processing run-time error

[schumi]

For a call to a vi (step Action) which fails (volontary), I would like to analyse the status. If failed, and if the error msg is the one expected, also I would like to consider the test as "Passed". How to proceed?

Hi Schumi,

To modify the status and error message info out of your step you can use runstate property like this :

- For status :
(if your step is in Setup group change "Main" to "Setup" in the following expression)
RunState.Sequence.Main["name of your step"].Result.Status

- For error msg:
RunState.Sequence.Main["name of your step"].Result.Error.Msg

You can evaluate the error message and change the status using the previous expression in a "statement" step.

I hope this help.
