There are two different test groups in our company. We are changing over to using TFS as source control.
I have modified all of the TestStand sequences to work with a Relative Path, took several weeks of work.
The other group needs to do the same thing, but most of their sequence files that call library routines are setup to use a single Search Directory entry (includes subdirs). One of the complications with this implementation of TestStand, is that they often run multiple sessions of TestStand on the same computer. We have found that you can modify the StationGlobals within each session and they will be kept separate.
Is it possible to use the method Engine.SearchDirectory.Insert in the Process Model so that each session of TestStand that is opened (which could be opened from different directories, i.e.: C:\Test Product1 or C:\TestProduct2)?
So, what I'm wondering is, could we read something within the ProcessModel (Report Path, Sequence directory, etc.) and use the Root of that path to build the Search Directory and enter that using a few step in the ProcessModel?
I'm suggesting the Process Model to make sure that the Search Directory is always modified, as opposed to having to call a special library function at the start of any session, to make sure that the Search Directroy is updated.
