QvWorkPath refresh issue QV v11

Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:15:23 GMT

Greetings;

I have a problem where $(QvWorkPath) is not refreshing at the beginning of a reload. It still points to the old file location. When researching this request, I found a that says an issue like this was fixed in Version 9 and after. However, I am running version 11.00.11282.0 SR1 and still experiencing an issue. I have a script that prints the variable QvWorkPath as the first step of a reload. When I move the document from one location to another, the variable doesn't seem to be updated during a normal reload which causes the script to fail because it can not find includes or qvd files to load data from. Even if I close it and reopen it, it appears not to update. As a work around I have been having to open the document, open the script editor, do a debug, step a few steps in, the trace prints the old location at this point, then I close the debug window, open it again, start stepping again and now trace shows the correct file location.

Is this still a bug or do I have another issue I may be missing?

/*Sample Script*/

trace 'Where am I running from ? $(QvWorkPath)';

Thanks for any insight;

Billy

Well;

I contacted my support provider. They have verified it's a bug and are submitting a request to Qliktech. Here is a work around I'm using until this problem is resolved.

/*Work around until Bug Fix*/

let QvWorkPath=replace(DocumentPath( ),DocumentName( ),'');

Maybe this will help someone else.

This error also exists in QV10 as far as I know!
