locale variable of some controls on PDA 8.20 does not working

[andrej]

Hello!

I write VI in PDA 8.0.1 that is working fine. But then I upgraded it in PDA 8.20 and it didn't work anymore. While building it i get this error "state missing VI or C file".
Then I lost a lot of time with debugging and found out that locale variable (of cluster with check boxes) is not working, so I replace it with property node:value which is working (just to mention, "value property" is not supported in 8.0.1 so you have to use locale variable but now in 8.20 some locale variables does not work and you have to use property nodes?!?).
Is meybe somewhere a list of bugs in 8.20 and list of corrected bugs from 8.0.1 like "unbundle by name" and so on..., because it takes a lots of time to debug it.

Thank you very much,
Andrej

Andrej,

You mention you upgraded--did you install the complete set of tools with the PDA module installer?  Any known issues at the time of the release will be published in the readme file.  I didn't find any references to this particular error in our internal bug database, however this doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing wrong.  Could you post a VI that consitently "breaks" so we can verify that it's something wrong with PDA module and not your particular installation?

Thanks

Hi, Paul

Here are two VIs. Local1 return an error while building and local2 works fine.
Please let me know what's wrong!
In previous messege I've asked for a list of bugs in 8.20 and 8.0.1, do you know if it is available?

Thank you,
Andrej

Andrej,

Thanks for the astute observation.  This is a bug and has been reported to R&D.  You are doing nothing wrong, so I would recommend going with your workaround (local2.vi) until this is fixed.

Thanks!
