Unattended automated build for TestStand Deployment Utility

Status: Already Implemented

You can achieve this by:

Configure » Station Options » User Manager » Check User Privileges - uncheck this box to prevent the login dialog

alternatively - configure the system to automatically log on the Windows user.

You can apply appropriate settings int he below dialog to prevent dialogs from showing up. Eg:
Configure » Station Options » Execution » On Run-Time Error - set this property to 'Run Cleanup.'

Configure » Station Options » Time Limits - make sure none of these properties are set to "Prompt for Action."

Configure » Station Options » Preferences - Uncheck the option to "Prompt to Find Files."

Although BuildTSD allows for builds from the command line, they are still not automatable because someone must be logged in for the run to work. All of our other build tools (Visual Studio, Eclipse, MPLAB, Quartus, NIOS, Matlab, etc.) allow for headless, remote, automated builds which support our move toward continuous integration, continuous deployment, and agile development.
