CSV Writer and Interactive Table nodes fail

Hi everybody

I have been trying to open "CSV Writer" node to configure it but the only message I always get is "Error while creating node dialog for 'CSV Writer': Illegal char <:> at index 12: /home/thor/C:\Users\Preferred Customer\test"

The same error is obtained when "Interactive Table" node is open: "View instantiation failed: Illegal char <:> at index 12: /home/thor/C:\Users\Preferred Customer\test"

Any suggestion/help?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

 

 

 

hi samuel,

this looks like you are using an example worklfow? Can you create a new workflow and check if you still get the same errors?

Best, Iris

Hi Iris.

 

I got same problem like samuel, I got an Error

ERROR     Interactive Table                  View instantiation failed: Illegal char <?> at index 82: somePath\someFile.csv

when creating new workflow.

 

do you know how to fix this?

 

thanks before

I get the same error....did anyone figure out how to fix this?

Hi Everyone,

and you get this error when you create a new workflow? An empty one?

This is a strange behavior. First, the Interactive Table does not use files and second there is none when starting the empty workflow....

Best, Iris

I have the same problem
Only create the node CSV Writer and when I try to open it:

Error while creating node dialog for 'CSV Writer': Illegal char <"> at index 0: "C:"


Any suggestions?


Thank you!



 

Hi,

this is most probably due to the saved history. Did you already upgrade to 3.2? We resolved a problem with the version history in those nodes.

Could you try if the error still occurs with 3.2?

Thank you! Iris

I am also seeing this error.  I am running KNIME 3.2 and have fully upgraded all nodes.  I am not using any paid nodes, but I am using custom nodes of my creation.  

I haven't seen this error prior to upgrading to KNIME 3.2.

This is running both a saved workflow (.kwfl) in a headless state and also importing it into KNIME and running it with a GUI.

UPDATE:  I saved the workflow in a partially run state, closed KNIME, and reopened KNIME.  This seemed to reset the node so I could touch it / open it without the error.

I have the same probelm and found a hint in the knime.log

Maybe this helps. The procedure written by gregr.smith didn't work for me. I created a new workflow and used the example from https://tech.knime.org/getting-started. I'm using still KNIME 2.12.2.
