How to create an execption in testplan?

[OnlyOne]

Hello,

is there a way to create an exeption with the onbard steps of teststand?

Reason: I am using a custom OPUI and want to test its behaviour when an exception in the testplan occurs.

Thanks

What do you consider to be an "exception"?

That term does not exist in the API of TS. What i think comes close to your 'exception' is the occurrance of a runtime error. There is a UI Message called UIMsg_RuntimeError (code 45) which should do something close to what you are looking for.

Hello,

simply use a post expression for the step which should generate an error:

Step.Result.Error.Code = 42,
Step.Result.Error.Msg = "Forced error message",
Step.Result.Error.Occurred = true

It will cause a UIMsg_RuntimeError to be sent to your custom user interface.
