Re : automatically insert sequence call by defined subsequences

[DonBorste]

Good morning,

is it possible, with TestStand 2012, to create a sequence call (automatically) in MainSequence for each defined SubSequence in the same sequence-file?

I have many (as more as 120) tests which are applied as a SubSequence. these Subsequences get called from MainSequence. Now I have to set for every SubSequence a sequence call, this take much time.

My idea is to write a script or a helper sequence which do this job for me, is this possible?

thanks

Heiko

Hello,

Here is an example...You will probably need to change some little things for your specific sequence file, but it will help you...

[Julien_31]

You can use this statement instead...(slightly different than the previous one...and more readable according to me)

RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq[Locals.index].InsertStep(RunState.Sequence.GetStep(0, StepGroup_Setup), 0, StepGroup_Main)

A few explanations :

> Locals.index : local variable to index each subsequence in your sequence file

> InsertStep : method to insert the step you specify into the subsequence (with options in order to specify where you want to insert the step in your subsequence : group, and position in the group)

> GetStep : method to get a reference to the step you need to insert in the subsequence (with options in order to specify which step of your main sequence you want to get a reference to : group, and position in the group)

Hey Julien,

thanks for your answer, but I can't open the file you attached because I use TestStand version 5.0.xxx. Can you save it in a erlier version and post it again?

thx

Hop !

Is it OK ???

Hi Julien,

please excuse my late answer, but there's a lot of work for me actual.

I can open and run the sequence you sent, many thanks for that.

But it's not really that what I meant. I want to add the subsequences BEFORE I run the sequence file.

In my sequence file I have over a hundred sub-sequences which are defined tests. Now I must add for every sub-sequence a sequence call in my main-sequence.

In the main I need that function you sent which CREATE a sequence call and set it in main-sequence.

Is that possible to do?

That's not exactly what you need but maybe it will help you.

Hey Julien,

thanks a lot for your help. You are right, not exactly that what I need but I see what you do to copy steps.

If I can use this logic to set a sequence call of a sub-sequence to main-sequence then it will be greatfull.

Hi !

I have the same problem , can you help me please ! I tried to use "InsertStep" but I didn't  success  , do you have any idea thks  you !!
