Stopping Sequence From Failing

[AllanIL]

I was curious as to whether not there is a way to pull the latest results of a reiterated step or sequence. For an example if I have a step or sequence that fails and I then use a pop up message to return to that step and I pass it, I want the step to record a pass. However, in Teststand the Sequence or Step will fail even if it passes on the reiteration. Is there a way to prevent this or just pull the most recent status of the step or sequence?

Hi

Maybe this old thread will be interresting.

Here you have to posibility to repeat a fail sequence one more AND before repeating you will get a report of excatly that sequence.

In the example there a some expressions for "resetting".

OK I am honest: repeating is a really strange stuff.

But setting failed to passed via Messagebox is absolutely strange.

I am curious about this behaviour.

Hi j_dodek,

I have reviewed the post that you have sent me and I was curious if there was just a way to clear a failed step. The idea here is that the user has failed a step due to a mis-measurement and to allow them to re-enter a measurement without the failure reporting. They would fail the step, then follows a logic if-statement, which returns them back to instructional dialogs and then back to the step to repeat. This way the user's screen won't show a Fail for the Sequence and would show a Pass for the Sequence and Step.

Hi AllanIL

this was done in example. It is repeating a failed step 

with following conditions: Step must be a SequenceCall and this step must be inside the MainSequence.

If you get rid of the conditions it should "work" for all kind of steps.

Hi j_dodek,

I had errors running the sequences, could you possbily send me your sequence? I also cannot have the sequence repeat any given failed step, but rather specific ones I desinate as I have a series of subsequences called in the main sequence.

Hi

Seems Version III was not working correctly.

I have updated it. now on my maschine (TS2016) it is running.

Just copy SequenceFilePostStepFailure to your SequnceFile and all SequenceCall from MainSequence were repeatable.

Hi j_dodek,

I am working in TS 2014, both sequences were saved in TS 2016 and I cannot open them.

Ups,

now it should work.

Small modification: After 2 failed the third one will pass.
