How can I check the status of the Main TestStand sequence?

[trosier]

I have a main TestStand sequence that calls many sub-sequences. I want to make a decision at the end of the test to perform a function or not based on the over all pass/fail criteria of the entire test. If any of the sub-sequences fail I do not want to perform the function as it will make it more time consuming to re-test after the board is fixed. Basically I want to monitor the same status as TestStand monitors for the end of test pass/fail indication. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can add a precondition for the subsequence

RunState.PreviousStep.Result.Error.Occurred == False

I don't quite understand what you are describing. I want to check the status of all subsequences within the main to see if any failed. If all pass then I perform my action, if there is one or more failures I do not.

Hi,

Try RunState.SequenceFailed. If any of the SequenceCalls fail then this will be set.

Or probably better to use

thisContext.SequenceFailed

In either case when I fail one of my three subsequences the SequenceFailed is set to false. I break the test after all three subsequences have run, I then take a look at the variables and the one that I see change is RunState--> Main --> RunState --> SequenceFailed. This one however is not available to put in my evaluation expression when the sequence is idle.

I did some more digging through the expression browser TestStand API Tab and found a variable that works. It is ThisContext.RunState.Main.SequenceFailed. For my evaluation I am using an IF statement and checking to see if this is set to false. If it is then I perform my function. If any of my three subsequences fail this is then set to true and the IF condition is evaluated to false and goes to the End function.

I am trying to use this expression from a custom report sequence which was built using the Create New Process Model Plug-in, and I get the following Error:

Unknown variable or property name ThisContext.RunState.Main. 

Basically I want to append a line at the end of the custom result that displays the overall main test sequences result
