Cannot build package for folder having classes, xcontrol

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:15:44 +0000

I have some 6 classes. Among which one inherits the other and the remaining four are independent class i.e they dont have any child classes. But these independent classes have other classes objects within their data cluster.

For Eg:
Say i have classes 1,2,3,4,5,6. Class 6 inherits class 5. The remaining classes architecture is as below.

Class 1 data cluster has class 2 object inside it. Similarly for class 2 and 3. Hence the class 1 methods have dependencies in class 2 and so on. The classes share same typedef's and some reusable vi's. Also i have some classes to be build in some other package that inherits a class from this package. Will VIPM support this?

I tried building package for the entire folder but VIPM aborted the process saying Generic file I/O error. I could not find any specific reason for this. But i can mass compile that folder in LV without any errors and there is no missing dependencies when i add the whole folder to a project.

My PC details:
LV installed version: 2010 SP1
VIPM: 2011

VIPM Labview 8.5

Sun, 13 May 2012 01:47:12 +0000

I'm using labview 8.5 under Lubuntu 12.04 i386 and I have Labview 8.5 Installed.
Can someone please tell me where can I download this VIPM?
Thankks in advance!
I'm currently using RTE 8.5 with labview.

Wrong path for DLL with .NET assembly

Tue, 08 May 2012 09:00:15 +0000

I created a package with VIs that make use of .NET classes. After installation, when I drag a VI from the newly created palette onto the block diagram, LabVIEW searches for a couple of seconds for the DLL, eventually finds it in the folder into which my VIs have been installed by the VIPM and then displays a dialog message that a dependency has been loaded from a new path:

The .NET assembly expected to be at "C:\.LabbitMQ\RabbitMQ.Client.dll" was loaded from "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\vi.lib\Zen Informatics\LabbitMQ\RabbitMQ.Client.dll".

Is there any way to get rid of the searching and the displayed message?

LVOOP class (lvclass) control/constant should be available in palette

Tue, 08 May 2012 08:46:21 +0000

I used the VIPM (Commmunity edition) to create a package containing a couple of LVOOP classes. In the palette entries created upon installation, only VIs are available. Is there any way to make the actual class available via the palette (i.e. on the front panel palette as a control/indicator) and on the block diagram palette as a constant? If not, would it be possible to integrate this feature in a future version of VIPM?

unnamed_cluster in xml

Mon, 07 May 2012 18:54:45 +0000

Hello,

I reviewed the postings and didn't see one that addresses my specific problem. What happens is that when I write out my cluster, it is parented by an unnamed_cluster designation:

Bridge Widening

93811

How do I configure this to eliminate? I've attached the XML file I'm using that generates this problem LV 2011. Thanks.

Labview 8.2 and VIPM in Lubuntu 12.04

Mon, 07 May 2012 14:02:15 +0000

I tried to install VIPM in Lubntu 12.04 and when I installed it, it messed up my system. What happened is that after I rebooted my system, I arrived at the login screen and after I entered my username & password, it asked for it again, so I could never log in.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to succesfully install VIPM 2.0.3 in Lubuntu 12.0.4.
Thanks in advance!

Upgraded EasyXML --> Error

Wed, 02 May 2012 09:53:30 +0000

Hi all,

i just upgraded my EasyXML from Version 1 to the latest version, and suddenly my whole project doesn't work anymore.

LabVIEW shows the following error:

LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.
=========================
NI-488: Command requires GPIB Controller to be Controller-In-Charge.

I tried downgrading EasyXML but the error remains.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Arthur

Access "setup" and "teardown" from VI Tester GUI

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:47:29 +0000

I really like the double click in VI Tester GUI which opens that specific test VI. Similarly, it will be really handy if we can access/open the "setup" and "teardown" VIs for any test by simply right clicking on the selected VI in the VI Tester GUI as show here: http://screencast.com/t/54C5UW26

VIMP hangs during package installation and produces huge error log files

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:44:55 +0000

I have VI Package Manager 2011.0.1 on Win7 with Labview 2011. I can start the VIMP just fine but if I try to install any package the program hangs. VIMP actually downloads the package, but after that the VIMP returns to the Package Information window where it states that the package is not compatible with the operating system of with the LabVIEW version although it was compatible before the intallation started. At the same time in the main window the satus bar reads "ready ...", but is un responsive and install and uninstall buttons below the menu bar are flickering. I have to kill VIMP at the task manager.

