Unhelpful Error When Including a Broken VI and the 'Remove block diagrams' Option is EnabledIf you include a broken VI in a package and disable "Check for broken VIs" and enable "Remove block diagrams", NI Package Builder reports the below unhelpful error: "LabVIEW cannot compile one or more VIs because they do not have block diagrams. A VI broke during the build process from being saved without a block diagram. Either open the build specification to include the block diagram of that VI or enable debugging to include the block diagrams of all VIs in the build." This issue is fixed in TestStand 2020. Workaround: Ensure that all VIs in your Solution are not broken |
