Error: "Path: 'view' is invalid"

Node Development
1

Hi everybody,

After making my own functional Node, I always get the same message:

!MESSAGE Plug-in 'org.knime.workbench.ui' contributed an invalid Menu Extension (Path: 'view' is invalid): org.knime.workbench.ui.openLogfile

 

I have no clue what to do with it and what it means. Also because the Nodes work.

 

Cheers, Mittosc

Take a look in your exentions / extension points are of the plugin.xml and see if anything there looks incorrect.

Hi,

I've exactly the same error message in the Error Log tab (knime 2.12.1) without any project opened at all... See screenshot below. And my nodes work fine also.

 

Any help welcomed! Thanks

I post a smaller version of the screenshot, with the right part this time.

 

It seems that eclipse is not happy with the plugin.xml in

C:\Program Files\KNIME_2.12.0\plugins\org.knime.workbench.ui_2.12.0.0047514/

 

Below is the block that may be the origin of the problem in this file:

 

 <extension
             point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
          <actionSet
                id="org.knime.workbench.ui.global"
                label="KNIME"
                visible="true">
             <action
                   class="org.knime.workbench.ui.OpenLogfileAction"
                   hoverIcon="icons/open_logfile.png"
                   icon="icons/open_logfile.png"
                   id="org.knime.workbench.ui.openLogfile"
                   label="Open KNIME log"
                   menubarPath="view/knimelog"
                   tooltip="Opens KNIME&apos;s log file in a text editor">
             </action>
          </actionSet>
       </extension>

 

Hoping it will help the suppport to fix that issue.

Thanks

Besides the error message there are no negative effects whatsoever (or did you notice any). This is due to the non-standard setup of the KNIME SDK. We recommend using a standard Eclipse SDK and a target platform instead, see https://tech.knime.org/developers.
