Remote debugging no errors listed

[avogadro5]

This example is LabVIEW 2024 but I've observed this at least since 2021: when remote debugging a built exe with errors, the error list is empty. For a large application this results in a true engineering challenge to debug the issue.

In this case, I was able to find the source of my error by using VI server to generate a list of VIs with bad execution states to narrow down the possibilities. It turned out the app builder did not include some statically referenced subVIs (I'll probably do another post to ask if anyone knows why😞

Now I know for a fact that this kind of error does show in the error list in a development context. So why does it seem like the error list always empty when remote debugging?

Apparently I gaslit myself into thinking remote debugging used to list circa LabVIEW 2014 but apparently that's not the case and it never did.
