Replace standard fail popup with a custom one

[darkxceed]

Dear all,

I want to know if it's possible to replace the FAIL popup with a custom one.

I want to do this because at a FAIL I also want to display what the tester can do to solve the problem.

gr,

Its possible by overriding the POST UUT call back sequence ( refer help document for overriding callbacks).

When you override the post uut there will be no popup.In the over ridden post uut call back sequence you can either call a custom vi\dll or even use a message popup to display.

Also refer to the parameters of the overridden post uut callback to get the pass fail status.

Hope this helps.

Ok think that will work, does teststand give an unique ID at each step, this must be the same even if test steps are added.

I know each step has an ID but I want to know in the POSTUUT which step last failed without adding too must to each post.

Also is there a callback when the test breaks because of a fail?

Please have a look at this example :

TestStand xxxx\Examples\Callbacks\PostStepFailureCallback

This gives an idea of using SequenceFilePostStepFailure - this callback is called whenever a step fails ( i.e. status of that step is "Failed").

Ah thank you, that's the info I wanted!
