Open Workspace programmatically from AddOn

[Devside_Victor]

Hello there,

I am trying to open a workspace from an AddOn with C#.

The basic idea is: The user picks a workspace from a list, clicks a button, the workspace opens, we wait till it is fully loaded, run some automated tests with the workspaces and close the workspace again.

I am currently struggling with the opening part. I could not find a method in the documentation which would allow me to open a workspace from an AddOn.

As a workaround I tried to get the correct MenuItem and trigger its OnClick() method. I am able to fetch the MenuItem. According to Microsoft doc MenuItems should have a PerformClick() method to simulate a user click, but it cannot be found in Visual Studio.

Does anyone has a suggestion on how to open a workspace programmatically?

Thank you all in advance.

Hello Devside_Victor,

Thank you for your post.

Opening a workspace from NinjaScript would not currently be supported.

However, I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to support workspace management via NinjaScript. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-663.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
