NI LabVIEW CLI: Call to VI Analyzer

[A.E.M]

Hi,

I'm trying to call the VI Analyzer through the NI LabVIEW CLI.

Documentation and example can be found here:

https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvconcepts/cli_predefined_operations/

So I make a new NI Analyzer task manually, that I want to call from the command line.

LabVIEWCLI -LabVIEWPath "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2018\LabVIEW.exe" -OperationName RunVIAnalyzer -ConfigPath "C:\Git\0000 Test For Delete\analyzefile.viancfg" -ReportPath "C:\Git\0000 Test For Delete\output.html" -ReportSaveType "html"

However, this just throws an error 

Operation output:
Error Code : 85
Error Message : Scan From String (arg 1) in RunVIAnalyzer.lvclass:ParseArgumentsCore.vi->RunVIAnalyzer.lvclass:ParseArguments.vi:2800001->RunVIAnalyzer.lvclass:RunOperation.vi:5910001->CoreOperation.lvclass:CallRunOperation.vi:4230002->ExecuteRunOperation.vi:5250001->ExecuteOperation.vi:6900002->ExecuteOperation.vi.ProxyCaller
An error occurred while running the RunVIAnalyzer operation.

RunVIAnalyzer operation failed.

Any idea what is wrong?

Within ParseArgumentsCore.vi there is a scan from string that converts the -ReportSaveType argument. Here is the block diagram:

And here are the options for the enum:

You need to match the case exactly, or else the scan from string will fail.

Would be nice if they had mentioned that in the help docs. Edit: Even worse! There's an example in the help docs that use 'html' in all lowercase!

Thanks, you are absolutely right!!

Yeah, I just copied the example which didn't work... Hehe...
