Test report fails to work only after UUT fails under TS deployment

[jefffffff]

I havea  report that works as each unit is passed through. 7 passes, 7 different reports. If a unit fails the report is created properly. All subsequent untis fail to create the report regardless of pass/fail. If, instead of testing next UUT, I stop and reintialize the test, the reports work fine until a failure occurs. I do not have to close and restart the application, just terminate and restart the test. The report is an XML format. This does not occur when running under my development system only the deploy build when pushed to another golden system. What would cause this and where do we look, we have been unable to isolate the issue.

Hi Jeff,

Are you using a style sheet that you customized, or one of the standard TestStand style sheets? Does the behavior still exist on other sequence files, or on other Report Formats?

The dates and file size match the original so i assume it is the same. I have inherited the program so was not intimately involved in its development. The issue is not the style sheet but the XML report file fails to even be created after the 1st UUT failure occurs. Without the XML report the style sheet does no good. When the test executes the XML file is created and grows as the test runs. Once the failure occurs the report is finalized and the style sheet and report function properly. If you select Next UUT the report never even gets created. If I press terminate and restart the test the report is created and subsequent units get their reports created until a failure occurs. That report is created but again all subsequent report creation fails. The test runs fine regardless of the report genertaion or not. This only occurs from the deployment when installed on a golden machine for production. The development system never exhibits this failure.

Jeff,

It may not hurt to use the File Diff and Merge Tool to be sure that it's not a discrepancy in the sequence file. It's separate from the Sequence Editor and can be found in National Instruments » TestStand » Tools.
