| Author | NI |
The niflexlogger-automation package contains an API (Application Programming Interface) and examples for using Python to automate NI FlexLogger. The automation API supports modifying the configuration of existing FlexLogger projects and controlling the execution of FlexLogger test sessions. The package is implemented in Python. NI created and supports this package.
niflexlogger-automation has the following requirements:
- FlexLogger 2021 R1+
- CPython 3.6 - 3.9
To install niflexlogger-automation, use one of the following methods:
pip:
$ python -m pip install niflexlogger-automation
easy_install from setuptools:
$ python -m easy_install niflexlogger-automation
Download the project source and run:
$ python setup.py install
Refer to the documentation for detailed information on how to use niflexlogger-automation.
To run the tests, you must first configure FlexLogger to load the test
plugins that the test projects use. To do this, copy tests/assets/pythonTests.config
to %public%\Documents\National Instruments\FlexLogger\Plugins\IOPlugins, and in that file
replace <path to git repo> with the path to the cloned repo.
After this is done, you can run the tests with tox.
