Error list in VI scripting

Question

Is it possible to see the error list of a VI created by VI scripting? Preferably the same error list you get when you press a broken run button.
If a VI is created, but not executable, you get an error 1003 ("LabVIEW:  The VI is not executable...") when trying to run it. But this doesn't specify what's wrong with the VI.
Now I have to manually open the VI and check whats wrong. Is there another option?

Hello pcardinale,
The "Get Errors" method you're talking about doesn't directly ring a bell for me (at least not at the level of the standard VI Methods).
One thing that might have caused confusion is that clicking a Broken Run Arrow is not the same as calling the Run Method for a VI.
When clicking a Broken Run Arrow another "function" gets called that checks the Block Diagram to see what is "wrong" with the VI (that has the Broken Run Arrow).
The fact that the Run Arrow is broken already indicates that it the code cannot be run, so therefore the LabVIEW Development Environment doesn't execute a "run" anymore.
I would have to double-check with someone to see if the code that is used for the creation of the Error List is directly available.
Before doing this there are some questions that are open at my side:
- Would you like to have only the error list reported?
- In other words: What are you planning to do in your scripting code with this error list?
