Sequence Analyzer Standalone Tool

[inandi]

I was having trouble being able to analyze .tsaproj files using the Sequence Analyzer Standalone tool for command line. The .tsaproj file opens in a new window with every new command I run, but there is no signs of an actual analysis occurring when I add the tag /analyze along with other tags. A new window just pops up in TestStand and does not proceed further with any operations. How do I perform an analysis through command line with clicking on the Analyze button on the GUI?

Link to command line tool below:

Have you tried the report flag that's called out in that help doc?

AnalyzerApp.exe "C:\My Documents\MyProject.tsaproj" /analyze /report "C:\My Documents\myReport.XML" /quit

I posted a stylesheet on the community a while back that can be used to convert that report to JUnit and fed to a CI server.

Another thing that's useful to know is the return codes for the Analyzer, which there is an open CAR to document officially:

-2. Invalid Paths: An invalid path was passed to the AnalyzerApp
-1. Invalid Flags: An invalid flag was passed to the AnalyzerApp.
1. Analyzer Error: One or more Errors were reported when analyzing the project.
2. Analyzer Warning: One or more Warnings were reported when analyzing the project
0. Success: No Errors or Warnings were reported.

Hope this helps!

I tried with the report flag and the myReport.xml path, but it still just opens a new window and doesn't do any analysis or create an xml file in a path I specify. The error codes don't show up since the Analyzer never seems to actually run. I'm running TestStand 2014.

Thanks,

The command line support for the analyzer wasn't added until 2014 SP1.
