Where is "AnswerFormatHelp.pl" in 2.16?

Hi,

We updated to 2.16 in August and it seems that problems which use AnswerFormatHelp.pl are not able to find the macro.  

Thanks for your help--rac

Hi,
defaults.config contains
$pg{directories}{macrosPath} = [
".", # search the problem file's directory
$courseDirs{macros},
$pg{directories}{macros},
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Alfred",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/BrockPhysics",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/CollegeOfIdaho",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Dartmouth",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/FortLewis",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Hope",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/LaTech",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/MC",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Michigan",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Mizzou",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/NAU",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/PCC",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/TCNJ",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/UBC",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/UMass-Amherst",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/UW-Stout",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/UniSiegen",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Union",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/WHFreeman",
"$courseDirs{templates}/Library/macros/Wiley",
];
and AnswerFormatHelp.pl is under FortLewis. Thus it should be found if you have a standard setup.

Could the macros search path have been modified in your localOverrides.conf? Or (unlikely) could you not be using Library to point to the OPL?

I know when I upgraded some of the file permissions got changed.  Check that the file in Library/macros/FortLewis is readable by your web server.
