[Remove Block Diagram after Build with VIPM]

This appears to be a potential bug in newer versions of VIPM. Here is a related topic:

 

[High CPU usage with no active tasks]

I'm running VIPM BETA (build 2746), which shows an unusual average CPU load of 3-5% when the package manager is open and 10-15% when a package build specification is open. These values are a bit too high for my taste.

A comparison with VIPM 2019 shows an average CPU load of 3-5% in both cases.

[Build always fails with error]

I have upgraded to the latest build 2746 and can confirm that it is working now 👍

[Save button active during package build process]

Great job!

Built 2746 properly disables the save button during the build process.

[Build always fails with error]

I did a few more tests and found that the build fails only when there is a accompanying .vipc file (even if that file does not specify any dependencies). Recreating the file does not fix the issue. The only workaround I found is to manually add dependencies.

For comparison, here is a project for which the build succeeds (dependencies were added manually).

• https://bitbucket.org/drjdpowell/jsontext

[What is the purpose of "Install into Global LabVIEW Environment"?]

So there is this new checkbox which isn't explained anywhere.

What does it do?

[Build always fails with error]

You can clone the repositories from GitHub and try yourself:

• https://github.com/LogMANOriginal/LabVIEW-Composition
• https://github.com/LogMANOriginal/JSONtext-Object-Serialization

I should probably mention that I'm using LabVIEW 2021 BETA (21.0b10) for the build.

[Build always fails with error]

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the build process always fails for me and the error message is not helpful (see below).

I have mass-compiled the project and found no broken VIs (build passes with VIPM 2019.0.0).

Steps to reproduce

• Open a package build specification
• Press Build Package

[Save button active during package build process]

The final message might be due to the build actually failing. I receive the same error when I don't try to break things.

[Save button active during package build process]

Steps to reproduce

• Open package build specification
• Increment the package version (save button must be active - don't press it yet)
• Press Build Package

Notice that the save button is active during the build process.

• Press Save Package Project

The configuration is saved and the dialog will return to edit-mode (build process is still running).

After a few seconds the build process fails with an error.

[VIPM 2021 Beta Download and Getting Started]

Thanks!

By the way, the link on the download page still says "VIPM 2020", although it correctly links to the 2021 discussion forum.
