Question

loadprojdata.js issue with MSM_PROJ_DATA.PROJ_DATA_FILENAME

Hi Wise RoboHelp Folks! We are having an issue with help files produced by Robohelp 2017 v13.0.2. We are using a WebHelp output and Robohelp’s loadprojdata.js script contains the following line:

  1. window.gProjDataFile = "{{MSM_PROJ_DATA.PROJ_DATA_FILENAME}}";

This appears to be a templated value which should be replaced with actual values, but that is never happening. Eventually that makes its way to these lines:
var projDataFile = rootRelPath + "/" + gProjDataFile;

  1. xmlJsReader.loadFile(projDataFile, callbackProjDataLoaded, projDataCBObj);

An attempt is made to access a file with the literal name "{{MSM_PROJ_DATA.PROJ_DATA_FILENAME}}", which fails and produces an error in our website’s log file. Could we delete this file safely without impacting anything?

Thank you for any help!

I have to ask what is the effect of that on the help working?

Hey Peter,

First, thanks for responding!

Second, thanks for being such an amazing RoboHelp resource. I follow your site and my team and I call you the RoboHelp Rock Star. You've saved us in many a pinch.

Third, in response: We're not aware of any impact to the help. We're looking into this because we host our help files on our own cloud server and implemented a log file to help catch errors. The JS issue is creating a lot of errors that we don't think are truly errors because the help functions they way it should. But it creating a lot clutter in the error log!
