Unhandled Exception After Adding Browses to All Outputs

[JeffF]

Issue

InAlteryx Designer 2019.1.4, after adding Browse tools to all of the output anchors of a tool using Right-click > Add All Browses OR Ctrl + Shift + B, running the workflow returns an Unhandled Exception error. The workflow runs indefinitely until Designer is canceled from Windows Task Manager.

The full error is as follows:

An Unhandled Exception occurred.  A previous action may not have completed successfully.  Click OK to send the development team the error log so that we can fix this error in a subsequent release.

The workflow runs indefinitely and cannot be canceled.Closing Designer results in the following dialog:

You will need to exit Designer by ending the process in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Delete).

Environment

• Alteryx Designer
  
  • Version 2019.1.4

Diagnosis

Confirm your version of Alteryx Designer by navigating to Help > About. If you are using version 2019.1.4, continue. If you are not, your error was likely caused by a different issue. Please open a ticket with customer support through the case portal.

Add All Browses to a tool by Right-click > Add All Browses OR Ctrl + Shift + B, then run the workflow.

The unhandled exception error is returned after the workflow is run.

Cause

In Designer 2019.1.4, there is a known issue where adding multiple browses to a tool simultaneously causes Designer to crash when the workflow is run. This is because when the Browse tools are added, the configuration is not finalized for each tool. A fix is being developed. In the meantime, please see the following workarounds.

Solution

Upgrade to the latest release of Alteryx Designer (≥2019.1.6).

Workaround A

1. Add all Browse tools one by one.

Workaround B

1. After adding Browse tools, save the workflow before running it.

Workaround C

1. Add All Browses with Right-click > Add All Browses OR Ctrl + Shift + B
   
2. Apply the configuration to each Browse tool individually.
   1. Click each added Browse tool to open the Configuration window.
   2. Click Apply (the check-mark in the bottom left corner of the Configuration window)
      
      
      
      
   3. Repeat for each added Browse tool.

Glad I found this article. At least I got a RAM upgrade while dealing with this bug.
