Unable to Run Semi-Automated Test Case after Re-Commissioning DUT with chip-tool (CON-1974)

We are facing issues while running semi-automated test cases (example: TC-BINFO-2.1) using the Test Harness (TH).

The issue occurs when the DUT is recommissioned using chip-tool after a factory reset. After this, the Test Harness is unable to read attributes from the DUT.

We followed the steps mentioned in the TH User Guide, but the test case fails during execution.

Commissioning with chip-tool succeeds.
DUT appears operational.
When TH attempts to read attributes, it fails.
Test case does not proceed further.

Hi @lamiathasnim,

In the semi-automated test cases, commissioning is handled by the Test Harness. Therefore, please do not commission the DUT using the chip-tool before running the CSA semi-automated test case.

The Test Harness must perform the commissioning itself. Otherwise, it will not know the commissioned Node ID and will not be able to access the DUT.

Hi @VaishaliAvhale ,

We tried commissioning the DUT with TH at the beginning of the test case. However, when we attempt to run the chip-tool commands (the ones specified within the test case) on the RPi, they are not getting executed.

Hi @lamiathasnim,

Could you please share the exact command you tried? That will help me understand the issue and help you better.
