type differ not finding type conflict

[ChrisFarmerWIS]

Hi,

I just tried out the batch type differ.  I loaded in all the step type files in the MASTER files stage of the wizard, and then selected the sequence file directory (including sub-directories).  The batch type differ did not find any type conflicts, however I KNOW that the sequence file has a conflict because TestStand tells me so when I try to open it. I reduced the files to the two files in question, and tried various combinations of the locked state etc, but to no avail.

I just tried the single file Type Differ tool, and it actually found the conflcts!

Any hints as to why the batch type differ did not pick up the conflicts? 

Regards

Chris -

What version of TestStand were you attempting to use the Type Differ with (3.1, 3.5, 4.0, 4.1, etc.)? Also, would you happen to have made a backup of the original, bad sequence files that you could provide for us to attempt to reproduce this behavior? It would be very helpful in tracking down whether or not this is a bug in the Type Differ so that we could potentially fix it.

Hi Manooch,

Sorry for the long delay in replying.

We are using TestStand 4.2.

The files have changes since I wrote this post, and it would take a bit of effort to determine which files I actually found the issue with!  Apologies for this, there was a lot going on at the time.

Thanks
