Missing macros when multiple people cooperate

TRM

We are multiple people working on tje same workflow, we are using GIT, to version control.

The problem occurs when:

Person "A" creates a workflow, adds a macro and uploads it to GIT.

Person "B" Pulls the GIT repository, opens the workflow, and the macro is now missing.

The macro is at the same relative path, for each person.

Why is it not working?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello @TRM ,

in the options menu, on advanced options you will see "workflow dependencies". You can set up there the relative paths for the macro.

On the other hand, when collaborating with other people, those who have the oldest alteryx versions should be the one having the issues.

When you open a workflow which has been created on a more recent version, a message pops up asking if you want to open it. With the macros, the same issue happens. You would neet first to downgrade the macros by opening them and saving them to avoid the issue. Once the macros have been downgraded this should be corrected.

Just a wild guess, are they using the same setting for Macros?

TRM

Thanks for the response

unfortunately it did not fix the problem.

Macros are stile saved with a full path:

In the user settings I have specified what folder macros, is located within.

Does the person saving the workflow, have to specifiy the macro path, before saving, or is it just relevant when the other person is loading the workflow?

Any other idea about how to fix it?
