Hang-up Calling Child Scripts

[snapjeff]

Nothing has really changed. I am in the process of developing the scripts and now that I started to do some heavier-duty testing, I have been seeing this issue.

I decided to start simplifying things and got down to a 'master' script that loops 20 times calling a dummy child script (the child script does only a 2 second wait). I have not had any success in completing 20 iterations of the loop yet. Those files are attached.
EDIT: The simplified test scripts work fine on the WinXP machine.

In our tests, the scripts always complete as expected (tested on Win XP SP3 and Win7 x64, via Remote Desktop).

I started removing parameters passed to the child script (I continued to use the dummy child script that does only a 2 second Wait) and found that by not passing the global script file to the child script, the child script will always return.

Thinking that perhaps the parameter ordering was an issue, I put the /script switch in the additional options and it behaves the same as if I added the global script file 'normally'.

I have created my own global macros, scripts and subroutine steps files that are not stored in the configuration files path, but I am supplying the full path for these files in the options tab of the VisBuildPro action.

Any ideas?

Can you ZIP and send the global scripts file that you are using to support@kinook.com? Thanks.

[snapjeff]

File sent.

I put the scripts file in the same path as Test.bld, modified Test.bld as attached, built, and it completed as expected.

Still no joy

I used your Test.bld (which is for VBP8, so I installed the eval of VBP8), I still have the child script not returning.

What I did do to get the child script to return was to reduce the global script file down to this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<scripts version='7'>
<script language='VBScript'></script>
</scripts>


If I put anything between the <script language='VBScript'> and the </script>, the child script will not return. I even tried to save the script file as UTF-8 with no difference.

BTW...I am testing this on the actual build machine using WinXP.
