Multithreaded testing in sequential model and post actions

[stephenb2]

How do I make a failing step go to cleanup in the sequential model using multithreading?

Here is what I'm doing in the main sequence:

step 1

step 2

execute sequence A in new thread

step 3

step 4

step 5

wait for execute sequence A to finish

step 6

...

If step 4 fails, what I think I want is for the threads to synchronize before proceeding to cleanup, otherwise the cleanup steps might impact sequence A's steps.

The "wait for execute sequency A to finish" step can fail, but I think that happens only if one of it's steps fails; step 4 failing won't do it.

Maybe I should insert a custom condition expression in the wait  step like

AnyOf(RunState.SequenceFailed, RunState.ErrorReported)

Hello stephenb2

I was thinking that, I mean use the RunState then create a custom condition.

That is a good idea

That worked, although the expression should have been negated for the execute if false case.

! AnyOf(RunState.SequenceFailed, RunState.ErrorReported)

Thanks. I just was wondering if I had missed a better approach.
