Application cannot be built with class and interface in the same lvlib

[ImreSzebelledi]

Hello everyone,

I have experienced the following weird behaviour with LV2020:

If you have a class and an interface (the two are not related in any way) in the same lvlib and your application is using the class then the build fails with this message: LabVIEW: (Hex 0x696) You cannot inherit an interface from a class. Interfaces inherit only from other interfaces.

Update:

This error is related to the "Remove unused members of project libraries" option in the build spec:

If turned off then the app builds just fine and it is the same if all included classes & interfaces are used in the application.

This behavior should be reported as a bug to NI. Uncheck "Remove unused memebers of project libraries" would cause some side effects when you're building a "real" application which is more complicated that this narrow-downed version. It should be fixed. 

And a workaround is to build the .lvlib to a Packed Library(.lvlibp) first then direct call VI's from the packed library rather than the lvlib.

I have just checked with Labview 2020 SP1 and the bug seems to be fixed in that. The example builds just fine.
