Disable link test via HMScript

[wchildress]

I have several test links in a maintenance folder. I want to be able to disable all of the associated tests via HMScript. DisableAllTests does not affect the link tests. I really need this as it is easiest to create links in the maintenance folder rather than reorganizing my tests or calling out / adding each test to the script when we modify our affected servers by maintenance mode.

So, you want to remove links?
I have added your request into "to do" list. Low priority

No - I want to use the links to disable the actual tests. I create links in various "maintenance" folders. I run a file compare tests looking for a trigger in our config file on the servers. When we are pushing releases or performing other maintenance i need our tests disabled so they don't try to restart services or send alerts. I created a HMScript that sets the current folder and then "DisableAllTests" only real tests get disabled not any "link" tests or the tests they are linked from. This is odd because i can do it manually. Is there a "DisableAllLinks"?

Oh, I see. Yes, script works with tests but it does not use links.
Probably we should add new command "UseLinks=yes|no"
I think we can implement this pretty soon...

WOW - super quick. What do I need to do to active links on in the script? Out of the box nothing happened.

Insert UseLinks yes command into the script (before DisableTest command)
