Disable execution of wave.do in non-gui mode #29

Closed riedel-ferringer closed 1 year ago

riedel-ferringer commented 2 years ago

I can only speak for ModelSim, but there you don't want to source 'wave.do' if no GUI is open. This would result in tons of error messages, because "signals cannot be added to a (non-existent) waveform view", etc etc

Suggested solution in OsvvmProjectScripts.tcl

proc SimulateRunSubScripts {LibraryUnit Directory} {
  variable ToolVendor
  variable ToolName
  variable NoGui

  RunIfExists [file join ${Directory} ${ToolVendor}.tcl]
  RunIfExists [file join ${Directory} ${ToolName}.tcl]
  if {! $NoGui} {
    RunIfExists [file join ${Directory} wave.do]
  }
  SimulateRunDesignScripts ${LibraryUnit} ${Directory}
}

Thanks.

This makes an interesting point in that what do we put in the files ${TestName}.tcl? Do we expect the author of these files to mask out waveforms as above?

riedel-ferringer commented 1 year ago

In that case, I would say it's up to the author of the respective file. Because creating it must be done explicitly. Loading a wave.do, on the other hand, is done implicilty. 'wave.do' is the default name, so it might be there "accidentially" and should thus not break the simulation.

Now part of PR 35 (https://github.com/OSVVM/OSVVM-Scripts/pull/35)

This was already done to the dev branch.
