Bug #4564
openModel Reference throws error with workflows in the same folder, but still functions
0%
Description
If I have a referring model (referring.xml) and a referred model (referred.xml) in the same folder, I have difficulty running the workflow. I get an error message that states "Not a file: file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/soong/Desktop/kepler/referred.xml", even though both workflows are located at C:/tmp.
However, if I Skip element, both workflows execute as expected. Alternatively, if I refer to the referred document as ../tmp/referred.xml, both workflows also execute as expected.

I take back that bit about ../tmp/referred.xml working. I think I just got confused. An error seems to be thrown for any relative path, but the actor will function if you click "Skip element".

What boggles my mind is the tpc09-plant-dynamics-woody.xml workflow uses a VisualModelReference actor that generally suffers from the same problem, but the relative path works here. If I delete a bunch of actors from the workflow, the error message appears, but if I undo the deletes, the workflow works as expected again.
