RunAutomaticTask VerifyFiles is falsely reporting zero errors

Hello,

I'm maintaining a small application that runs certain common translation tasks automatically and I am currently trying to implement an automatic verification check using the API.

To do this, I'm running the FileBasedProject.RunAutomaticTask Method on the target bilingual .sdlxliff file using AutomaticTemplateIds.VerifyFiles.

This seems to execute without an error, but the problem is that the report generated through the task does not actually show any errors or warnings. I'm testing the application on the SecondSample.docx file found in the SampleProject folder that comes with the installation of SDL Trados Studio 2019. I am also pretranslating this document using the sample TM "English-German.sdltm" that is also provided by SDL Trados Studio.

By running the "Verify Files" batch-task on the same .sdlxliff file using the actual SDL Trados Studio application, I can generate a verification report with 26 errors. This should be the expected outcome, since not all segments are being automatically translated by the TM.

So my question is, why doesn't the report generated through the RunAutomaticTask method show any errors? It actually seems to not use the QAChecker plugin at all. Am I missing something in the implementation?

Also is there any documentation available for the QAChecker settings? I wasn't able to find it in the Verification API documentation.

Thank you very much for any help.

Here is the relevant code and both of the generated reports:

public void RunVerifyFilesTask()
{
    //Set the QAChekcer Plugin settings
    ISettingsBundle settings = fbProject.GetSettings();

    SegmentVerificationSettings sver = new SegmentVerificationSettings
    {
    CheckUntranslatedSegments = true,
    CheckUntranslatedSeverity = 3, //Severity.High, //3 = Error
    CheckIdenticalSegments = true,
    CheckIdenticalSegmentsSeverity = 1 // 1 = Info
    };

    sver.SaveToSettingsBundle(settings, "QAVerificationSettings");
    fbProject.UpdateSettings(settings);

    //Run verification on the target language bilingual files
    Guid verifyTaskReportId = this.RunTaskOnTrgFiles(AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.VerifyFiles);
    fbProject.SaveTaskReportAs(verifyTaskReportId, Path+@"\Reports\Verification_Report.xls", ReportFormat.Excel);

}
