Hi,

I think I have a similar issue as Bjorn had.

I am working on a project where I have a bunch of Modelsim projects for simulation of our new IP (written in VHDL), and I have a window of opportunity to refactor it to use something more automatic for build & test.

Our current workflow is:

1. compile files with modelsim / TCL script
2. run TCLscript to show the saved waveform
3. visually inspect waveform & output files (mostly images)
4. add more signals, save wave.do, rerun simulation, stare at the waveform again

I used OSVVM before, and wrote a couple of automatic tests, and it worked ok with scripting everything with TCL & occasionally visually inspecting the waveform.

That being said, I hate TCL and would very much like to replace it with Python, especially if there is a prospect of integrating some unit tests for our code.

I tried Vunit before, but my issue is that I didn't figure out a smart way to save the waveform so I can rerun testcases while looking at the same signals of interest, instead of having to add them again manually.

I would like to use Vunit to add some automatic tests, but I need to support the old way of doing things in Modelsim (10.5b) because full test automation is just not feasible at this point. But I would like to set up a full regression test suite as soon as possible.

I know python & git so I might be able to help if you point me in the right direction.

P.S.
Should I open a new issue, or is it OK to continue this discussion here?
