lvmerge error code 53 while resolving conflicts

[usan_]

I am using tortoise git + lvmerge + lvcompare for source provisioning

when I try to resolve some conflicts, I got an error code 53 and message below

```

Invoke Node in NI_promergevis.lvlib:LVMerge Core.vi
<APPEND>
Method Name: <b>User Interaction:Merge VIs</b>

```

I could not find any solution to this and I check the setting correct by resolving very simple conflict

I'm only a novice at the versioning software + front end combo you have there, but the real issue is "why are you having these conflicts in the first place?"

IMO you should be trying to figure out why these conflicts are occurring instead trying to clean up after they occur.

I would avoid LV Merge at all costs, just because it easily gets out of hand based on the complexity of the VI.

Instead, I would manually get both the versions, do a lvcompare and manually merge them.

BTW, the best practice is to ensure that there is no need for an SCC conflict that would lead to a merge situation.

Hi usan_,

I agree with what the Guys already mentioned. I set up LV compare just to see the differences between the commits, but for actual changes I rather do it manually.

But for your error: Are you using XControls in your code? And which version of LabVIEW you're using? 
I found this for LV 2018,2019 Known Issues:

LabVIEW 2019 and 2019 SP1 Known Issues

Funnily it does not appear in 2020 or 2021 know issues, but at the same time, I couldn't find anywhere that it would be fixed 😄

yes I use XControl and Labview 2017. I think the issue you post is exactly what I want to know

Thanks
