Workflow Dependencies

AaronMacPhail

Hello Everyone,

I am running into a problem when trying to utilize the Crew Runner macros available from CRW and I am having an issue with the dependencies that I am having difficulties with. 

When I look in options > advanced options > workflow dependencies, If I click test only one of the dependecies changes to red to indicate an error.  The dependecy in question is pointing to the .exe for the runner macro and it includes the file name in the path:

\\x\x\x\x\Crew Macros 2016 Q2\Macros\SupportingExes\AlteryxRunner.exe

I can edit the path, click test and I don't receive an error.  When I select OK to get back to the canvas and then access dependencies again I am back where I stared with the same error.

We have these macros stored in a shared drive that our server can access so they are available when scheduling on our server.  I am using conditional runners in the same workflow and I have not had any problems with those, just the runner macro.

I have also added the path to the shared macro location on the Macro tab in user settings and that has not corrected the problem either.  I tried adding the path to the .exe here as well and receive the nested folders are not supported message.

Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Any insight is appreciated!

If you configure Macro search paths in my user settings and use those macros in a workflow, that macro cannot be found by any other user trying to run that module and it will error. The macros added from a path defined in the user settings are user specific (as "user settings" implies). You're better off inserting the macro into your module from the network location each time. 

This may not solve your issue, but it's somewhere to start.
