Parallel sequence Hang when using Select string in CallBacks

[manu.NET]

Hi,

I have posted a problem yesterday explainig that my custom interface in C# was Hanging/Locked when using parallel executions. 

=> My application works fine when i run the sequences sequentially.

So i have followed my investigations and i found the origin of the problem.

In my application i use a special process model with 2 callbacks : 

• ProcessModelPreStep
• ProcessModelPostStep

In these callbacks i had to look for a special step. So i write something like :

SELECT RunState.Caller.Step.StepType.Name

CASE "XXXXX"

....

End

CASE "YYYY"

....

End

End

I do replace this syntax by :

IF StrComp( RunState.Caller.Step.StepType.Name , "XXXXX" ) == 0

...

End

IF StrComp( RunState.Caller.Step.StepType.Name , "YYYY" ) == 0

...

End

And then the application hangs no more !!!! 

This problem can be viewed directly with TestStand using a parallel processModel containing the callbacks with the select ....

Here are 2 files which can reproduce the problem easily ...

Hello,

Thank you Manu for your trick. I am sure it will help.

From your sequence files, it looks like you're using TestStand 2010. I believe you might be running into Known Issue 276979 which was fixed in TestStand 2010 SP1.

Hope this helps.
