Provide Capability To Call a Sub-Sequence from A Different Sequence File Step When A Post Action Property Is Selected

Status: New

We already have a collection of sequence files which contain a library of common functions that we perform for all tests which amount to hundreds and hundreds of sub-sequences. The sub-sequence from all the sequence perform a variety of functions which include utilities that are commonly reused in our tests.

 

 

Rather than re-writing these commonly used sub-sequences again and again in the different sequence files we are trying to re-use the same sub-sequences from all the sequence files in one place. "Code Re-use".

 

For the step types which also includes our own custom step types, when a post action property is invoked, there is no way we can use these commonly used sub-sequence from a different file.

 

The work around solution is to call another "Call Sequence" step in the same sequence file which then calls the sub-sequence from another file. Seems kind of cumbersome and awkward.

 

Don't know if NI has already looked at this or not.
