[feature request] Cannot Create Empty VIPC File From VIPCE Screen via VIPM Screen

[jgcode]

VIPM 2010.0.2.1592 Professional

 

Use Case: Create an empty VIPC file manually as evidence in a workflow that it is known that there are no dependencies for that project or as a placeholder for future dependencies.

 

Steps to reproduce the bug (if it can be reproduced)

Open VIPCE Screen from VIPM Screen

This will produce a VIPC dialog with no packages

Press Save Package Configuration button

 

Expected behavior (what would happen if the bug didn't exist)

Dialog to save VIPC file to disk.

 

Actual, observed behavior (the bug)

Error dialog:

 

 

Note: On VIPB screen pressing Open VI Package Configuration then Save Package Configuration button allows user to save empty VIPC file to disk.

This is intended behavior. But I've put in a feature request: [case 10519] Allow users to create empty VIPC files

Thanks Michael.

Work-around...

 

1. Create a VI Package Configuration and add one or more packages.
2. Save it to disk.
3. Remove all the packages.
4. Save it again.
