Rescripting Actor Messages in LabVIEW 2023 Q3

[Gryffin]

I am trying to find the "Actor Framework" submenu when right-clicking on a message for an Actor in my project and I no longer see it there...

How do you auto-rescript messages in LabVIEW 2023 Q3?

[DerekZhang]

I got the same problem with you, have you solved it yet?

[Gryffin]

Can someone please explain how to rescript messages in 2023 Q3????????

[ShockHouse]

I don't see the same behavior in 2023 Q3. Whether I'm using the vi.lib Actor Framework, or a PPL I can script messages. I did upgrade this machine from 2023 Q1 if that makes a difference, so it wasn't a clean Q3 install.

[Gryffin]

I can easily script the CREATION of new messages in the normal way, but, if you change the underlying .VI called by “Do.vi” you used to be able to “Rescript message” to update the message nodes.

I do not see the option to “Rescript Message” anywhere now.

[Gryffin]

I have captured this behavior change from 2023 Q1 to 2023 Q3, as seen below:

I created a trivial project with a single actor with a single private data (double) which then has a "write" accessor vi which I then create a message of.

After doing all this, you can see in 2023 Q1, I can rescript the message:

 And when attempting to do the exact same thing in 2023 Q3, the context menu for "Actor Framework" is missing:

 

This makes altering messages very painful. PLEASE RETURN THE CONTEXT MENU NI!

Is there any way to rescript outside of this context menu?

[Gryffin]

So do I really need to revert to 2023 Q1?

[Gryffin]

Do other people have this same issue? Can anyone address this? It seems like I have no other choice than to go back to 2023 Q1 over this simple context menu....

What is there in <labview>/resource/Framework/Providers/MessageRescripter ?

Is there a MessageRescripter.ini in <labvew>/Resource/Framework/Providers/GProviders ?

This is the output of dir /s /b "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Labview 2023\resource\Framework\Providers\MessageRescripter"
