I am trying to set up continuous integration for my TwinCAT3 PLC project, including external tests through Python pytest. For this to work I need a script that does the following:

1. Build the solution

2. Activate Configuration (including uploading the PLC program)

3. Re-start TwinCAT in run mode

How can I program these things for CI?

Some similar questions (that I don't think fully cover mine):

• Beckhoff TwinCat3 CI/CD Docker

• TwinCAT3 build on Jenkins
