LabVIEW
Project from Template can't be created because something exceeds path length of 255 characters
I've created a set of LabView code with example application as a project template in the following location:
\\Mac\Home\Documents\LabVIEW Data\ProjectTemplates\Source\HAF\
That path is 62 characters long.
Under the directory \HAF\ I have various single-level folders containing the code. The longest subdirectory is \AbstractResourceEnumerator\ bringing the character count up to 89.
In that directory, the longest filename is AbstractResourceEnumerator giving a total path length of 116 characters.
When I try and create a project using that template LabVIEW starts to create it and then throws error:
I'm creating the project that uses the template as:
C:\LabView\Projects\Measure using Waveform
That path is 42 characters.
I've even tried C:\x
I thought creating a new project from a template, copied the template contents into the new projects directory? If it created references, it still seems to be short enough.
Something is happening in regards to using a Project Template that I can't figure out. Can someone point me at a paper that explains what happens when I select a template or maybe explain it? Is there a way of finding out which file or folder path is too long?
My template is made from a Project containing LVOOP classes and VIs within a Library file and three VIs that reside outside the library file. As far as I can tell it is set up correctly: I followed the instructions in the NI white paper for this and the dialog for creating a project from a template progresses properly.
