Should Test Execute honor on error properties?

Hi all, I have some tests failing with TE that are not failing when I run TC.

Scenario: I have an application that is only part of the main overall build. When I launch it standalone, it throws a crash in the background that’s expected because it’s looking for another part of the build that is not there. User doesn’t see the crash.

Now when I set up my environment in TC, I said continue running on error, and set up that step to not log the error. The whole suite of tests pass. When I move it to TE to run, it fails immediately when it sees the background crash and I cannot run my test.  Is there something I am missing and can I get test execute to ignore the crash?

    Technically speaking, those settings are stored in the project.  I believe in the MDS file.  If that file has not been copied to the new machine properly, that would cause this difference in behavior.

        Double check something.  In your test items, right click and select "Field Chooser".  Then drag in the field for "On exception" and see what the setting for that is.