While being hung the programs writes to the error log file (C:/ProgramData/JKL/... ) multiple times in a second the same following peace of text:

=========== START of VIPM Error Message ===========
An internal VIPM Error has occured on: keskiviikko huhtikuu 25, 2012 at 01:02:41

This result huge error files tens of megabytes.

So what to do?

Also do I have to run the VIMP as administrator?

Extensible Capability of XML Files

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:08:59 +0000

One of my colleagues that I work with uses Perl to read & write XML files. One on the features that he likes most about this is that the XML files are extensible in the sense that more information can be added to the files later without breaking previous code that was used to write and read the original version of the files before additional information was added.

I was wondering if there is some tip or trick to having this same capability with the VI's available in the XML toolkit. One way that I was thinking of was instead of using "Easy Read XML File.vi" directly I could read the all the data within the file first with LAbVIEW's file read VI's, then do some processing on the text to extract only necessary data and then use "Easy Parse XML.vi" on select portions of the file.

There may be some other method that would require less custom coding for each file. Thanks for any input.

Regards,
Anthony

Issue with comparing 1D double array's

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:38:31 +0000

I was just creating a unit tests which compares to 1D arrays of doubles with each other. But it fails all the time while the data is actually equal to each other... Are there any issues now about comparing 1D double array's?

Idea for VITester

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:05:50 +0000

It would be awesome if you were able to manipulate the order in which tests are being done (and optionally leave tests out).

Example. I have a delete VI which deletes something. I return a boolean if it has actually been deleted. I also have a search VI which can look something up. Now in the unittest of the delete VI I have to actually verify that the record has been deleted. So after it has been deleted I also call the search VI, in the same unittest, which then checks if the record has been deleted. I also have a unittest which tests the search VI.

It would save me time (not programming the check on the unittest for delete) when I would be able to easily manipulate the order in which the unittests are being called. I could for example then first click the delete unittest and afterwards the search unittest. Further this would make a lot of test combinations possible, 2^(number of unittests) further enabling one to test the software more intensively.

The only problem which crosses my mind now is that you will have to be able to manipulate the tests. For example I have programmed the search unittest for a the search of ID:4 but not for ID:X where X is the ID that is being deleted for the delete test.

Order of array elements preserved?

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:03:46 +0000

Firstly, and I know I've said this before, but EasyXML is a great product that really fills a niche in the LabVIEW world. My customer wants a new version of a long-running application, and using EasyXML has saved me man-days of design, development and test time - so a big thanks to JKI!

On to my quesiton: XML inherently doesn't support ordering of elements (that's why we can attached attributes to elements, so we can distinguish between them), but I was wondering if EasyXML does. From my limited testing, it looks like EasyXML will populate an array of elements in the order they appear in the XML file on disk - is this always the case?

Here's a simple illustraive example - imagine this is deep inside an XML file:


     
          Small
          Red
     
     
          Medium
          Green
     
     
          Large
          Blue

Will the array in my XML cluster always have these elements in the order they appeared in the file? I know that it's not technically right to rely on this, but I'm hoping the answer is "yes"

Minor bug - sort by unnamed column

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:12:38 +0000

I looked around but didn't see this noted anywhere...

If you try to sort on an unnamed column by clicking the header all the packages disappear from the list. Clicking on a named column header brings them back.

Writing out Variable Name and Value

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:51:39 +0000

In an application that we are using, we have many variables, they are stored in a data structure as variants although their type varies. I would like to be able write their names and values out to an XML file using a string as the name and just the variant as the value. This works for one element, however when I try to write them all out using an array I get Error 1. I have attached the VI. Maybe there may even be a better method for doing this, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Overview of use in project

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:05:28 +0000

I've read through the getting started article and read the article on Hardware Mocking but what I see is just an arbitrarily modified VI being embedded in another VI which does simple comparison testing. Is that what VI Tester does? Could I see a more "real world" example of how and, perhaps more to the point, why I would do this? As a rule, I test a VI when I construct it. This seems overly formalized for most cases. Why would I want to retest a working VI later?

VIPM and Lion

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 03:28:34 +0000

Hello -

I'm trying to install the Arduino LabVIEW Library for Mac OS X, however I've run into an issue. I've had past experience with VIPM on Windows, and my experience has been nothing short of great. Now, I seem to be having a few issues. Whenever I try to install VIPM, I get a permissions error. I've read somewhere that VIPM does not support OS X Lion. Any truth to this?

I've got the raw .vip file, is there a place where I can place it to allow LabVIEW to work with it?

Thanks, Dominick.

VIPM 2011: Recursive VIs cannot be built in package... again...

