Assessing Command 'Analyze Source Files' via Command Line when running TestSTand Deployment Utility

Our Software Configuration Manager is running the TestStand Command Line Deployment Build Tool (Ref: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-38947).

        When he builds the application,  the code will not be at the same location it was in development. 

 

If you are Manually running the TestStand Deployment Utility, This is not a problem because everything is relative in the workspace.   Simply go to the Distributed Files Tab (of TestSTand Deployment Utility) and hit the, "Analyze Source Files" button.  This finds the required files and apparently creates an updated hard path to be used during the build (probably in the *.tsd).

 

PROBLEM:  We auto-run the Command Line Deployment Build Tool (Command Line), and we do not have access to the, 'Analyze Source Files' command.

            As a result, our build consist of many warnings and the output is missing many files (the location of the files have not been updated).

 

If we could access the 'Analyze Source Files' Command via command line, that would fix the issue. 

 

FYI:  We use an automatic builder called Quick Build as our builder.

Unfortunately it looks like Analyze Source Files does not have a command equivalent for the command line based on this article and attached PDF:

That may be a good post for the TestStand Idea Exchange for consideration in future versions of TestStand.
