TestStand and SVN

[Morten_Pedersen]

Hi,

We are a company that develops test and measurement systems, with LabVIEW and TestStand. We are working in the latest and prior versions of the development systems.

We have in mind to change our existing source code control (SCC) to the following toolchain in the latest versions:

- Tigris Subversion Server on Linux (Tigris SVN)

- TortoiseSVN Client (to use SVN via file explore)

- PushOK SVN Client (to use SVN from the LV project explore)

Does anyone have some Pros. and Cons. Regarding this setup for company use with LabVIEW and TestStand?

I am looking forward to hear from you,

Best regards,

Morten Pedersen

Hello Morten,

I wanted to see if you were able to get any information? Here is a KnowledgeBase article that lists some source control utilities that work with LabVIEW.  This may not be a comprehensive list, and unfortunately doesn't cover TestStand in any way.  Yet because of the way TestStand handles files using some source control on the actual files shouldn't be a problem, it just might not integrate into the environment. Hope this helps.

Any new information about using SVN in TestStand?

We are using SVN in our company and I would like to use it in TS.

Frank,

there is as far as i know no official statement about SVN and TS.

I am sure that SVN does not directly "plugin" to TS, so you will need an additional tool/addon. The addon i am speaking of is PushOK, and i know that this works for LabVIEW.

Therefore, i can imagine that it will work for TS as well, but please note that nothing official has been reported on this.

The good thing: PushOK has a trial period, so you can test it own your own. But remember that this is currently not supported!

hope this helps,

Norbert

Thanks Norbert,

I installed the PushOK SVN plugin and it seems to work fine!