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:42:59 +0000

(cross-posted on LavaG.org)

Hello to all, boys,

I'm using VIPM ver 2011.0.1 (build 1692) dic 07/2011 Community Edition with OpenG Builder ver 3.0.1-2.

I am trying to create a package to a library for LabVIEW 2011 that uses recursion native, but Package Builder gives me the same problem described by Kring to "Known Issue (Case 8006): VI Package build hangs in LabVIEW 2009 when recursive VIs included in package" and stated fixed from version 3.0 and later ...

I think in my case the problem is that recursion is not "direct" ... Let me explain ...

In my library there is the following sequence of calls: VI_A call VI_B that call VI_C that call VI_A!

If I realize the simple recursion VI_A call VI_A, the Package Builder executes with success, but building my library, it fail waiting infinitely for the VI to load in memory... the same issue reported by Normandine... Even in may case, I have to kill the process.

I do not know if Package Builder maintains a global list of calls, but I think the problem may reside in the test that checks for the sub-VI called the list of callers ...

I'm sorry it could not provide a possible solution ... :-(

Thank to all!

Internal dependency ID string (used for renaming) breaks build

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 09:43:15 +0000

I ran into the following problem the other day.
I was building a source distribution with the LabVIEW App Builder (not VIPM) and the .lvproj file included dependent VIs (from VIPM packages, as well as any of their internal dependencies too) in a virtual folder so that they can be included in the source-dist.
It happened after I updated a package and installed the latest version.
It went something like this:

I went to build some code and I got this error:

I checked my .lvproj (you can't see but these were in a Virtual Folder under My Computer NOT the Dependencies ProjectItem) and there was missing VIs - weird!:

I knew the package was installed so I checked the .lvproj's Dependencies and that's where I found the VIs I was looking for and also discovered the VI names had changed:

The dynamically changing names had broken my build!
Of course the workaround is that anytime I update this package I have to manually update the .lvproj.

Granted this use case might be limited however, my proposal is that the ID string (or whatever it's called) used to rename internal dependencies becomes a property of the .VIPB and is reused on subsequent builds (but if there was a need there should be a way to reset it - I cannot think of one at the moment). This would fix this issue.

Thoughts?

Which edition(s) of VIPM do we need?

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:06:26 +0000

Our LabVIEW developers are beginning to collaborate and I'm pushing VIPM, but I don't know which edition(s) we need. My thoughts are that we need:

one or more Enterprise editions for each repository manager (I expect that we'd only have one)
mostly Professional editions so the rest can create & use VIPC files in our projects
perhaps a few Community editions for developers that are not managing projects. Can these users connect to a private repository made by an internal Enterprise user?

Does this make sense?

How much are subscriptions for the Professional and Enterprise editions?

Package not compatable, odd error

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:36:50 +0000

Hi all,

Tried searching endlessly for a solution or an explanation but I cannot find one.

I'm using the Newest version of LabView, the newest version of VIPM, and am attempting to install the LabView interface for Arduino. VIPM tells me, however, that the package is not compatable with any version of LabView installed on my computer. Odd, since I'm using the newest, and everything I find says that LIFA should install on my version with no problems.

I'm on windows 7 64 bit, using labView 8.5 and VIPM 2011, attempting to install LabView Interface 2.1.1.69
I have the newest version of VISA installed.

I've tried manually downloading the package and attempting an install, but I get the same error.

Help?
Thanks

DLL Dependencies

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:25:33 +0000

What is the right way to go about including binary dependencies (like DLLs my VIs are calling) into a toolkit distribution?

Unpublished Dependancies

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:54:48 +0000

I've been able to make a set of packages which have dependencies between each other. I now would like to make a high level package which is empty except for a placeholder file that just has the other packages in its dependencies list (like OpenG) to make installation simple.

The problem is that these are all local unpublished packages and when I try to install the 1 high level package it pops up the "Resolving Package Dependencies..." message which appears to never end, forcing me to end the VIPM process to exit (maybe a bug?).

My assumption is that this is not possible without the Enterprise edition in which a published repository would exist to find the missing dependencies, and that right now the package just has no concept of where the other packages are. Is this correct?

If so, does this mean for the moment I'll have to install each package in the correct order manually to make sure the dependencies jive with each other?

We are using VIPM Professional (build 1692), if that is relevant.

Thanks!

