Misleading warning on CVI startup: breakpoints and tags have been removed

[RobertoBozzolo]

Just tested in 2015 with a shipping example; breakpoints and tags are not cleared from the .cws after openint the project with a missing file. I see your same behaviour: breakpoint and tags are retained and represented the next time I open CVI with the file present again; I am also warned that they will be cleared, even if they aren't.

I have the Auto Save option set, too.

It is to be said, though, that if I make some modification that implies saving the workspace (e.g. open a new file or close an opened one) taks and breakpoint are cleared, even it the missing file section is still present; reopening the workspace with the file present again will result in breakpoints and tags cleared in that file.

So it seems the warning is not fully misleading: only if no modifications at all are made breakpoints and tags remain in the project, otherwise they are cleared.

Thanks for confirmation, Roberto.

Hello MelanieE,

what about a win-win situation: you provide us a CAR and and talk to your colleague to have it implemented today (before we forget), I provide the solution which seems pretty simple to me:

All that is needed from my point of view is changing the text of the warning pop-up message, from

The file "xyz" was not found. The breakpoints and tags in it have been removed.

to

The file "xyz" was not found. If now you make changes to your project the breakpoints and tags of file "xyz" will be removed.

I think that the latter statement correctly describes the current behavior of CVI.

Hi Wolfgang,

I have not been in office for a while, so sorry for the delay.

I think we have some new points here I need to check on my machine. Give me some time for it, I will update you, if I see the same behavior. If so, we can continue with your win-win sugestion.

Best,

Melanie

Hi Wolfgang and Roberto,

I played around with my project a bit more. With the discription from Roberto I was able to see the same behavior as you discribed, Wolfgang.

I will document the behavior the next days and post the ticket number.

Best,

Melanie
