With the Lua script API in toolstar®testLX, toolstar®testWIN, toolstar®shredderLX, and toolstar®shredderWIN, you can create your own Lua scripts to influence the program's execution. The provided functions allow you, among other things, to display custom dialogs, intervene in the flow of a continuous test, or even load data from—or send data to—an HTTP API for use during the test or for subsequent integration into your ERP system.
Support, Consulting & Development
You are free to use and integrate the Lua script API yourself; however, toolhouse does not provide support for custom scripts. You are welcome to request a quote for your specific requirements, including extensions to the script API. Should you encounter technical errors in the documentation or the Lua API, we will of course rectify them as part of our standard support services.

General functions for launching automation scripts, displaying dialogs, and much more.
=====================================================================================================================
Function: tsApp.StatusLine (string message, int isError, int timeOutMS)
=====================================================================================================================
Displays the message on the program's status line.
Parameter | Description
--------- | -----------
isError | (optional) Set to 1 if this is an error message to be displayed in red.

Function: tsApp.RunScript (string filename, int flags)
=====================================================================================================================
Starts a ttsx script with the given filename.
Note that the script is not loaded directly from the file at this point, but searched in the scripts that were already loaded; thus, depending on your paths, you may not need to specify the full path here.
Note: Do not use an automatic reboot in the ttsx script if you want to continue the Lua script after the ttsx script, this constellation isn't supported yet.
####################################################### Flags #######################################################
(optional) Set to 0 or `tsApp.runNormal` for normal execution (default); the script's options will determine whether a result will be displayed on screen.
Set to `tsApp.runWithoutResultDisplay` to never show the result on screen.

The functions within the `tsSystem` namespace allow you to retrieve various system information about the local hardware—such as serial numbers, PCI IDs, graphics cards, or hard drives. For instance, use `tsSystem.GetDMI(tsSystem.dmiSystemSerial)` to include the current device's serial number in an HTTP API request. Alternatively, query all current drives using `tsSystem.GetDrives(tsSystem.drvHarddisk)` and use `tsSystem.GetDriveInfo("/dev/sda")` to obtain details about a specific drive. You can then use this information to, for example, launch a custom script for NVMe drives via `tsApp.RunScript("MyCustomScript.ttsx", tsApp.runNormal)`.
=====================================================================================================================
Function: tsSystem.GetDMI (int which)

Function: tsSystem.GetDriveInfo (string dev)
=====================================================================================================================
Retrieves information about the drive similar to the drive overview in the program. `dev` is one of the device names you got from GetDrives.
#################################################### Return Value ###################################################
Returns a table with the following keys, or `nil` for a non-existent device name.
"devName" -- the same as the input
"devID"

