Hi @LukasVik! Taking https://github.com/VHDL/Compliance-Tests/blob/master/run.py as a reference, might this work?

from vunit.sim_if.factory import SIMULATOR_FACTORY
SIMULATOR_FACTORY.select_simulator().name

It is probably good to have this on the public api. I avoided it before to not exclude running tests for multiple simulators in the same run. I do not think that will happen or is so important though so we can merge this.

Thanks for the tip @eine. I really like you avatar. Monkey Island is great.

I agree. The design pattern is probably common enough among VUnit users that it makes sense to add to the public api. While I realise we don't want to clutter the api, this makes it more convenient than the previously available solution.

Thanks for merging!

Thanks! You are actually the first one that made a reference to it ;)

It is!
