Regression with Vmanager

Senemilk
Senemilk over 3 years ago

Hi,



I am new to using Vmanager and I have multiple vsif files for lunching the regression of multiple blocs.

But I would like to have an automatic regression launched every week for example with a combination of all the previous regressions I launched.


Is there any way to do that ?
Through a script maybe or a vsif file which would combine all the previous ones ? It would be great if I could have some examples too.


Thanks in advance.

    We typically do this using #ifdef and #include in the VSIF, for example you can have your block-level VSIF looking something like this:

    // block1.vsif
    #ifndef TOPLEVEL
    session block1 {
      top_dir : ....;
    };
    #endif
    group all {
      test test1 { ... };
      test test2 { ... };
    };

    Then for the top-level VSIF:

    // top.vsif
    #define TOPLEVEL
    session top {
      top_dir : ....;
    };
    #include "block1.vsif"
    #include "block2.vsif"
    ...

    This way you can directly re-use VSIFs without having to replicate test information.

    Thank you for your reply

    If I could just have some more details 

    And I don't want to run a top level testbench that includes all those blocks but rather I want to run all those blocks separately (they could for example not be inside the same top level and we would have the same number of testbench environment as the number of blocs) 

    If it is not possible to do that with one vsif file, I don't mind running them in succession but is there à way to do that from the terminal with a script for example ?
