VIPM Package Build Problem

VIPM 2020.3 (build 2540)

I'm getting a bizarre error. I get a build failure where VIPM claims that the following source library is missing

C:\Common\Generator Interface\Message Interfaces\Gen11 Message Interface\Gen11 Message Interface\Gen11 Message Interface.lvlib

When the library actually is located here.

C:\Common\Generator Interface\Message Interfaces\Gen11 Message Interface\Gen11 Message Interface.lvlib

This library is a collection is actor message interface classes if that makes a difference. I'm also been able to do a mass compile of the entire directory without any errors.

 

This might not be related, or a quirk of the builder that I don't know about: The other weird thing is if I open the project while VIPM is in the failed state, the error list contains a bunch of failed VIs that couldn't find a .NET library located within my project.

(This project is pretty big and contains some proprietary information so I can't upload it. Sorry, that makes it hard to troubleshoot.)

Does the VIPM error dialog state which calling VI is trying to find that missing VI?

The dialogue has two parts: one that shows you the missing VIs, and the second that shows you which project source VIs are calling the missing VIs

also, often the culprit is a VI on disc that is not actually being used anymore, but it’s broken. The package builder is including it, even though it’s not being called by anyone

Thanks for posting the screenshot. What does the dialog show after you press OK? It should indicate the caller of that missing vi.

it’s hard to know for sure if A mass compile of your Source folder would fix the issue. Possibly, yet sometimes the linkages can be crossed up across different projects.

On a whim, I decided to try and delete the lvlib and rebuild a new one (they weren't that complicated). That seems to have solved the problem.

Some sort of corruption? (although looking at the file in Notepad++, I'm not sure where that could have possibly gone wrong)

 

Either way, thanks a lot for the help.
