When building an application unit tests are added to a support directory

Why are unit tests (.lvtest files) added to a support directory when building an application? I cannot find a way to exclude them from the support directory.

I'd imagine this is happening to you because they are in the "Dependencies" section of your project file (*.lvproj). Is this correct?
If so, you should add them to your project file somewhere. Then you will be able to prevent them from being installed. In my experience LabVIEW grabs files it thinks are nesecary from the Dependencies list and installs them in a support directory.

I get a "vi is not executable" error when building an application.

I have an ongoing project that has worked fine in the past when building an application. I have recently added some report generation toolkit vis(Excel) and get an error for some of the ni vis and some of my own that call lower level excel vis. The error is that he vi is not executable, however they run fine in the development environment. I do not get this error if I save all vi's into one llb with save with options command and then build. However, when I try to run the app, this error re-appears. Also, do I have to add the dynamically loaded vi's that are part of the toolkit in my build script? Could this be the cause of the problem? If so, what's the best way to find all of them? Any suggestions?

You have hit in on the nail! You do need to add the dynamically loaded VIs when you are creating an executable from your VI. You need to add _wordsub.lib and _exclsub.lib as dynamically loaded VIs into your executable. Try this and let us know if you have any more problems with it.

Flash Builder 4.7 Unit Tests for Mobile Devices

I am trying to setup a simple unit test using Flash Builder 4.7. I created a Test Suite and a Test Case class.
Using the menu, I select Run > Run. I see options to select which Test Case / Methods I'd like to run.
But the strange thing is, next I have to select a launch configuration. I'd assume it would just launch in some console window and give me test results. I did what I could and have it setup to run on the AIR simulator for a XOOM device. Nothing happens I just see a blank screen with a blank bar at the top.
I've also tried right clicking the project and choosing execute flexunit tests. My FlexUnit Resulst still says 0/0.
What is the launch configuration I need to use to execute the test cases and get the results?

I solved it! After looking at example code on google, I realized that the s:ViewNavigatorApplication was missing two key options:
firstView="flexunit.flexui.FlexUnitTestRunnerUIMobile"
firstViewData="{getFirstViewData()}"
Thankfully I was able to derive this. It makes 0 since to me why this wouldn't be added to the automatically generated mxml file but the functions it utalizes does. This to me seems like a defect. If you'd like people to use automatically generated files, make sure they are functional.
Thanks

Error message when building an application for Labview PDA

When using LabView PDA module to build an application for a PDA target, I receive the following message: "Error building executable. Unable to create file". Why is this happening?
When looking at the error log, it reads "The system cannot find the file specified."
This happens even when looking at one of the Labview PDA example VI's, so it is not a result of the VI containing functions of features not supported by Labview PDA.
When installing Labview PDA, I installed files as follows, and in this order:
(i) Labview 7.1 (installed previously)
(ii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
(iii) Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP 3.0
(iv) Microsoft SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
(v) Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8
(vi) NI Labview 7.1 PDA module for PocketPC
(vii) DAQmx Base 1.0 for PDA or later
Any ideas?

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

I have searched and can find no real sollutions to this problem. I did the updates and still nothing. Now I can't even build an app with Laview 8.6. I reference several .NET items and refuse to rebuild each and every one of them. My only option at this point is to uninstall all Labview and then reinstall 8.6 so I can do something.
Help if you can.

Hello RBrown
I am really sorry for this inconvenience! This is a known issue.
Can you please attempt the following for me:
When you are building an application, under Advanced please check the last box "Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout"
If that doesn't work, you may need to rebuild the LLB in a separate directory with new names, and use it as the build inclusion.
Here are some forum posts strictly for your information:
I have found users that have had similar issues. I am trying to make this workaround work for you.

Placing ini file in specific location when building the application

Hello,
I have a small problem. I have an ini file that I use to store certain parameters. Lets call this file app.ini. When I build the Application.exe, it puts that file into the data directory. I was hoping that it would be one level higher and be located in the same directory as Application.exe is (otherwise it won't read the file correctly.) I looked at the Source File Settings in the Category list in the properties window for the build and set the Destination to be "Same as caller", but that didn't put it where I wanted it. I'd really like this file to be one directory higher when I make my build in order for my app to read it correctly. Any suggestions?
I use this executable later on when I make my installer and the problem simply propagates there too, not good.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One way to solve the problem:
1) In build properties window select Destinations and create a new destination. Select as "Destination Path" the same dir where the exe will be stored
2) Assign this destination to the .ini file.
Let me know if it works

When Building an Application, which .icd file gets used on the deployment machine?

