I’m trying to rebuild an existing program, but the build keeps getting stuck at visu.br BR module generation. I’ve tried it in multiple locations, but still no luck. Any suggestions?
Hi,
what Automation Studio version and PLC do you use, and is it a VC3 or VC4 visualisation?
Did you try waiting reeeally long? We had that issue for some time, when compiling projects in virtual machines. Projects normally taking 2min to build took 20-30min and were also stuck at that point.
But if you once wait for completion, the situation typically doesn’t repeat. But only if you wait until the build is complete. If you abort, the situation will continue.
As a work around we found out that building the project from command line interface with no Automation Studio running solved the problem. I suspect a racing condition between the build process and the Automation Studio GUI.
I have windows 11 with Automation Studio v4.10.2.37 and I am using VC4 and PLC 5PPC2100_BY11_000
Hi, Emanuel,
I waited for 5-10 minutes, but it remained stuck, so I had to abort the process. Could you please provide a step-by-step workaround to resolve the issue?
Thank you
Try waiting even longer. Start the build before you go to lunch or even quit work for a day. Only if it doesn’t complete after 1-2 hours, then I’d be convinced that it’s a different problem then what we experienced.
I can offer you the build scripts which we have developed for our purpose, but no support on using them. Our setup is calling the *.bat script from SourceTree custom action and Automation Studio 4.12 installed in default directory. So you’ll definitely need to adjust it to you needs. Furthermore I’d like to disclose that I don’t take any responsibility for executing the script. Find scripts attached as *.zip file:
Build.zip (4.6 KB)
Thanks! I will let you know if it works after I’ve tried it.
Watch out, only AS4.12 is supported on Windows 11. Supported OS for AS4.10 you can find here:
