Unit Test Framework .lvtest file opens blank and reports that a class cannot be loaded if there is an unrelated class that is broken in a project.

Unit Test Framework .lvtest file opens blank and reports "LabVIEW: (Hex 0x55D) Class could not be loaded". This occurs if the project has an unrelated class that cannot be loaded. If the unrelated class is loaded, the .lvtest file loads successfully and works as expected.

Workaround:

Make sure all unrelated classes are loaded or removed.

JUnit XML report is not generated due to a VI Path error.

When using LabVIEW CLI Unit Test Framework commands with JUnitReport, if there is a VI Path error, for example -25240: "The path to the VI under test is invalid." the report XML is not generated at all. This will happen even when most VIs are found/tested, but one of them has a bad path.

Workaround:

Check the paths for each VI and ensure all of them are correct.
