Errors when deploying to Compact RIO

I have a project I am trying to deploy to the compact rio to test. 

 

Every time I go to run the launch VI, while it is deploying to the target I get an error saying it cant deploy due to an actor vi issue. 

 

Each time I go to run it, it pops up with a different actor vi with an error but there are not errors. 

 

When I look at the view errors in LabVIEW it shows no VI with errors.

 

This is happening quite frequently and I do not understand why it is doing it.

 

Anyone else seen this behavior?

 

Also when I right click and do a mass compile on the project I get a whole list of "bad VI" and they are all actor VIs.

 

Dont know how to fix it if I do not know what is broke.

Deploying to a cRIO can be a little finicky.

Building the Actor Framework can be a little finicky. 

Put them together and... 😢

 

You might have a single Actor Core that is breaking in the build process. This causes the whole inheritance tree to report bad. The best luck I've had finding these is looking at anything new/changed since the last time it worked.

 

You might want to fully build, deploy, reboot the cRIO to avoid using the debug environment. 

 

And the usual LabVIEW advice of clearing your compiled object cache. Unfortunately it might just need brute force hacking/disabling things out until you find the problem.

Thank you for the reply.

 

This seems to be happening more frequently for some reason.

 

I went back and deleted the project files and the rebuilt the project and imported the libraries I had written.

 

That seemed to do the trick. Guess something got hosed up in the project files.
