Examples of using transfer parameters in script files with 'sys.argv'

start /b /wait Automation Builder.exe 
--runscript="D:\Script\ArgvAnd__main__Test.py" 
--scriptargs:'username password 3.14 "path=\"C:\temp\\"' 

Script file: ‎ArgvAnd__main__Test.py‎

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
print("sys.argv: ", len(sys.argv), " elements:")

for arg in sys.argv:
    print(" - ", arg)
print()
print("__name__: ", __name__)

Output result: ‎stdout‎:

sys.argv: 6 elements:
- D:\TestScripts\ArgvAnd__main__Test.py
- username
- password
- 3.14
- path= "C:temp"
__name__: __main__

For more information about the ‎__name__‎ global variable, see the Python documentation.

Examples of the message output

start /b /wait Automation Builder.exe --runscript="D:\Script\AmpelTest.py" --noUI 1>ScriptMessages.txt

CODESYS passes all messages which are generated by the script to the ‎ScriptMessages.txt‎ file. Other messages are printed to the command line.

start /b /wait Automation Builder.exe --runscript="D:\Script\AmpelTest.py" --noUI 2>NUL

CODESYS suppresses all messages, except for script messages. The script messages are printed to the command line.

Example of using the –scriptdebugger option

The following ‎initdebug.py‎ script was tested successfully with ‎pydevd‎-based debuggers, such as PyDev / LiClipse and PyCharm. To use this script, start CODESYS with the following command line:

--profile="Fanta Development Build" --scriptdebugger="D:\test\charmdebug\initdebug.py"

File: ‎initdebug.py‎:

from _future_ import print_function
from _future_ import unicode_literals
import sys
sys.path.append(r"D:\test\Env2\Lib\site-packages\pycharm-debug.egg")
import pydevd
def scriptdebuggersetup():
pydevd.settrace('localhost', port=51234, stdoutToServer=True, stderrToServer=True)
def scriptdebuggershutdown():
pydevd.stoptrace()
