Problem with Saveall

[Stagg54]

So I filed a service request on this and NI has been helpful but I haven't managed to resolve it yet, so I'll post what I know here and maybe someone will have an answer. It appears from talking to NI that this may have been resolved in 2011. Currently I am using 2010 SP1, 32bit on Windows 7. Upgrading to 2011 may not be option. I'm looking into that.

Here is how I noticed the issue:

I was trying to deploy and run some code on an RT target. When I deployed the code it asked me to save a particular lvclass file. I hadn't changed the class, so I'm not sure why it wanted to save it. I clicked ok to save and got into this endless loop where it kept asking me to save it. Clicking cancel got me out of the loop, but then I couldn't deploy the app.

I thought maybe the class was corrupted so I tried to mass compile it and I got the following error: Fatal Internal Error at OMUDclasslinker.cpp line 4161.

I tried running the same code not on RT but within the regular LabVIEW environment and it ran fine.

I also noticed that: The save-all button is always enabled and everytime I click it and click on the show details button, it says that there have been changes to this particular class as well as its parent, even though I haven't changed anything. When I click save, this time I get no error, but afterwards the saveall button is still enabled. And the next time I click it the same thing happens.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Have you tried a forced recompile? Shift+Ctrl+click the Run arrow.

You also retry rewriting the class from scratch - I've read a number of posts where that was a solution, though the reason why it happened was still a mystery.

Have you tried opening on someone else's machine?

I did try recreating the class and that did not work.

I have not tried the forced recompile. How does that differ from a mass compile?

I don't know the technicalities, maybe someone else can chime in. I know that on a couple random occasions, I've had a broken arrow with no error listed and force compiling corrected the problem. LabVIEW must use iterative compiling, so maybe what's caused your constantly-unsaved state is some bit of state information not getting updated or something. Hard to say.

I don't have as much hope for it now, though, if re-writing the VI from scratch didn't help. The next step would be to start deleting stuff and see when the problem goes away.

I was able to upgrade to LV2011 SP1 and the problem went away. Not exactly what I was looking for, but it did work. I did not try the force recompile. At some point I may go back and do that just to see what happens.

Thanks for all the advice and help. And thanks for NI for pointing me in the right direction.

And thank you for your patience.

It was my first experience with a service request and it went quite well. Luckily I was able to upgrade to LV2011 for this project, otherwise I probably would have been much more upset.
