Python to Run TestStand - given example not working

[mirrko]

Hi,

I tried to run TestStand from python script.

I use example from NI site:

https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000019LpMSAU

BUT, at the end I got leakage window warning (attached image).

What is the correct way to finish my work?

my configuration:

Python version 3.6.4

TestStand 2017

Hi mirrko,

Tested by my computer, it's working for me and my python version is 3.6.5 and TS is 2017.

The simple one is no problem. 

Maybe do you run more complex seq ? 

Thanks

Ricky

Hi ricky,

thanks for your reply.

I use similar simple seq (only one statement).

This part works, like on your picture.

But after clicking OK, after the last script line,

TestStand shows me leakage window.

Should it be caused by some settings?

Hi guys,

since I cannot find the python way,

I'm using C# workaround.

Just want to share with you, maybe it helps someone.

Note: this is only a prototype,

all paths are hardcoded for simlicity.

In attachements you could find zip with VisualStudio solution.

using NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.API;

public void ExecuteTestStand()
        {

            // TestStand Environment
            EngineInitializationSettings eis = new EngineInitializationSettings();
            eis.SetEnvironmentPath(@"c:\playground\MyTS\Development.tsenv");

            // Engine
            Engine myEngine = new Engine();
            
            // User
            User admin = myEngine.GetUser("administrator");
            myEngine.CurrentUser = admin;

            // Workspace
            myEngine.OpenWorkspaceFile(@"c:\playground\MyTS\MyWorkspace.tsw");

            // Sequence
            string sequenceFilename = @"c:\playground\MyTS\seq_file_1.seq";
            var flags = 107; //GetSeqFileOptions.GetSeqFile_OperatorInterfaceFlags
            SequenceFile seqFile = myEngine.GetSequenceFileEx(sequenceFilename, flags, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_Error);

            // SequenceModel
            string strModel = myEngine.StationModelSequenceFilePath;
            SequenceFile seqModel = myEngine.GetSequenceFileEx(strModel, flags, TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_Error);

            // Start Exewcution
            Execution exec = myEngine.NewExecution(seqFile, "Single Pass", seqModel, false, 0, null, null, null);
            // wait till end
            exec.WaitForEndEx(60 * 1000);   //wait in miliseconds
                
            myEngine.ShutDown(true);
        }
