Hi Ppl,
We have created an application using the TestStand full Featured user interface. The application is pretty large, having quite a few utilities other than the full featured user interface. I have created few LabVIEW modules reusing the same code that was used to create the application. I noticed that when I'm using the LabVIEW runtime engine adapter, these LabVIEW modules are not getting loaded when I try to specify module and returns error -18002. I found that this was because both the module and the application were using VI's with same name. When I renamed the LabVIEW modules and relinked them I was able to load the code module.
Please suggest me some good way to deploy these code modules. I tried using source distribution, in which I had to source distribute, then rename a large number of VI's, relink them and then deploy them. Since I had included vi.lib and instr.lib there were aroung thousand VI's in one code module. I feel this approach is pretty tedious.
Thanks,
Sathish

Hi,
The trouble is you cant have the same VI loaded from two different locations. In your UI the location is going to be in the exe whereas your code module is coming from some disk loaction. Therefore you have try make the VI come form the same location or rename the VI for one of the calls. You could trying calling your VI dynamically from within you UI.

Hi.
I know this is an old post, but I have the same problem, but the context is a bit different.
I have a sequence file which contains a call to am instrument driver VI called "Initialize.vi". This VI is a member of a lvlib, and thus it its fully qualified name is "<lvlib name>:Initialize.vi".
The TestStand Full Featured OI also includes a vi named "Initialize.vi". This VI is a member of "TS Full LabVIEW UI Dependencies.lvlib" which again resides inside "TestExec.llb" (I guess the TestStand team was not told that no one has been using llb's for the past decade or more).
In my book the two VI's both named "Initialize.vi " are name spaced apart and you should be able load in the same LabVIEW instance no matter if it is the runtime engine or the development environment. But it turns out that I run in to trouble anyway.
The scenario is as follows:
To me this sound like TestStand is not handling LabVIEW name spacing correctly. Especially when I use an absolute path, there should be no problem what so ever.
I am using LabVIEW 2019 SP1 and TestStans 2019 f1.
I have attached a simple example that illustrates the problem.
Can anyone from NI please explain what is going on with this, thanks.

J C Andersen,
Update: I have reproduced the problem in house and at this time it looks a LV bug. I am working with the LV R&D to resolve this issue. The only workaround I know of at this time is to rename the VI in the User Interface.
I will post an update once I have more information.
