How to get test variable checkbox status in Assembler

alexstepanov75

Hi,

How can I get the status of the test variable checkbox in Assembler?

I tried following:

;Option 1:
sess=axlGetWindowSession()
sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
testId=axlGetTest(sdb "new_test")
var=axlGetVar(testId "vdda")
printf("vdda %L\n" axlGetEnabled(var))
var=axlGetVar(testId "vssa")
printf("vssa %L\n" axlGetEnabled(var))

THis gives t result for both vdda and vssa

;Option 2:
sess=axlGetWindowSession()
sdb=axlGetMainSetupDB(sess)
testId=axlGetTest(sdb "new_test")
axlGetAllVarsDisabled(testId)

The list of disabled variables are nil

    Because of some historical architecture reasons, that flag is actually stored as a related attribute of the global variable (you'll find that if a variable is a design variable only, you can't toggle the checkbox). So the function you need is:

    axlGetEnabledGlobalVarPerTest(sdb "vssa" "new_test")

    Logically (because of the UI) you might imagine the first approach would work, but in the underlying database there is no enabled/disabled flag at the test variable level, so it always returns t. The second approach doesn't work because the axlGetAllVarsDisabled function (as the documentation explains) only tells you whether all Global variables are enabled/disabled (i.e. the checkbox to the left of "Global Variables" in your picture).

    Anyway, hopefully the above gives you a solution.

    Regards,

    Andrew
