New ContributorThank you for answering this issue. My students were running into the exact same problem on Quartus Lite 20.1, and I just shared the fix with them. The assignment was to do the "Quartus Prime Introduction Using Schematic Designs" tutorial so that they get used to using the tool.
Some of my students were also getting the error:
Error (199014): Vector source file C:/Users/myusername/Desktop/veri/Waveform1.vwf specified with --testbench_vector_input_file option does not exist
but I have not been able to duplicate that one on my system. Any idea what could cause this error?
Thanks.
New ContributorHello:
I don't believe that I've seen that specific error code. I have seen another problem where an additional subdirectory appears within the path of the simulation itself. When this happens, the returned message is that the vwf file does not exist, which would be true in that case. This problem was very difficult to replicate as well, and seemed to be intermittent in nature between different computers for some reason. What I might suggest is that prior to running the simulation itself that you select the "simulation settings" screen and compare the paths and "switches" or "options" between computers that run without error and those that display the error. I found that when I modified the path and removed the additional sub-directory that appeared that the problem was corrected.
Best regards.
