Calling Teststand Via Cmd Line

[jdkdev]

I am trying to call teststand via cmd line and pass in the /outputToStdIO argument but it never returns anything. This is incredibly frustrating and I cant find any details of this actually worinfg as described in the online help doc here:
https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/configuring-sequence-editor-and-user-interfac.ht...

The cmd I am running is as follows start /wait SeqEdit.exe -run MainSequence "C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2019 (32-bit)\Examples\Demos\Computer Motherboard Test\LabVIEW\Computer Motherboard Test Sequence.seq" -outputToStdIO -quit

This successfully runs the sequence and returns but I never get anything out of the -outputToStdIO argument. Is there any suggestions from anyone here? The end goal is to write a script that gets called via Jenkins

Thanks

You can have a look at this repo.

https://github.com/425J/TestStandCLI

It requires polishing (I don't know good .NET practices so I improvised) but you can fork it and extract what you need from it.

I think for Jenkins it would be better because it will run completely silent (without GUI) and return some reasonable return code.

I have done this before In TestStand 2019 32-bit.

My CMD was as follows. Difference being I used a C# User Interface instead of the Seq Editor. I also used Single Pass, instead of just running the MainSequence. I also passed in arguments to configure my test, but I removed them in the example below.

""C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2019 (32-bit)\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured\CSharp\Source Code\Bin\x86\release\TestExec.exe"" /operatorInterface /runEntryPoint "Single Pass" "MySequenceFile.seq" /outputToStdIO /quit

If I had to take a guess, I would imagine if you use an entry point vs just running a sequence you may get something.
