Crash LabVIEW with VI Property Node

[paul_cardinale]

If you have a new VI that's never been saved (i.e. path is "Not a Path"), then this can cause LabVIEW to crash:

I could not reproduce the crash in the latest 2023 Q3

When an output of a property node is not wired, the code that would get the value is skipped.

Try wiring the output "Library" to something.

Duh. Of course. 🙄

But it still doesn't crash for me.

No crash in 2021 either. That's the only two versions I have available right now.

The problem is occurring in a VI that's being called by the configuration VI of an Express VI.

Outside of that circumstance, I also cannot recreate the problem.

The VI that's trying to get the library reference is in context "NI.LV.Express".  The VI that's being referred to is in context "My Computer".  (But when I make test code that uses those contexts, I still don't get a crash.  (For some reason, it only happens when an Express VI's configuration is running.)

I observe the problem in LV 2019, 2020, & 2021.
