NIM0001: Broken help link

NIM0001 reports a broken link in the generated driver help — a cross-reference whose target topic or asset does not exist in the generated output. A broken link would leave readers at a dead end, so Nimbus flags it during help generation.

  • A hand-authored link in a custom field (such as Remarks) points to a driver item that was renamed, removed, or never existed.
  • A link to a boilerplate page whose file name does not match any page in the help.
  • A typo in a link target.
  • For links to driver items (interfaces, methods, properties, enums, errors), use the Copy help link to clipboard command in the Driver Designer and paste the result, rather than typing the target by hand. See Using the Help Editor.
  • For boilerplate links, make sure the target matches the page’s file name.
  • For external links, verify the URL.

Set the NIM0001Severity property to control how this diagnostic is treated (None, Information, Warning, or Error). It defaults to Error in Release builds and Warning otherwise. See Configuring Driver Design Analysis.
