  • 1.  DevTestALMPlugin-x64 - Run-time error: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime

    Posted May 03, 2016 12:03 PM

    Hello

    I followed the instructions in the Install-Guide of DevTest 9.1: Install DevTest ALM Plug-in (64-bit and 32-bit support).

     

    ALM Version: 12.5 64bit

    DevTest 9.1 64bit

    Plugin: DevTestALMPlugin-x64.exe

    Script: Updated with the new one with REST -> "MercuryLisaBridgeREST.MercuryTestRunner"

     

    We are using VAPI-XP tests as needed and our tests are linked by url.

     

    When starting the test in testplan of ALM this message ist displayed in the output tab.

    [INFO]: 16:10:51 - Lisa Runner Initialized

    Run-time error [5431] : String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

    Test < TC-ABP-20-10-01_STD_ABP_to_FDS_Routing > is completed.

     

    Thx for the help

    cheers

    Michael

    What kind of test are you running?  Can you provide your test case?

    Hello Marcy

    I am running a TC with only a log-step. Originally the test contains other steps but the result ist the same (watch in the picture below).

    I would open a new CA Support case online.  This way we can get on a webex to troubleshoot.

     

    There is a new plugin since GA we can apply to hopefully resolve issue.

    Thank you. Can I download the new version of the plugin? How can I check my installed plugin version?

     

    I am going to open a case.

    cheers Michael

    Good, I will get the case.

     

    Support will provide a new plugin.
