Unhandled exception running g-cli

[PeterFoerster]

Hi all,

I installed g-cli in a vm and when running any commands I get an error. It doesn't make a difference if I try to run a vi or just run the command without anything. I'm using Version 2.4.0.5

The error I see is:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'G_CLI.LvVersions' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at G_CLI.LvVersions._ScanRegistry(RegistryView regView)
   at G_CLI.LvVersions.Scan()
   at G_CLI.LvVersions..cctor()
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at G_CLI.LvVersions.get_CurrentVersion()
   at G_CLI.Program.Main(String[] args)

previously I had labview-cli installed, which gave me the same result. Installation went without errors.

What might be causing this?

Just ran into this issue today! Have some builder PCs that were upgraded to add 2022 Q3 with RT/FPGA, as well as DAQmx/cRIO/XNET 22Q3/4 drivers, and even when the pipeline went to target the existing 2020 stack, g-cli came up with an almost identical exception.

The build machines that have yet to be updated with 2022 Q3 don't have this issue.

So according to the developers it's an issue with LabVIEW 2022 Q3, because of its name. Version 3 of g cli is supposed to fix this. G-CLI issue 128 

Haven't been able to test, yet. But I'm sure it works.

OK, I just tested it and this works with v3.0.0
