New ContributorQuestasim can't delete libraries using the vdel command.
Each time I attempt to use the vdel command (GUI or Tcl), I get the following:
vdel -all -lib tb_lib_path
# wrong # args: should be "compile"
ContributorPlease try this format:
vdel [-all] <library_name>
Use the library name instead of path, and don't use the '-lib' option.
New ContributorThat doesn't work. Also, the GUI that does this for you uses this same syntax and doesn't work. I have been using Questasim for a long time and this always worked in the past and is how the manual tells you to do it. Can you get this fixed?
Regards
New ContributorDid you check to see if this even worked?
New ContributorHere is a screen show of the GUI attempting to do the same thing.

Now a simple substitution doesn't work:
ContributorHi there, which version of Quartus and QuestaSim are you using. I didn't see the same error from my side.
New ContributorI think its time to escalate issues like this since they are are being ignored in this forum.
New ContributorThe version is 24.2.0.40. I figured out that the tcl environment is broken and the GUI hasn't been updated to conform to the brokeness. I'm guessing that anyone that has been using QuestSim for a while isn't happy with the issues.
ContributorSorry, but I am unable to reproduce your issue. Could you try running it on another server and check if the error might be due to your system environment? If the same issue persists, please share your reproduction steps with me so I can analyze the problem further. Thanks.
New ContributorI tried this on 2 separate machines and it fails the same way.
New ContributorAs part of this issue can you tell me why the -simulate command fails for qrun?
exec qrun -optimize -log [uplevel set reports_path] -outdir [uplevel set SIM_LIB_PATH] -top top_tb -o top_tb_out \
-makelib [uplevel set spi_dut_lib_path] -f [uplevel set spi_dut_filelist] -endlib \
-makelib [uplevel set dut_lib_path] -f [uplevel set dut_filelist] -endlib \
-makelib [uplevel set spi_tb_resuse_lib_path] -f [uplevel set tb_reuse_filelist] \
-vlog.options +define+[uplevel set SCOPE] -timescale=10ns/1ns -sv -end -endlib \
-makelib [uplevel set tb_lib_path] -f [uplevel set tb_filelist] -vlog.options -timescale=10ns/1ns -sv -end -endlib
This works:
New Contributorcorrection... "-w" should be -work" and it still doesn't work.
New ContributorI shared the steps in the screen capture. Regardless of how the command is run it fails. vdel -all -Lib name fails in the GUI and in Tcl.
Scripts that I ran in Questasim last year fail as well.
ContributorHi there, Are you using Questasim or Questa Intel?
Vdel is available in Questa Intel which I have tried to reproduce your issue. For Questasim, this issue may need to ask Questasim vendor.
New ContributorHi,
Lets stop the back and forth and have a conference call on Teams to allow me to show you again what is going on. I have sent you screen captures that show that I am using Intel products. Please send a link for the meeting.
Regards,
Tony
ContributorI've scheduled a meeting on Thursday from 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM Malaysia Time (MYT). You can join via the Teams link. Please let me know if this time works for you.
ContributorHi there, we tested the vdel function in questasim 24.1 with win10, and it works well.
Could you please provide your design to us for further investigating on your issue?
ContributorBTW, I have submit this issue to the engineer. If any updates, we will inform you.
You can try to reinstall the Quartus (with Intel Questa), and make sure all antivirus, antimalware are turned off, as it may related to the software corruption,
