Custom location for ProcessingStage folder

Status: New

Hi,

 

I'm facing almost the same problem as mentionned in this thread of the Forum : NIPB: Custom location for ProcessingStage folder - NI Community

 

I'm working with TestStand Framework. When building sequences for specific projects, we have a dedicated repo and we build a package to deploy that project on the target PC. The source of the project and the PBS file are in the same folder hierarchie to simplify Source Code Control.

 

By creating the ProcessingStage folder in the folder of the pbs you have a copy of your TestStand sequences and code modules with a risk of that you have in the same based folder the sources and the temporary files generated by build in the same location. When developing you have a risk to point on the wrong file when teststand is searchning for a file based on search directories.

 

If we can't change the processing stage folder destination (information is already present in the xml of the PBS file) can we imagine to add at least an option to delete the Processing stage folder after build.

 

Without ability to change this destination, we have to manage folder to exclude from SCC for temporary files that serve nothing after building the package.

 

Best regards
