2190996 TestStand can produce unwanted report formatting by enabling the "Discard Results" setting when using On-The-Fly (OTF) reporting
TestStand can produce unwanted report formatting by enabling the "Discard Results" setting when using On-The-Fly (OTF) reporting. To avoid this issue, use the XML report format.
Workaround:Use the XML reporting format.
2347563 Debugging breakpoints added while debugging Python modules from TestStand using step-into operation do not properly remove themselves
Debugging breakpoints added while debugging Python modules from TestStand using step-into operation do not properly remove themselves from the module following step-into operation, and must be manually removed.
Workaround:Manually remove the unwanted breakpoints for the code module.
2529314 TestStand batch report does not append .html to UUT report links when reports are generated in separate files
When
– generating HTML reports using the XML or ATML batch report formats and UUTs, and
– the batch and UUT reports are generated in separate files,
the HTML report links on the main batch report do not include an .html extension and break.
Workaround:There is currently no known workaround for this issue.
2548341 Does not show all exception message when DotNET code modules throw aggregate exception
TestStand does not show all exception messages when DotNET code modules throw aggregate exception. The inner exceptions are not displayed in the error message dialog.
Workaround:Reissue the exception in the DotNET module as below:
new Exception(originalException.ToString())
2563163 Offline Results Processing Utility crashes when adding new configuration
The Offline Results Processing Utility (ORPU) crashes when trying to add a new configuration for a profile. This occurs when the utility redirects the stdole assembly to version 17.0.0.0, which may not be installed.
Workaround:
– Open\Components\Tools\Offline Results Processing Utility\x64\OfflineResultsProcessingUtility.exe.config in a text editor.
. The 32-bit version is located at\Components\Tools\Offline Results Processing Utility\Win32\OfflineResultsProcessingUtility.exe.config.
– Delete the assemblyBinding element/section and save the file.
2559513 Hidden properties are not shown in Types view
Hidden properties for a type are not listed in the Types view even when ‘Show Hidden Properties’ is enabled for Station Options.
Workaround:There is currently no known workaround for this issue.
2577499 Hovering over a parameter expression that accesses an element of an empty array results in crash
Hovering over an expression to show the evaluated value in the tooltip in the expression edit control results in a crash when the expression accesses element(s) of an empty array.
Workaround:Use expressions that access elements of an empty array within a ‘#NoValidation()’ function.
2581245 TestStand Deployment Utility Generates Wrong Public Document Path
Built TestStand installers install files to an incorrect location when the deployment build specifies the installation location as the "TestStand Public Documents Directory" in the TestStand Deployment Utility.
As an example, in TestStand 2023 Q4, the deployment installer installs the files to "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2023 Q4 (64-bit)" if the TestStand Public Documents Directory is specified as the installation location. However, the default TestStand Public Documents Directory is "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2023 (64-bit)".
The issue is also seen when you select "TestStand Application Data Directory" and "Global TestStand Application Data Directory" as the installation location.
Workaround:Provide the exact path instead of using options from drop down.
2605647 Unexpected Token error occurs when editing parameters for sweep loops
Sweep loop arrays of enumeration parameters fail to evaluate value expressions and throw an error when enumeration names contain the following:
– Spaces
– Periods
– Parentheses
– Quotes
– Names beginning with number characters
Workaround:Do not use these characters in enumeration parameter names in Sweep loop arrays.
2741651 PDF generation fails for XML and ATML reports with relative path to stylesheet
Report PDF generation fails with a relative path to a stylesheet is used for XML and ATML report formats.
Workaround:Use the absolute path to the stylesheet, or:
– Copy the stylesheet to the same folder as the report file
– Change the argument passed to the PDF generator in the Call PDF Converter Tool step in the ConvertReportToPDFAndUploadToSystemLink sequence in NI_ReportGenerator.seq to the following:
"\"" + Parameters.ReportFilePath + "\"" + (Parameters.SystemLinkReportId != "" ? " /report-id \"" + Parameters.SystemLinkReportId + "\"" : "") + (Parameters.GeneratePDF == False ? " /nopdf" : "") + " /stylesheet " + "\"" + RunState.Execution.Report.StyleSheetPath + "\""
2761768 Python interpreter session object does not get reused when relative path is used for Python virtual environment
When the Python virtual environment has a relative path configured for an object reference-based Python interpreter session across Python steps and the following conditions are met:
– The first step has the ‘Create Interpreter if it does not exist’ setting enabled
– Subsequent steps do not have the ‘Create Interpreter if it does not exist’ setting enabled
The following error occurs:
‘Interpreter in the configured interpreter reference was created with settings different to the configured settings. Make sure the interpreter in the reference was created with same settings and retry.’
This happens when the Python virtual environment path configured for the steps are relative paths.
Workaround:Configure an absolute path for the Python virtual environment.
2782788 Passing an array element as the parameter to sweep loop step throws error at run-time
When an array element is passed to a sweep loop step parameter, the sweep loop step throws error -17038 at run-time.
Workaround:There is currently no known workaround for this issue.
2793269 TestStand Deployment Utility is unable to locate project files within TestStand workspace
TestStand Deployment Utility cannot locate LabVIEW project files within a TestStand workspace even when the option "Current workspace directory" is enabled in Configure>>Search Directories in TestStand (Sequence editor).
Workaround:Configure the LabVIEW project with respect to the current sequence file.
2815030 Opening a sequence file does not preload code modules even when the setting is enabled
Sequence files configured to preload code modules do not preload modules, and need to load modules when opening.
Workaround:There is currently no known workaround for this issue.
2839884 HTML report format with On-The-Fly Reporting and Filtering results shows step status as ‘Running’
For HTML report format with On-The-Fly Reporting selected and result filtering set to remove steps with status as ‘Done’ (i.e. Result.Status != "Done") shows a sequence call step as ‘Running’ even when the step execution is completed.
Workaround:Use the result filtering expression as ‘Result.Status != "Running" && Result.Status != "Done"’
