Terminate at breakpoint but execute cleanup

[stephenb2]

At a TestStand step breakpoint I sometimes realize that the sequence is not going to work and I need to make a change.

Is there a way to go to cleanup from a breakpoint? I have an object that needs to be closed or my system is left in a bad state.

Since you are manually interacting with the Sequence Editor anyway, the easiest way is probably just to close the execuiton window (see below)

So closing the window this way runs cleanup?

Kind of...

More precisely:

Terminating an execution always runs cleanup sections. So if you are using exactly this way, your cleanup sections will be executed

Side note: you might be wondering, why you don't see the tracing while terminating and if you're setting a breakpoint in a cleanup section won't show any effect while terminating. This is due to the following default settings:

Thanks for the suggestion. I can see that the cleanup steps get executed after termination with the station options for tracing set up this way.
