Error behaviour in multi-threaded mode

[hurst]

I'm running TestStand 3.0 in sequential mode. In the middle of my sequence I have a multi-threaded (6 threads) section with the appropriate Waits. My problem is that if an Error occurs while inside the multi-threaded section, then execution bypasses the Waits and I lose all the result data from the other threads.

Is there anything that I can do to get the error thread to force each of the other threads to go through their Wait so that I can get their report data.

Hi,

Try using the New Execution option instead of New Thread.

Or In the Properties set the step to ignore runtime errors. Then put your own error trapping in

I don't think New Execution will fil my requirement, so New Thread will probably have to do.

I was looking at the callbacks and noticed one that perrked my interest, 'SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError'. Is there any way I could use this to modify the error handling behaviour only when I'm inside the multi threaded section? Anybody know anything about this callbackand how to accomplish this?

Hi,

There's an example in the TestStand\examples\callbacks folder using this callback.

Can you move this to a subsequence and put all the waits in your cleanup group? That is usually the place to put things that you want to execute even if there is an error.
