VManager wrongly imports failed test as passed

GxxCxx

Hello,
I'm exploring VManager tool capabilities.

I launched a simulation with xrun, which terminates with a fatal error (`uvm_fatal actually).

Then I imported the flow session, through VManager -> Regression -> Collect Runs, linking the directory with ucm and ucd of just failed run.

VManager imports the test with following attributes:

Total Runs =1

#Passed =1

#Failed =0

What I'm missing here? It should be imported as failed test.

If I right click on flow name and choose Analyze All Runs, VManager brings me to Analysis tab and I can see only a PASSED tag in Runs subwindow.

Thank you for any help

    If you've collected the coverage work directory with just the coverage files (*.ucd, *.ucm) then vManager has no idea that the test "failed", the coverage database is orthogonal to pass status and is only storing coverage data (unlike another vendor's format). In Cadence's philosophy, failures don't belong in coverage, hence vManager looks at the log file from your test to look for UVM_ERROR or UVM_FATAL, as well as any other tool-defined errors.

    Hence you must do the collect on a directory that contains the log file, so that vManager can check the logs.
