bug with File-Directory-Info and related VIs on CompactRIO

Hello,

 

I think I've recently come across a bug in the VIs :

  • File/Directory Info
  • Check if File or Folder Exists
  • Get Volume Info

with CompactRIO NI9014 and Labview 8.6. This bug did not exist with Labview 8.5.

 

Description of the bug. These VIs do not behave correctly if we give them root paths such as "C:\" for the internal memory or "U:\" for the USB key. The VIs will report "device not existing" or something like that. They will work correctly with existing non-root paths (e.g., "C:\tmp"). Note, using root paths is useful to detect whether a USB device is connected to the CompactRIO when you do not know whether the USB device contains a specific folder.

 

Workaround I've found. Strangely, if we use root paths with small letters ("c:\" instead of "C:\"), it works correctly.

 

Best regards,

 

Xavier

Has this been fixed?

I just tested it in LV 2010 and it has been fixed.
