Missing labview_grpc_generator.dll in Load ProtoFile.vi

[DaliaR1]

I want to generate code from a proto file.
There is a nice tool called Open gRPC Server-Client [2] - Code Generator.vi.
I ran it from the folder \grpc-labview-master\labview source\Client Server Support New\gRPC Scripting Tools

When I run it (I specified the proto file and target project), it gives me error:
Error 7 occurred at Call Library Function Node in gRPC Template Creation Utility.lvlib:Load ProtoFile.vi

Looking at the Load ProtoFile.vi, it looks for a DLL called Libraries\Win64*labview_grpc_generator.dll*
I couldn't find it in the code.
Where is this dll?

Thanks

Hi @DaliaR1, did you follow the instructions to install the gprc-labview package as specified in the README?

Hello,

I have the same problem, I followed the instructions step by step but the dll doesn't exist on my computer.
My LabVIEW version is 2019 SP1 32 bits and I use the last GRPC Library version
If you have any ideas on how to solve this problem
Thanks in advance

Hi @yash-ni

Im sorry for the late response.
I followed the instructions from the Readme:

1. Download and Unzip grpc-labview.zip which contains the released packages.
2. Install the following gRPC package:
   ni_lib_labview_grpc_library-x.x.x.x.vip
   ni_lib_labview_grpc_servicer-x.x.x.x.vip
   ni_lib_grpc_server_and_client_template[2]-x.x.x.x.vip

Unfortunately, there none of them install the labview_grpc_generator.dll.

I will try to reproduce it in a different computer, but I already tried twice in 2 different computers.

Which package should install the labview_grpc_generator.dll?

Thank you

Hi @Jul-ctrl

I found the solution.
The correct GRPC VIP packages are here:
[https://github.com/ni/grpc-labview/releases]

Download the grpc-labview.zip from the Assets. It includes 3 VIP packages. The ni_lib_grpc_server_and_client_template[2]-x.x.x.x.vip installs the dll and the code generator.

Hope it will help you
