My sequence file MySeq.seq has a subsequence called 'ToggleFileGlobalBool' that toggles the File Global variable 'MyBool' each time it is called. 'ToggleFileGlobalBool' also uses a message popup to display the state of MyBool. The sequence file properties are set to "All Executions Share the Same File Globals". As expected, 'MyBool' does indeed toggle when MainSequence calls 'ToggleFileGlobalBool' multiple times.
However, when I call 'ToggleFileGlobalBool' multiple times from Python, 'MyBool' is always the default value instead of toggling. Here's the Python code. I'm using TestStand 2014 SP1.
self._test_stand_engine = win32com.client.Dispatch('TestStand.Engine')
sequence_file = self.test_stand_engine.GetSequenceFileEx(r"C:\<path>\MySeq.seq")
for i in range(0, 4):
execution = self.test_stand_engine.NewExecution(sequence_file, # sequenceFileParam
"ToggleFileGlobalBool", # sequenceNameParam
None, # processModelParam
False, # breakAtFirstStep
0) # executionTypeMaskParam
execution.WaitForEndEx(-1)
