How do I detect if a TestStand execution has been terminated?

[tlaford]

We have written a custom GUI that interfaces with TestStand to invoke and control the execution of sequence files.  During an execution, the operator can click on a STOP button which causes the following code to be executed:

        this.myExecutionViewMgr.GetCommand(CommandKinds.CommandKind_Terminate).Execute(true);

This works OK and the TestStand execution is terminated.  However, the EndExecution event handler is not telling me that the execution was terminated.  Here's what our code looks like:

        void EndExecutionEventHandler(object sender, EndExecutionEvent ev)

        {

            // This line ALWAYS returns PASSED or FAILED

            this.Status = ev.exec.ResultStatus;

            // The error object doesn't occur when I terminate 

            PropertyObject errorObj = ev.exec.ErrorObject;

            if (errorObj.Exists("Occurred", 0) && errorObj.GetValBoolean("Occurred", 0))

            {

                string errorCode = errorObj.GetValNumber("Error.Code", 0).ToString();

                string errorText = errorObj.GetValString("Error.Msg", 0);

                MessageBox.Show(errorCode.ToString() + " - " + errorText);

            }

        }

Is there a way to identify if an execution was terminated, aborted, etc?

You can check it from your "UIMessageEvent" event from your Application Manager , usually when you terminate the execution it will throw an event

UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_TerminatingExecution.

if (e.uiMsg.Event == UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_TerminatingExecution)

{

      //This is giving you the idea that the execution was terminated.

}

else if  (e.uiMsg.Event == UIMessageCodes.UIMsg_AbortingExecution)

{

      //This is giving you the idea that the execution was aborted.

}

You can also use Execution.GetStates and look at the termination state to determine if it was terminated.

I changed my EndExecutionEvent Handler method to the code below and it works great!

       void EndExecutionEventHandler(object sender, EndExecutionEvent ev)

        {

            this.Status = ev.exec.ResultStatus;

            ExecutionRunStates runState;

            ExecutionTerminationStates termState;

            ev.exec.GetStates(out runState, out termState);

            if (termState != ExecutionTerminationStates.ExecTermState_Normal)

            {

                this.Status = "ABORTED";

            }

        }
