Could not find type error - unknown or missing type

[LevKL]

Hello,

I have a sequence file created on the TestStand 3.5 version (running on winXP which I don't have at the moment) and I'm trying to use this sequence on my TestStand 4.2 (running on Win7).

The error is (see attached picture) Could not find type 'XML_POPUP' ,unknown or missing type.

I have tried adding a type named XML_POPUP to the MyTypes.ini->Step Types.

Is there a way to load the sequence without a type, I only need to see the steps and extract data for the new sequence I'm building.

I can also view the code of the sequence in NOTEPAD++ , is there a way to extract the data using the this code?

Thank you,

Lev

Lev,

TestStand allows you to define types in different locations. One is in one of the type palette files, another is the sequence file itself.

Since loading the sequence file creates this error, the type is definetly not defined in the sequence file itself.

Therefore i assume that the step type you miss is defined in one of the type palette files from your older TestStand version. Depending on the exact file, you have to import this file into your newer version of TestStand.

hope this helps,
Norbert

Hi,

I have found an .ini file containing the XML_POPUP step type (as seen in the attached picture).

When I'm trying to load the sequence I receive the same error, that the 'XML_POPUP' type is not found.

After loading the .ini file as seen in the picture, do I need to configure something else for the sequence I'm trying to load to locate this type?

Thank you,

Lev

Lev,

i cannot tell you this, you have to test it. It is possible that the sequence file uses other step and data types which are not in the XML_RepStep.ini......

But as far as this step type concerns, it should work now....
