LabVIEW Snippet Doesn't Work

[JonathanLindsey]

[1] Describe your setup.

1. Tested with FireFox and Chome
2. LabVIEW 2020 (for FRC 2022)
3. FRC Game Tools 2022 f1
4. Phoenix software

[2] List firmware versions for ALL CTRE devices and your Phoenix Installation.

N/A

[3] What behavior are you expecting and why?

The LabVIEW snippet from https://docs.ctre-phoenix.com/en/stable/ch11_BringUpPigeon.html#pigeon-api should drag/drop into a block diagram and turn into code.

The Tip just above the snippet says:

Image below can be dragged/dropped into LabVIEW editor.

Note: I have not looked to see if there are other LabVIEW snippets in the documentation and if they work or not.

[4] What behavior are you observing (and how is it different from your expected behavior above)?

Depending on the method used, either a link or image is shown in the LabVIEW block diagram but not the actual code.

[5] List the procedure to reproduce the issue.

I tested each method in FireFox and Chrome

Method 1:

1. Dragging directly from the browser to a block diagram
2. A LabVIEW comment with a link is added to the block diagram

Method 2:

1. Opening the image in a new tab and dragging from there into a block diagram
2. A LabVIEW comment with a link is added to the block diagram

Method 3:

1. Right click image
2. Save image as...
3. Drag the image from File Explorer to a block diagram
4. The image is shown in LabVIEW (but it is not code)

There was a similar problem on the ChiefDelphi site itself. It was solved by changing a Discourse setting to not strip image metadata.

We'll take a look and try to reproduce this - it could be related to RTD or to mismatched LabVIEW versions if that's the case.
