No Longer Able To Read Conditional Symbols

[ShaunR]

I have a test harness that I haven't run for a while that uses the CCSymbols tag to lookup the conditional symbols of a project. It seems this no longer works and returns an empty variant.

There is also a GetSymbols.vi located in "<LabVIEW Version>\resource\plugins\Utility\IfDef.llb" which also no longer functions and returns an empty array. I've executed GetSymbols.vi on LabVIEW versions 2009 through to 2017 and none of them work. (I'm pretty sure it uses the same property node).

Investigating further, I have retrieved a list of tags and the only tags that seem to be available are these. I'm sure there were more than this and CCSymbols was among them.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Does anyone have an alternative way of getting the symbols?

LV 2015 SP1 - there is CCSymbols tag in "Get Tag Names":

Are you sure you're operating on right ProjectItem (i.e. "Root")?

(GetSymbols.vi also works if I connect Root as ProjectItem)

Yes. that works. I've checked through the SVN log and nothing has changed in the code from the last time it was run (over a year ago) so I'm not sure why this happened unless the default project refnum no longer returns the root.

Thanks for looking into it
