State directory not updated when changing reference library

skillprogramme

Hi

When changing the design reference for a given test in the ADEXL GUI (fex changing the design library), callback functions are used in order to update the folders in cellname/adexl_view/test_states/ (fex to create a new folder with the new library name). cellname/adexl_view/test_states/ contains a subfolder with the library name where the output for a test is stored (fex cellname/adexl_view/test_states/lib1).
When changing the design reference for a given test through SKILL, fex 

axlCreateSession("session0")
dbHandle = axlSetMainSetupDBLCV("session0" "lib1" "cellname" "view")
testHandle = axlGetTest(dbHandle "test0")
args = axlGetTestToolArgs(testHandle) 
rplaca( cdr( assoc( "lib" args ) ) "lib2" ) ;Replacing the reference lib to "lib2" in args
axlSetTestToolArgs(testHandle args) ; Feed the new arguments to the test

However, this does not create a new folder under cellname/adexl_view/test_states/. Is there any way to invoke these callback functions in the same way as is done in the GUI? Please correct me if this is not a good way/the correct way to update a test reference. This method works, but you loose all the output expressions (quick fix so far is to copy the directory into a folder with the correct library name, fex: cp -r cellname/adexl_view/test_states/lib1 cellname/adexl_view/test_states/lib2).

    Max,

    The UI uses a private function (beginning with an underscore, so it's really private) to do this - it doesn't use axlSetToolArgs - at least, not at the high level. It's effectively using ADE L's code to change the design - but that has hooks to update ADE XL too.

    You should log a service request for this - I think it will need an enhancement to provide a suitable public API.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
