Questa Starter Edition (25.1): Debug Visibility

61 Views

I have the Questa Starter Edition installed on my dev VM (running Ubuntu 24.04). I noticed recently that when I run my sims and view the resulting vsim.wlf file that only few signal are visible. For instance, the parameters are all not visible. I've been banging my head on this for days but I cannot seem to get to the bottom of it. I re-created the issue with super simple code:

src=mult.sv and tb_mult.sv (generic multiplier and SV testbench)

Here is how I run the sim from CLI:

vlib mult
vlog -sv -work mult mult.sv tb_mult.sv

vsim -c -voptargs=+acc mult.tb_mult -do "log -r /*; run -all; quit"

I then open the resulting vsim.wlf file and I only see:

The objects window is missing a whole lot of detail.

What's interesting is once I'm in the GUI, if I tried to compile and run vsim again I seem to get the signal visiblity that I want:

What could I be missing here?
