Dynamic input: you have found a bug. replicate, then let us know.

[wonka1234]

Hi,

I am getting an error "you have found a bug. replicate, then let us know." on a dynamic input.

I read from a directory and trying to read in the latest file. This workflow has previously worked but now getting a bug.

Is it because a user is in this file?

the whole reason I created this is to read the file from the directory and copy it elsewhere..pretty much because a user never closes it and I need to access it for other proccesses.

Hey, @wonka1234.

There may be a way to fix that.

I tried recreating it, and I get a standard error if I have the file open (see screenshot).

You may try restarting Alteryx Designer or using a new Dynamic Input tool, or something else.

@acarter881  now getting error Target ecel file may be corrupt.. very weird.. it is an .XSLB btw....

@wonka1234 do you have the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable? It is located here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

It is used to read .xlsb in Alteryx.

@acarter881

is this to download microsoft access db?  I have that installed on my pc.

@wonka1234 No, I believe this is solely for xlsb files. See this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Knowledge-Base/How-to-Enable-Microsoft-Exc...

Hey @wonka1234 
This particular error message is an indication that there's an underlying defect that you've found - my recommendation would be replicate this error in as minimal as possible a form (as few tools; and as simple as possible data) - and then send it over to support@alteryx.com.

They will give you a case number and then you can manage this to closure from there.
