report failure chain

[shadp]

I have look at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/4DF435CA73213F7C86256A56006CA55E?OpenDocument to add every failure to the header of a report. The example was for TestStand 2.0, I am using TestStand 3.1 and the example does not work. I have put break points in the reportgen_html.seq and the code is executing propperly. It is gathering the list of all failed tests but the final report only contain the first failure. How do I get the full failure chain to appear in the header of my UUT report?

Hi,

I tried the file that was posted on the developers zone as well as the one you attached to your post and both worked just as expected. I believe that you may not be calling the correct Reportgen_html. seq. Your sequence may still be calling the one included in the NI folder instead of the User folder. You need to make sure that you copy ALL folders from the NI directory to the User directory. Then make sure that you select your process model in Station Options to be the one from the User directory. Also, you may want to place a breakpoint inside the modified Reportgen_html.seq so that you can be sure that it actually goes into the correct file.

Thanks,

I downloaded the sequence in the link. But i don't have the same path defined, instead i have the path C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.5\Components\User\Models. I copied the sequence i downloaded to here but it didn't work.

I had the same experience using TestStand 4.1.1 when I tried to modify the Failure Chain to include all steps.  The example did not exactly work as expected, with a bit more investigation ( and frustration ) I had to the following.  First, I followed all the steps in the link to chain the Failure Chain.

Then in order to get all failure steps I had to skip the step called 'Update Failure Stack' in the sequence 'PutOneResultInReport'.  See attachment.

Plus I skipped the step 'Remove Non-Critical Failure Stack Items' in the AddReportHeader sequence.

As you have may already solved your issue, let me know if the above changes work.

Thank you,
