Python Step Type - Wait Options

[Alexmills1717]

Hello, 

I am using TestStand to invoke a Python script. I would like the sequence to continue to the next step and not wait for the python to exit.

Is this doable? I do not see any wait options like the Call Executable step. 

I am using TestStand 2019.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex,

I don't use TestStand 2019 yet. But you should be able to get "assynchronous" processing using a subsequence, calling it in a New Thread. But the feasibility will depend on your script's inputs/outputs. See Edit Sequence Call dialog Box, under Multithreading and Remote Execution » Run Sequence in a New Thread

With a "New Thread" sequence call, you can use a Wait step to collect the Results (result list of the new thread sequence will be append under the Wait step entry).

Hope this helps,
