Renaming a Test Function class

antonio.quizon · September 6, 2024, 8:23am

Is there a way we can rename a test function class to another name without breaking compatibility with existing test plans? E.g. multiple names

Thanks,
Miguel

Hi @Miguel, you can and we actually have some example code demonstrating this.

It does involve writing a plugin for the serializer, but once you have it you can get it to fix multiple breaks.

If you install the SDK package you can find under e.g

"C:\Program Files\Keysight\Test Automation\Packages\SDK\Examples\PluginDevelopment\Advanced Examples\BreakSerializerExample.cs"

You can also find it here:

github.com

opentap/opentap/blob/main/sdk/Examples/PluginDevelopment/Advanced Examples/BreakSerializerExample.cs

// Sometimes you need to introduce a breaking change in a plugin library.
// Other times you find that two steps does the same, and you want to consolidate the two.
// In any case, you might prefer that the old test plans are still able to load.
// this example shows how to use a ITapSerializerPlugin to migrate and load old test plans in with new plugins.

using System;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using OpenTap;

namespace PluginDevelopment.Advanced_Examples
{
    [Display("Old Delay Step", "Demonstrates an old version of test step which is wanted to migrate to a new version.",
        Groups: new[] { "Examples", "Plugin Development", "Advanced Examples" })]
    public class OldDelayStep : TestStep
    {
        public int DelayMs { get; set; }
        public override void Run()
        {
            TapThread.Sleep(DelayMs);
        }
