Command Line Call From TestExec With TestStand 2014

[Paul_Buehlmann]

We are upgrading our Testsuites to TestStand 2014.

When I want to Run a Sequence File with TestExec from an external Batch using the Entry Point "Test UUTs" I get the Error (see attached file)

Entry point 'Test UUTs' does not exist.

Value invalid or out of Range. Error Code -17300

The contents of the external Batch is:

Echo on
"C:\Projects\TestStand\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\CVI\win32\TestExec.exe" /runEntryPoint "Test UUTs" "C:\Projects\FrameworkFkt\TestProg\B1_SequenceFiles\E4_FRAMEWORK_SHORT.seq"
pause
Ech off

With TestStand 2013 this worked well. Does anybody know a solution for this problem. And the Entry Point "Test UUTs" exists.

Further I would like To unload all Sequences wenn I close the TestExec. Is there an easy way to do this, without changing the TestExec-Source-Code?

Thank you for the help.

Best Regards Paul

Hi Paul,

I don´t know if this could help you, but I found a very similar case.

If it doesn´t. Could you upload your sequence file?

Hi Kilian,

Tank you for the answer. The Attachment is only a jpeg-File of the Operator-Interface with the error Message. I had already read the the link you mentioned, but I think I did not configure the Station Options correctly. Sorry! 

But the second question, I mentioned: to unload all Sequences in the Testexec would also be interesting for me. Is there possibilty to Configure the Operatore-Interface, so that wenn the User closes it,all Sequence-Files will be closed too.

Thank you

Paul

When a UI is closed all sequence files are already closed. That is a standard part of the cleanup when the process is shutdown. What exactly is the problem you are seeing? Is it just that you don't want them to reopen the next time the UI is launched? If so that is just a setting in the ApplicationMgr object of the UI, ApplicationMgr.ReloadSequenceFilesOnStart. You can set this property in the designer of whatever programming language you use to build your UI, or set it programmatically before you call Start() on the ApplicationMgr.

Hope this helps,

Hi Doug,

Thank you for the answer. I just don't want them to reopen the next time the UI is launched. I could set the property of the Application Manager.ReloadSequeceFilesOnStart. 

Thanks again
