Action: RemoveLibrary

Function: The command removes a library or placeholder from a Library Manager.

Call: Library test driver

Tab: Configuration

Library or placeholder

Name of the library or placeholder

  • Library name (for absolute or asterisk referencing)

    Example: Default

  • Placeholder name (with prepended #)

    As a result, the Version and Company settings are blank.

    Requirement: The libraries are also referenced by means of placeholders in the Library Manager.

    Example: #Test Collection Feature ABC

_cds_icon_three_dots.png: Opens the Find Library dialog

Version

Version of the library

  • Absolute version information

    Requirement: The library is also referenced absolutely in the Library Manager.

    Example: 4.0.0.0

  • *

    Asterisk referencing to always reference the newest version

    Requirement: The library is also referenced in the Library Manager by means of an asterisk.

  • Blank (already determined by placeholders)

Company

Company (vendor) of the library

  • Example: Company ABC

  • Blank (already determined by placeholders)

Library Manager path

Object path of the Library Manager in the project which is modified

If the library to be removed is not defined in the Library Manager, then the action fails.

Example: Device.Plc Logic.Application.LibraryManager

tm_storefullobjectname.png: Copies the settings of an object, which is selected in the device tree, to the input field

_cds_icon_arrow_down.png: Opens a list box with suitable objects which are available in the open project

Hint: You can also drag the settings of a selected object to the input field (Drag&Drop).

_tm_icon_choose_library.png

Opens a dialog for selecting a library from the Library Manager that is specified in Library Manager path

When you select a library there, the settings are applied to the tab.

Requirement: The Library Manager exists in the open project.

Tab: Parameters

The parameters defined on the Parameters tab are used to exchange values between test script variables and parameters of test actions. Parameters can be used as placeholders on the Configuration tab. For this, the name of the parameter is set in braces in the configuration dialog. Example: {name}.

Tip

Variables defined globally in the script (with the prefix $GLOBALS.) can be used directly in the test action. It is not necessary to use input parameters for passing. Using output parameters is necessary for writing global variables.

Input parameters: When executing the test action, the values of the test script variables are passed to the input parameters of the test action and can be used in the configuration of the test action.

Output parameters: When executing the test action, the values of the output parameters of the test action are passed to the test script variables and can be used (for example, in other test actions).

Name

Name of the input/output parameter

This name is defined in addition to the variable name to identify the origin of the parameter when it is passed to another script. During the test run, this name is displayed as the Outer name on the Variables (scope #<n>) tab in the Test progress window.

Background: When a script A calls another script B, and its variable x passes y as a parameter to the script B, then the parameter y is the variable y from the point of view of script B.

To see that this variable is recognized as variable x "outside" of script B, there is the Name column ("Outer name"). The variable y has the name x in the scope pf script B because it has been passed as variable x to the parameter y in the scope of the calling script A.

Variable

Name of the test script variable

Example: TS_CaseA_Result

Move Up

Moves the selected variable one line up

Move Down

Moves the selected variable one line down

Remove

Removes the selected variable from the list
