Labview 2013 sp1 crash when creating override method

[FemtoLab]

Hello,

I have a issue with labview 2013 SP1, when i create a new overrided method, i have a crash report comments:

the possible cause is "AddViToProject.vi".

Does anybody have an idea about this Problem?

Thanks.

I have not seen this. Since this is a support-related issue, please use ni.com/support. This forum is not formally monitored by the application engineers and so won't get the usual prompt NI response.

How to find crashes/bugs in GDS!

Do this (before starting LabVIEW)
Add an empty text file with this name: GDS_DebugLog.txt, and place it in this folder: Documents\LabVIEW Data
Now start LabVIEW, and open the project and reproduce the crash. After the crash examine the file or upload it here so I can have a look at it.

Hi Mike,

I attached the text file.

This is the most common crash I get in GDS.

What happens is that the code adds a VI to the project, at that time LV will call other Project Providers to notify them that the Project Tree has been modified, e.g. GOOP_LVClass_Global_Init.vi

If the GDS code tries to do something in parallel LV crashes, so the code needs to wait until LV is done.

But for how long?

If you would modify the wait time before and after Add VI To Project, or add a wait inside that VI that could fix it.

But are you allowed to modify the code?

It’s up to you and how you interpret the license agreement.

I can try to edit the vi. But the VI is locked with password. How do I get the password.

I've exactly the same problem... even after i've updated the time to 100ms....

To edit the vi i had to remove the read-only setting of the folder..

open empty project, add goop class (GOOP 400) ... add child class... and crash!

I've tested it on 2 PC's...

64 bit windows 7

• Install LabVIEW 2013SP1 32 bit (from DevSuite 2014 Q1)
• Install goop from ni tools network 32 bit (4.8)
• create new empty project
• add goop class (goop 4)
• add child class (goop 4)
• crash..

some more info

If you first create the class with 'LabVIEW Object' as parent and later modify the class inheritance then LabVIEW does not crash.

But if you doe it directly... LabVIEW will crash 😞

Hey guys. I've been away on holiday and just got back. I'll look into this during the week. But it might be good if NI can look into it as well, since they have better understanding in why LV crash. I can only try to find a work around.

I've similarly been out of regular contact with the forums (and will be for the next couple weeks). As I said above, posting into the support forums is the right way to get attention from AEs who can dig into the details of the crash.
