Im currently working on my Test Suit where I have to run several linux command with input that I have in my testcase.

Is there any built-in function or any lib that enable me to do this? Ive been searching around but no result.

Thanks alot :D

Yes, there is.
Namely the PIPE test port:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/titan/titan.TestPorts.PIPEasp

You can execute the command and interact with it via the stdin and stdout

Thanks for the reply.

I've actually never used any extra ttcn libs on gitlab.eclipse but the ones that my operator setup. So I dont really know what are the dependencies for this libs as I dont see any import in the .ttcn files and what to do with those .cc and .hh files, any suggestion ?

Dear All,

Another way could be the external function.

Hi Yann,

yes, in my implementation I use an external function which sends a query to the user via UDP and waits for a response (the PTC is blocked until the response arrives).
An external MMI server gets these queries and presents them to the user on a nice GUI and upon user response forwards it to the TTCN Tester.

For queries over UDP it is better to use UDP or IPL4 test port.

Please note that the blocking of the execution in external function can cause some unexpected problems.

We experienced a lot of weird problem with executing external commands/programs from external function. Like non closable sockets, messed up log files, double or missed events and messages etc.