Hello all,
I am building an application that needs to support multiple configurations for multiple cameras. I currently have a development machine with everything you would expect to be installed, and a deployment machine that does not have LabVIEW installed, but does have LabVIEW run-time, appropriate drivers and MAX.
My question is: When I build an application, I would like to be able to give a particular end user their own .icd file which the built application will recognize on their own machine. Then the .icd parameters can be tailored to their application. Is this possible?
I had hoped that this would just be the case, however when I compiled an application and tried to run it on the deployment machine it was obvious that the built application retained the .icd settings on the development machine and ignored the .icd settings on the deployment machine. Perhaps it has something to do with how I am compiling? Any additional info would be awesome.
Thanks everyone for your time!

Cole,
The easiest thing to do would be to manually replace the default .icd files with your configured .icd files at the directories specified in the following knowledge base.
Where Do I Place My Camera File Once I Download It?
LabVIEW won't copy the .icd configuration automatically because it is a configuration file for the IMAQ driver which is platform independent. Another option would be to create VI that runs at installation or application run time that programmatically configures the .icd file. You can add the .icd file to your project and copy the attributes to the camera file that exists on the deployed machine or replace it entirely.

Visual Studio locks when bringing up "Run Unit Test" vs2013

2013 Visual studio 2013.
I had been running a few simple unit tests on a large project. Then 2013 stopped responding and said -- please contact Microsoft.
most time the test explore never comes up. I tried the test with a tiny project . still same issue
this is my tiny project
Using System.Configuration;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
namespace UnitTestProject1

public void TestMethod1()
Assert.AreEqual(1,1);
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod2()

Howard Davis

Hi Howard Davis,
Could you tell us the real VS2013 version you were using? We have to make sure that it supports the unit test project.
>>most time the test explore never comes up. I tried the test with a tiny project . still same issue
We could open the test explorer window under Test menu->Windows.
Before you run your test, please clean and rebuild your test project, and make sure no any warning or error, and then run it from the test explorer window, check the result.
In addition, you would check your task manager, and make sure that it is free before you run your tests. I mean that we have to make sure that it is not the performance issue.
But if a simple Assert method still doesn't work in your side, I doubt that it is your VS IDE issue.
Run your VS as the admin, check the result.
If possible, please repair your VS, please also install the VS2013 update 4, and then create a new test project, check the result.
Best Regards,
Jack

Flash Builder - change the why imports are added

Hello,
Flash Builder groups imports by package (which is great) and puts a white line between package groups (which is not so great).
e.g.
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import spark.events.IndexChangeEvent;
This can be very annoying when there are many imports - at least for me.
Is there anyway I can customize this?
Thank you.

How can I unit test my Swing application?

Hi All,
In my application I came across a situation where I have to automate the unit testing of my application.
Using my application user can able to draw polylines and rectangles on a BufferedImage added to a JFrame.
Can any one please help/suggest me, how to automate the drawing process (this process consists of drawing the polylines with mouse and few action/mouse events)?
your help will be highly helpful to me.
Satya

What exactly will that unit test prove? That you can mock the drawing of lines?
Unit test are supposed to test certain parts of your application code - I'd concentrate on unit tests that are actually useful and for example in the future can help to catch regressions.
If anywhere you can get help creating unit tests of this magnitude, I'd look in the unit testing support for Swing applications. Google for "java swing unit test" to see what you can come up with. Probably you'll need to create some plumbing yourself to make custom painting unit-testable; perhaps you could do something with painting to a BufferedImage in stead of to a Swing component for example.

TFS Build - Unit Test is showing wrong result

HI Team,
       I have a build definition(“BDPR's Playground CI Build”) which is compiling 2 solutions and running the unit tests in them. Globally I have
6 unit tests that pass, 0 that fail and 2 that are inconclusive, which gives a total of 8 unit tests. When I run this build definition, what is reported in the build summary is “6/6 test(s) passed, 0 failed, 0 inconclusive”, which is obviously wrong. It looks
like inconclusive unit tests are completely ignored by the build system. Is this a bug or am I missing some subtle option somewhere in the build definition to get this right?
       Displaying a given build summary in Visual Studio gives less information that in the web portal. The web portal reports the number of inconclusive
unit tests (but with a wrong value – see previous item) whereas Visual Studio doesn’t report the inconclusive unit tests at all. Example: for the build “BDPR's Playground CI Build_20150409.5”, web portal reports “6/6 test(s) passed, 0 failed, 0 inconclusive”
while Visual Studio reports “6 of 6 test(s) passed”! Is this a bug or is there some misconfiguration somewhere?
Regards
Hem

Hi Hem,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS and VS?
Yes, as far as I know the inconclusive unit test result not show in TFS build summary by default. Bu you can view the TFS build
Diagnostic log to view which inconclusive unit tests be executed in build.
