Assembly Manager

To control (switch devices on/off) on an Assembly during C# test execution in CANoe, use the AssemblyManager library — it handles the REST and access details so the tester doesn't have to. Communication happens via HTTPS, keeping the vHaaS Web UI's device status in sync.

Managing Assembly devices during C#-Testexecution in CANoe

Integration

Prerequisites

You need:

The PES vHaaS Assembly Manager package — latest release from the vHaaS Artifactory repository
A .NET test environment (vTESTstudio or Visual Studio)
A vHaaS Access Token (VHAAS_TOKEN) with control access rights — a shared team token also works

Steps

1. Add the Assembly Manager to your Testsuite

Place the downloaded files into your Testsuite so they are available in your test case implementation.

2. Enable the HTTP service in CANoe

Enable it via CANoe Options → Extensions → Connectivity → Enable HTTP Service.

3. Load the required VCDL files

Add HTTPAPI.vcdl and Serialization.vcdl to your CANoe configuration via Simulation → Communication Setup → Data Source → Load Data Source.

4. Configure Assembly_User.cs

Make the required parameter adjustments in Assembly_User.cs.

5. Set your vHaaS Access Token

Add your VHAAS_TOKEN to get control access rights during test execution.

Warning

Without a valid token, the AssemblyManager cannot control any Assembly devices during test execution.

6. Reference the Assembly description file

Optional, but recommended: download the Assembly's JSON description file (vHaaS Assembly → Assembly Setup → Download) and reference it via ASSEMBLY_DESCRIPTION_FILE_PATH. Recommended location: next to HTTPAPI.vcdl.

Public Interface (API)

The AssemblyManager exposes methods to power devices on and off, cycle boards, switch multiplexer channels, and query Assembly information during test execution. For the full list of methods and a usage example, see the Assembly Manager API reference.