"sectorSize" -- int (bytes)
More may be added in the future as required.Autostart-Function
If your script provides a function tsAutostart ()and you choose the Lua autostart option on the "Program Start" page of the Settings dialog, this function gets called at the point when the regular autostart function would be executed, or the menu would be shown. Best place to start a ttsx script.
################################################### Example code ####################################################
function tsAutostart ()
-- Run the script MyCustomScript.ttsx with the tsApp.runNormal flag
tsApp.RunScript ("MyCustomScript.ttsx", tsApp.runNormal)
endCallback function during script execution (hooks)
If you provide a function tsRunningHook (int stage, int param)in your Lua script, it will get called during various stages while the ttsx script is running.
Note: If you start a script from initialization (not tsAutostart), the hook function must be declared above the tsApp.RunScript call, or the interpreter will not find it.
Note: stageCertificateSave will also be called after an erasure outside of a ttsx script; param is a string in this case.
=====================================================================================================================
Function: tsRunningHook (int stage, int param)
=====================================================================================================================
function tsRunningHook (stage, param)
if stage == tsApp.stageStart then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageAsked then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageTop then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageStartingRun then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageError then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageRunEnded then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageBottom then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
if stage == tsApp.stageEnd then
--tsApp.StatusLine ("Hook! stage="..string.format("0x%02x",stage)..", param="..param, 1)
end
end
###################################################### Stage ########################################################
Value | Description
--------------------------- | -----------
tsApp.stageStart | The very beginning of the script; good place to modify reports or user questions.
tsApp.stageAsked | A little later, any user questions/confirmations have been done. Modify min/max numbers here.
tsApp.stageTop | Output has been initialized - you can now write to the top of the report.
tsApp.stageStartingRun | A new total run is just starting; param is the number of the run, starting at 1.
tsApp.stageError | An error result has occured in a test.
tsApp.stageCertificateSaved | An erasure certificate has been saved; param is its file name incl. path (if local copy option set: local copy's path)
tsApp.stageRunEnded | A total run has just ended; param is the number of the run, starting at 1.
tsApp.stageBottom | Almost the end of the script, you can still write to the bottom of the report; param is the total number of test errors.
tsApp.stageEnd | The end of the script; all reports are saved and have their final file names; param is the total number of test errors.JSON-Functions
=====================================================================================================================
JSON library functions
=====================================================================================================================
Unless disabled in the dialog (or LuaOptions bit 0 in the ini file), we include a simple public-domain JSON parser (https://gist.github.com/tylerneylon/59f4bcf316be525b30ab) that your script can use with `json = require ("json")`, offering a `json.parse (string)` function that returns (nested) Lua table with the JSON elements, plus `json.stringify (table)` for the reverse functionality.
################################################### Example code ####################################################
-- Take a JSON string and get a Lua-Table
local jsonTable = json.parse("{\"name\":\"toolhouse\", \"age\":30, \"array\":[\"Diagnostic software\"]}")
-- Take a Lua-Table and convert it into a JSON string
local jsonString = json.stringify (jsonTable)
-- Write the JSON as string to the Status-Log
tsApp.StatusLine (jsonString, 0)HTTP-Functions
=====================================================================================================================
Function: tsHttp.Request (string url, string user, string pass, string postdata)
=====================================================================================================================
Performs a simple HTTP/HTTPS request to URL `url`. Use the optional `user` and `pass` parameters if Basic Authentication is required by the server. If the optional `postdata` is specified, it is used for a POST request.
#################################################### Return Value ###################################################
Returns two results `resultcode, data`.
If `resultcode` is negative, then it tells the error code from the cURL library (e.g. -6), and `data` contains the error description (e.g. "Couldn't resolve host name")". Otherwise, `resultcode` is the HTTP status code (such as 200 for OK or the infamous 404, etc.), and `data` is the server reply (which probably is an HTTP error message for non-OK results).
################################################### Example code ####################################################
-- Request data from an HTTP API and store the JSON result into a variable data, update the data and send it back
code, data = tsHttp.Request ("http://my.api.de/endpoint.json", "BasicAuthUser", "BasicAuthPw")
tsApp.StatusLine ("Got data from API: "..data, 0)
if code == 200 then
local jsonTable = json.parse(data)
jsonTable[1].name = "NewName"
code, data = tsHttp.Request ("http://my.api.de/endpoint.json", "BasicAuthUser", "BasicAuthPw", json.stringify(jsonTable))
if code == 200 then
tsApp.StatusLine("Updated data successfully", 0)
else
tsApp.StatusLine ("Error updating data via HTTP-API. HTTP-Code: "..code, 1)
end
else
tsApp.StatusLine ("Error getting data from HTTP-API. HTTP-Code: "..code, 1)
endLibraries and reusable code blocks
To make specific code blocks reusable, you can create Lua libraries. The functions contained within them can then be exported and used in the main script. For example, you could define the communication with your HTTP API in a library named "ErpApi.lua" and then selectively make specific functions available to the main script.
################################################# Lib: ErpApi.lua ##################################################
local ErpApi = {}
-- Local function, not exported, only callable locally in this file
function getAuthInfo()
-- Do stuff to get auth data like API-Keys
end
-- Exported, callable in other scripts
function ErpApi.getStuff(id)
-- Do calling stuff and data retrieval
end
-- Export functions
return ErpApi
################################################# Main: main.lua ##################################################
ErpApi = require "ErpApi"
function ErpGetStuff()
data, code = ErpApi.getStuff(1)
endUseful code blocks for your scripts
