How to delete all outputs for test in ADE-XL/Assembler using SKILL

Hi,

I want to delete all outputs for specific test in ADE-XL/Assembler using SKILL

After some digging in manuals I see that I can get list of outputs for test like this:

session = axlGetWindowSession()

sevSession = axlGetToolSession(session test_name)
testObj = asiGetSession(sevSession)
testOutputsList=asiGetOutputList(testObj)

After this it is maeDeleteOutput and axlDeleteOutput functions to delete outputs.

The problem is both functions require output name, but there may be many outputs without name.

So how can I delete all outputs? Is it a way to delete outputs without name?

Best regards,

Alex.

    Hi Alex,

    The maeDeleteOutput and axlDeleteOutput functions do work - you just have to pass them the signal or the expression if they are unnamed. It's possible the code below is incomplete and doesn't handle all output types though:

    foreach(testOutput testOutputList
      cond(
        (testOutput->name axlDeleteOutput(session test_name testOutput->name))
        (testOutput->signal axlDeleteOutput(session test_name testOutput->signal))
        (testOutput->expression axlDeleteOutput(session test_name sprintf(nil "%L" testOutput->expression)))
      )
    )

    I think there's an argument to provide a function which retrieves the "name" for each output - i.e. the name that can be passed to axlDeleteOutput/maeDeleteOutput. Perhaps an maeGetOutputNames() or something like that? Worth contacting customer support to ask for such a function - because the above requires a bit too much knowledge of the way things are stored.

    Andrew.
