Problem with tasks menu in enterprise guide.

[noetsi]

Whenever I try to do a task, like summary statistics rather than the task coming up  I get what I show below. If I try eventually I get the task, but it takes many many tries and it's getting worse. This is what shows up when I try to do a task

any help on how to fix this would be very appreciated. It did not use to occur.

Tasks like Summary Statistics require input data, so when you launch a task and see a file dialog, it's an indication that there isn't active input data in the project.

Now, your file selector in the screenshot is unexpected, as it should have selectors for SAS sources like libraries in addition to just your local computer. Is it possible that you don't have a local SAS installation and no active profile for a remote SAS server? One of these is required, so that SAS can be used to perform the data access and analysis.

I am not certain of the answer to your question. This is a new problem, with the same set up as exists now this was not occurring in the past. Also if I do it enough times eventually the task template shows up and I can run it. So it knows where the information is or it would never run (I think)?

Not sure if this helps but this shows the source (generated by an import task) that generates the results. In this case I was finally able to get the task to work, but it took many efforts to do so. It is very strange it will eventually work, but takes many attempts. And I see nothing different in what I am doing when it works, and when it does not (generates the request you saw originally).
