Group Collapsibility Lost in Venus 4

Hamilton (Venus) Venus Questions

Hey all,

I’m working on modifying a legacy Venus 4 method and have found that the collapsibility is entirely lost for all normally collapsible lines. Without me having to manually rewrite this entire method, has anyone seen this bug before and/or know of a fix?

Bug Features:

  • Creating new method and copying code over via copy/paste has collapsibility, but loses it once saved and reopened.
  • Local submethods within this method still have collapsibility.
  • Any new method made with the same software install has collapsibility.
  • Opening this bugged method in other Venus instances still has the bug.

Best,

Bryce

Hi Bryce,

Did you happen to add a Parallel Process in your method? Adding that function would contribute to not having collapsible groups. Also, that function cannot be added to submethods so only the Main method tab would be affected.

Thanks,

Eric

Hey Eric,

Yeah, this method has a parallel process built into it which would explain it. Is there any particular workaround or practice for this that users typically employ?

Thanks!

An alternative to the Parallel Process function is the HSL Fork and Join library, which can be found here. This library function can be used in submethods as well as the Main method.
