I have nothing to add to this thread, other than @alvise I think if you get this working you owe a few people some beer 🙂 To those patiently contributing to this thread, I sincerely thank you. This community is so much stronger due to you folks. Please never leave!

Nice! While you are there please convince Elon to buy NI and turn it back into an engineering company 🤣

Ah.. it is this (found here) NI_AppBuilder_Logging=True The result of adding this key is a details file gets created next to the .lvproj file. It can sometimes be useful to see what file a build is choking on.

Hi everyone, I am trying to debug a (exe) build that is breaking for reasons I don't yet understand. In the past I added some setting to my LabVIEW.ini file to get extra detailed information about the build process, but I cannot find that key listed anywhere. Can someone remember what it is? It was something like EnableDetailedBuildInfo, but it has been years since I needed it last so have got no chance of actually remembering the details.

Even better, thanks! After my brief investigation yesterday I was not super enthusiastic to mess around with ini files and signing things.

Thanks Antoine, that is a really useful link. I knew about the Project Providers, but thought it was just for things like adding stuff to the right-click menu. I will dig in 🙂

I have never needed to do this, but for some reason am now curious. Can anyone point me in the direction of where to look for documentation of how to add buttons like this?

I am probably going to get my details a bit mixed up here, but I ran into something quite similar to this last year. I think we were trying to either export a MAX config (or programatically reimport it or something) and it did not include our 408x based PXI cards. The official response from NI was that the System Configuration API does not support these cards! I will dig through my email tomorrow when I am back at my work PC.

Hi, Does anyone know how to make a simulated DAQ device using LabVIEW code? I am thinking about creating one programatically as part of some unit tests.

Thanks for the update @smarlow this is interesting to know. Not the best example of UI design!

Wow that looks like a huge effort, nice work! Really curious to take a look when you get around to releasing it.

Yikes! That is a weird bug indeed and would have been quite hard to find. Thanks for letting us know 🙂

I did use the Web VIs to make a data dashboard several years ago. Pretty simple stuff, retrieval of data from a LabVIEW implemented WebService, and a bit of data wrangling and graphing. All in all the experience was awful and I wish to never go through the pain again. Doing anything in the editor was tedious and frustrating, and the built in web server stopped working many times during development (for no reasons that I could tell). Eventually I hosted it with IIS and it worked pretty much first time and then perfectly afterwards. Definitely cannot recommend it for anything other than trivial webpages.

Thanks hooovahh. Now I am even more depressed. As a LV dev that list makes for pretty sad reading in 2022.

Ouch.
