

Could you clarify what you are looking at?  Are you looking at the statuses that show in the steps tab while the sequence runs?  Or are you actually looking at the report after it is generated?  And are you calling subsequences in your cleanup group?  Thanks!

Yes, I'm looking at the statuses that show in the steps tab while the sequence runs.

In my main sequence cleanup, I call no subsequences.  However, I have several subsequence steps that do call subesequences in their cleanup.

Hello mrbean,

I am not seeing the same behavior that you describe.  The execution pointer should always follow the steps in the currently executing sequence.  If your MainSequence cleanup step group does not call any subsequences, then the execution pointer should not leave the MainSequence.  Furthermore, when I do place a subsequence in my cleanup step group, the execution pointer still returns to the MainSequence from which the subsequence was called once it is finished executing.  So I have been unable to reproduce this issue.

However, if you simply want to disable tracing into the Cleanup step group, you can go to Configure > Station Options and uncheck the "Allow Tracing into Setup/Cleanup" option.  I hope that helps.
