.hep file is not loaded in WSL feature Please implement this in next version of rhapsody

Summary: .hep file is not loaded if it is in WSL folder


The ticket is intended for IBM Rhapsody support




I use one of the example projects "ExternalChecksProject.rpyx"


In the project I have modified property General::Model::HelpersFile to use relative path to the .hep file "../../ExternalChecks/Checks.hep"


Attached zip ("ExternalChecksSample_mod.zip") is the project after modification.





1.If I open the project and .hep file is located in Windows folder if I open it, right click and on DefaultConfig and select "Check Model" in the log I can see:


Error: Usecase without a relation to actor


in Package: Default


Use Case: FailsCheck




which means the Java plugin was properly executed. This is Ok. Relative path for .hep file works properly when in Windows folder.




2. Now I copy the same project in Linux WSL folder


and map the WSL Linux folder to a drive. For example: "subst z: \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\tmp"



If I open the project from Z: drive (WSL location) the .hep file will not be loaded.


If I execute DefaultConfig -> "Check Model" the above message "Use Case: FailsCheck" is not printed in the console.



If I don't use a mapped Z: folder but directly "\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu" the result is the same - .hep file is not loaded



If I open the project from WSL location but the path in General::Model::HelpersFile is specified to a Windows folder...for example: "$OMROOT\..\Samples\ExtensibilitySamples\ExternalChecksSample\Java\ExternalChecks\Checks.hep" then it is loaded correctly



My conclusion is Rhapsody is not able to load the .hep file if the .hep file is in a WSL folder.