Bug? Build Scripts not working in LabVIEW 2011

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:56:51 +0000

VIPM 2011.0.1 (build 1692)

Steps to reproduce the bug (if it can be reproduced)
Create a package in VIPM using LabVIEW 2011
Add a Pre and Post build hook and configure to return information

Expected behavior (what would happen if the bug didn't exist)
When the package is build, information is available in each script (through variant attributes)

Actual, observed behavior (the bug)
No information available in either build script as variant input is not updated

Test Hook.zip (21.28K)
Number of downloads: 30
[Code is in LabVIEW 2009]

If I run this in LabVIEW 2009 it works fine, but when I run it in LabVIEW 2011 it doesn't work.
This is on the same PC (Windows 7 x64) so it must be related to a change in LabVIEW 2011?

Attached is the code used in the above report (Build Hooks aren't excluded in build spec but doesn't matter).
This issue would not affect un/install scripts as they have no data passed to them.

Internet explorer renaming .vip files to .zip files.

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:58:00 +0000

I have had several reports of customers trying to download Package Manager files off my website and are reporting that are turned into zip files. I have only been able to gather a limited amount of information on their computers so far. I appears that they are trying to use internet explorer 8 and may not have LabVIEW or VIPM on the computer used to download the files. I haven't been able to reproduce this on my computers but have had several independent reports of this behavior.

Is this a known issue? Is there any way to force it to download with the proper extension?

Problems Running VIPM on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:15:44 +0000

I've just rebuilt my PC from scratch as my hard disk crashed. Everything has gone smoothly and the PC is running fast (I know this won't be the case after a few weeks!!)

However, I seem to be experiencing a problem with VIPM.

I wanted to install LabVIEW's Structured Error Handler (which I had done previously) for a live project I'm currently working on. When I opened the package it informed me that it had a dependent GXML reference library. I located and installed this and then returned to the install of the SEH package. The install appears to start but then says "Resolving Package Dependencies" and does nothing else regardless of how long I leave it. At the same time my processor usage hits about 90% and VIPM consumes 250MB RAM.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I could try.

I've tried uninstalling GXML and VIPM, then re-installing them both but the same thing happens. I have to kill the VIPM process in Task Manager.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm on a tight schedule to get my project completed for a customer.

Thanks in advance.

State Machine as a subVI of a State Machine

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:47:12 +0000

Hi All,

I've got two VIs, both implemented as JKI state machines. I'd like to incorporate one of the SMs as a subVI into the larger SM (and display elements of its front panel on a tab). So far, it seems that trying to simply block the main VI as it (guessing) waits for the subVI to finish doing something.. but as it's in a state machine it never really completes. So can this be done? Has this been done? Any tips? I can provide more information if necessary.

Thanks,
Brian

Feedback on Case: 12969: 'Prevent VIPB from creating package names with invalid characters'

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:23:32 +0000

Firstly, congrats on the 2011.0.1 release.

I have some feedback on Case 12969 which does not allow e.g. a period in the Company Name and overrides it to an underscore.

E.g. OpenG.org => OpenG_org

In the release notes, it says that this is to prevent VIPM from creating package names with hyphens and periods.
However, adding a period to the Package Name is allowed (e.g. this could affect the rebuilding of legacy packages - so that makes sense).

In summary, I am suggesting is that the Company Name should allow periods however, it should override the hyphen in the suggested Package Name (if that is where the issue is).

Embedding dependencies in a package

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:18:28 +0000

Hi,

as I remember, the older versions of VIPM had an option to store dependencies in the vip-file itself (but differently name-spaced).
Is this at all possible with the current version?

VIPM hangs when trying to install FPGA IP Digital Buses

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:33:26 +0000

When I select "FPGA IP Digital Buses, VIPM will display in the status bar "Resolving Package Dependencies". It will then proceed to sit there for an indefinite amount of time. This install is on a new Windows 7 platform with a fresh install of LabView. The same problem occurs whether the install is on 2011 or 2010 SP1. The only way to abort VIPM is to kill it with Task Manage. Then you have to reboot the PC because VIPM will not restart. By the way, CPU utilization goes to 50% on two of the four cores.

Any ideas?

pkg build aborted: "The following source VIs or Libraries are missing"

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:47:23 +0000

Hello-

I thought this would be the appropriate place to inquire about an issue I'm having (likely creating myself haha).

First off, I'm using LabVIEW 2011, and VIPM build 1692

When I first built a 'test package' just to see how the process worked, things went smooth just like the youtube video explaining how to do so...

Somewhere along the line, after building the first package containing actual VIs I want (and realizing I needed to rebuild or build a new package to replace) the builder started looking into LV's vi.lib for the source files (of the first vi it runs into) even though the subvis are in a subdir in the path I specify as the 'source directory'

The directory I'm dragging into 'source directory' is as follows:

-[Main]
      -[Submain]
          QSMstructure.vi
          -[QSM VIs] 
                 queue.vi
                 dequeue.vi
                 ...
                 etc.vi

The queue and dequeue are subvis in the qsm structure...

