 Good morning,

When i lauch my script for ELC i get 57 tests passed and 2 failed. Reading the .log, i don't arrive to find the mistake.

here the display message:

 with the ELC tool:

When i have a look on the .log corresponding to D0027 and D0026 for example i have this warning

    Could you try the latest ELC verion first? If you still get the same error, pelase provide the test case.
