The applications generated by the unit test framework designate one
worker as the "done worker" (or "finished worker"), which is usually the
file writing worker associated with the first output port.

This is explained in the descriptions of the finishPort and
finishedWorkerIsUUT attributes in the documentation.

Since the default finished worker is for the first output port, when
that port is not connected (testOptional), then things won't work.
The "finishPort" attribute is unfortunately global, which means it is
set for all cases, and cannot be set per-case.

Certainly some better error messages would help here, as would the
ability to set "finishport" for each case.

But in fact it appears that the "testOptional" feature does not work
with multiple ports like this in any case.

You are unlucky this week.  Thanks for the report - it is clear what
needs fixing.