I think what may be happening is that since QSMstructure.vi has subvis that no longer exist in vi.lib (because the package was uninstalled) it doesnt look for the subvis in the Main directory I pointed to...

any thoughts/ideas on how to figure this issue out?

Thanks!

I don't know if it's an issue w/ my icon editor in 2011, but there is no indication that there is an error.

VIMP in Ubuntu

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:46:04 +0000

Hi,

You might have noticed new Labview distributions has a script in them that allows installing LabVIEW on computers that are not based on rpm. I easily installed LV 2011 on my Ubuntu Oneiric 32-bit. However I cannot install the VIPM! I tried different methods, created links to the missing libraries and finally I was able to see the installation screen. But when I click on Next couple of time and select where to install, the window just disappears and there are no outputs on the command line either. I was so happy when I managed to run the vipm installer after dealing with 8.2 runtime related problems but now I cannot move further on. Haven't anybody tried this before? Where can I look to see what is the problem? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Şenol

Edit: I noticed that when I don't say sudo, installer won't start and I get the following error:
error 8 creating temporary LVSB resource file

LabVIEW caught fatal signal
8.2.1 - Received SIGSEGV
Reason: address not mapped to object
Attempt to reference address: 0x4
Segmentation fault

It looks like it cannot create a temporary folder since it does not have the rights, I guess we have to run the installer as a root?

P.S. This one seems to be a good method to get the run time running

Module Template Code from NI Week 2011

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 06:33:49 +0000

Hello Justin,

I am using the Module Template (along with the JKI State Machine) that you demoed at NI Week 2011 (Beyond State
Machines); good job on the presentation and thank you for providing the code.

I added my desired top-level vi to the module template library so that I
could generate public events and it works, but I am having a strange problem.
The generate public events vi is giving me an error 1 (very generic and hard
to track down), however, if I open the generate public events vi front panel
and run it directly (instead of as a sub vi) I do not get any errors... Any
suggestions?

It is inconsistent (sometimes no errors, but once they start I get them a
lot), and I have seen strange errors like this before with Active-X; where I
had to delete portions of the code and replace it to get it to work properly.

Also, do you guys still actively monitor the blogs below? I posted a few
related questions there as well:

Testings VIs inside LabVIEW Project Libraries

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:03:45 +0000

I'd like to write tests for some VIs that are inside a LabVIEW Project Library. The VIs are privately scoped, so in order to test these, I need to place the test case inside the Library.

From what I can tell, VI tester does not "see" the test if the test case is located inside a Library. If I move it out of the library into My Computer, and save all, the tests show up in VI Tester, but of course they are broken because they contain privately scoped VIs.

How should I go about testing privately scoped VIs in Libraries?

How to create simple tests

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:25:55 +0000

I'm just getting started with VI Tester and TDD in general, and am loving the added feedback its provided my development efforts...

I'm struggling with how to create *simple* tests for VIs that are highly integrated and have complex dependencies. I use a lot of Action Engines, and am having difficulty writing simple tests for these types of VIs.

Here's a more specific example:

I have a Configuration AE (which handles reading and writing a config file) which calls a Debug AE (which handles logging and display of debug messages on the front panel) which calls a Front-Panel References AE (which stores references to FP controls, for when I need to change the UI).

How can I write a *simple* test to test the Configuration AE, without initializing the Debug AE, and FP References AE? And how can I initialize the FP References AE without making a "dummy" front panel that has the same controls as my user interface? We're approaching a giant test harness that looks very much like the actual application.

Is the problem not in learning how to write a simple test, but in my architecture? Are these kinds of dependent Action Engines poor programming technique? Or do I need to write a test harness that initializes all my AEs before I start testing them?

TSVN 1.7.0

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:53:44 +0000

Hi, when I upgraded to TSVN 1.7, and JKI TSVN stopped working. The error is that the file is no part of the repository. This occurs to every file. The working directory was upgraded to 1.7.

Custom Category Icon

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 09:56:12 +0000

Hi

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default icon that is suggested for Custom Categoriy palettes. We're creating a lot of packages to be installed under 2 custom categories and it's a pain if somebody forgets to edit the custom category icon for the most recently installed package.

It would be nice to be able to specify a template to be used. Shave's a few extra seconds off the process !

Thanks
Chris
