How do I edit sldv_covoutput folder path?

Hi, I am having trouble keeping track of my test output files and wondered if anyone can help with this problem.

In Simulink Design Verifier configuration, I designated output folder as follows,

and I have disabled coverage analysis in my Coverage configuration is as follows.

But when I use Simulink Design Verifier to generate test cases, it keeps generating this sldv_covoutput folder in my rootpath that contains _cvdata.cvt files.

Where do I set path option for this folder? The name sldv_covoutput is nowhere to be found.

Thanks Junhyung for bringing this. This seems a genuine issue to me. I will definitely try to raise to the concerned team.

Hi @Junhyung,

You can define the full path of the Output folder in the text field itself - it will otherwise assume the root folder.

For instance, you could enter "C:\Users\username\Desktop\MATLAB\SLDV\sldvTest\sldv_output/$ModelName$" in the "Output folder" text field in the Settings window.

You can also dynamically set the full path of the output file using sldvoptions. Here is a quick example that simply defines the path with a string:

opts = sldvoptions;
opts.Mode = 'TestGeneration';
aFolder = "C:\Users\username\Desktop\"; % just a dummy folder name
saveSLDVFolder = aFolder + "sldvDataTEST\";
dvDataFileName = saveSLDVFolder + "$ModelName$_sldvdata";
opts.DataFileName = dvDataFileName;
sldvrun(aModel,opts)

This will generate the Simulink Design Verifier data file in a folder called sldvDataTest on the Desktop.

Hopefully this helps.

HI Pat,

There seems to be a little misunderstanding, the test generation output works fine. $ModelName$_sldvdata file is generated where I want it to be. Everything else, like report file, harness, also is generated in my designated path folder.

The problem is with the sldv_covoutput folder that contains cvt files. It seem to be generated in default by some tool I can't locate.

In Matlab help center, explanation is too simple, as shown.

Do you know where to set path for this sldv_covoutput folder?

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Junhyung,

Starting from MATLAB R2022b, sldv_covoutput folder always gets generated within sldv_output folder as mentioned in the documentation page.

But if you are using any release prior to R2022b, then the path for sldv_covoutput folder cannot be set explicitly and it will instead get generated within your current working directory only. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Alok

Hi @Junhyung - my apologies. I had indeed misinterpreted your question. Fortunately @Alok Nimrani was able to provide an accurate answer :-)
