Ghost dependency error [LabVIEW 2016]

[Cham35]

Hi,

one of the sub VI in my project is using the "report generation palette" with the function "New report.vi".

When I created this sub VI, I originally copy pasted pieces of code from an example found on the web which was showing how to manipulate Excel files with the "report generation palette" functions. Therefore the "New report.vi" was saved on the project as an independent sub VI (not in a library).

Later on, I removed the "New report.vi" sub function to replace it with the "New report.vi" from the "NI_report.lvclass" ("NI_report.lvclass" was added to my project automatically because I added the function from the "report generation palette", I guess).

Everything was fine, but then at some point, when opening any of the VIs of my project, I always get a dependency error which tells me that a sub VI "New report.vi" is missing. But the all VIs can be opened anyway and everything is running perfectly well.

The dependency actually disappear right after the error message (I guess the VI is loading with the "New report.vi" from the  "NI_report.lvclass" automatically, but then I don't understand why this change of dependency is never saved in the project..."

enclosed is a screen shot of the dependency error message I get when opening any VI (even the one having nothing to do with this "New report.vi" function) and then a screenshot of my project dependency folder where the VI which causes the error appears for a couple of second and then disappear automatically when the VI is fully loaded.

The project kept in memory that the sub function "New report.vi" is linked to this sub VI which no longer exist and does not want to keep in memory that it should use the "New report.vi" from the  "NI_report.lvclass" instead. Problem is that the dependency file error disappear so that I can't manually relink the "New report.vi" to the one of  "NI_report.lvclass".

If you have some tips...

thanks

regards,

Hicham

Those problems can be quite persistant, but generally, once this has relinked, File menu -> Save all to save VI's with the new dependancy. Ctrl+Run arrow on main program to force compile can also help (then Save all).

thanks for the answer.

When I make "explore" on the "New report.vi" it finds it in the lvclass, no problem. I can run the main VI or even the sub VI, no problem. I save all, no problem.

But if I close the VI and try to re open it, I still get the same error message...

Did you try to do Mass Compile (Tools -> Advanced -> Mass Compile) of the report generation library? Maybe, it can force it to load "missing" VI from proper place. It's just an idea, maybe it'll help...

This issue can be also b/c of different versions of report generation toolkit - what you use, and what you had in the example (and by loading VIs from example, it just messed up installed report generation toolkit...

NOTE: LabVIEW ninja trick not for the faint-hearted.  Don't try what you are about to see at home,. We are experts with years of training.

Spoiler

Or, go ahead and try it but don't blame me for the outcome

When you see that error.  Close the project without saving.  Open the lvproj with notepad search for the missing vi name.  

Post that text here.  Depending on what we see, we can advise further.

[Cham35]

Mass compile does not have any effect...

Here is the notepad of lvproj closed after getting the error. But there is no "New report.vi" in it, just from lvclass of report toolkick and llb.

Go to New report.vi after opening the VI and it loads the New report.vi.
-Right click on the vi and click on Find all instances and make sure all are referencing to the New report.vi from the .lvclass(Right Click Call set up and verify the path)
-Somewhere still there is a place where you have New report.vi which is still trying to load from the said path and when it is not able to load it from there then it is trying the one in .lvclass.
-Save all(This Project) and then reload it and check.

Here is the notepad of lvproj closed after getting the error. But there is no "New report.vi" in it, just from lvclass of report toolkick and llb.

I see that.  It looks like you've managed to corrupt  NIReport.llb <LabVIEW xxxx>\vi.llb\Utility\NIReport.llb\  where NI_report.lvclass is somehow linked to an oldvers of New Report.vi.  

New Report.vi has some funky sub.vis that are used to dynamically load Office report class plugins- I suspect the original source you copied from an online example caused the conflict.  

A repair pf the LabVIEW install "Should" correct it.  If Not, uninstall RG TK, Delete, that folder from vi.llb and re-install the TK.

@HINT: for evidence to support theory.  Check the Date Modified properties in the folder via Windows explorer.  If they look funky (not @ 6/8/2016 for vis and 9/8/2016 for folders) my magic 8-ball is well calibrated and the above methods should fix your issue.

Then try to avoid saving vis in vi.llb in the future.
