Sequence File Included in Built Package Will not Execute if Override Packed Project Library step is Configured to Build PPL to a Higher DirectoryDeploying a TestStand sequence file that contains a LabVIEW Packed Project Library (PPL) Override step with a LabVIEW project that builds the PPL to a directory above the sequence file results in a step that cannot execute.
Workaround: Configure the step to build the PPL in the directory of the sequence file, or rebuild the Override PPL after deploying the sequence file.

Rerunning Discovery After Building a Previously Missing Packed Project Library Still Results in Warning 16086Adding a TestStand 2019 sequence file with a step that specifies a Packed Project Library (PPL) Override with a calling context project and the PPL is missing on disk will result in Warning 16086 "Discovery could not find the following dependency on disk". Rebuilding the PPL and rerunning discovery will still result in this warning another time even though the PPL is now on disk. This issue is fixed in TestStand 2020.
Workaround: Perform discovery a third time for Package Builder to properly locate the PPL.

Package Builder Cannot Use TestStand after Build Fails Including an Override Packed Project Library that is Incompatible with the Active LabVIEW VersionBuilding a package causes the TestStand integration to no longer work after a build errors during staging when an included Override Packed Project Library (PPL) for a sequence step is incompatible with the active version of LabVIEW, such as a 64-bit PPL and 32-bit LabVIEW. With Package Builder 20.6 and later, a restart is no longer required, but you must still disable the "process during staging" property for the file in the package for a successful build.
Workaround: Restart Package Builder, and disable the "process during staging" property for the file in the package.
