Project Test Items Do Not Repeat Using Count When Error Is Thrown

Hi,        In my project's Test Items Properties, I have the 'Stop on error' and 'Stop on warning' disable.  However, when running a test with a Count > 1, if the test throws an Error at any point,...

    Please note the following:


     

    This is something that is configured on the Test item level.  The columns I have highlighted are not visible by default... you will need to add them to view them.  This is probably what's causing the behavior you're seeing.  While the project isn't halting on an error, the test item might be and, therefore, it won't continue through the additional counts.

Hi Robert,

 

     I'm using version 12.31, as far as I can tell there is only a checkbox to enable or disable this functionality for the Project (found under Playback) - I've unchecked all.

 

 

      What I mean by ' the test will not continue' is that I would expect the following to continue retesting Script1 and all child test items ten times, even if there was an error in Script2 or Script3.  What I find is that as soon as an error is thrown, the project will continue through the remainder of the Script1 child test items but will not loop back to retest Script1 for Count 2,3, etc.

 

 

    > Script1  with Count = 10

        > Organization Folder 1

            > Script 2  

        > Organization Folder 2

            > Script 3

    Looks like that's the issue!  Thank you!

     

     

    P.S. for anyone else trying to figure out how to add these columns:

     

    By default, the Stop on error and Stop on exception columns are hidden on the Test Items page. To make these columns visible, right-click within the Test Items page and select  Field Chooser from the context menu. Then, drag the columns from the subsequent Customization dialog to the Test Items page.
