RE: [cdt-dev] Updating MBS project tyes - converter does not get called

["Davasam, Sunil K" <sunil.k.davasam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

    There is a JUnit test that checks the project converter functionality. Please see the JUnit test 'testProjectConversion()' in 'MultiVersionSupportTests' suite. The package 'org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.tests' contains this test suite. Please see the JUnit test if you have missed anything else.

 

    By the way, Leo is on vacation.

 

Regards,

Sunil

Subject: [cdt-dev] Updating MBS project tyes - converter does not get called

Hi folks,

 

I was overhauling some org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions and now I want to distribute the updated definitions to my clients. The ids for projectType, configuration and toolchain have remained the same but I changed pretty much every id for the tool and builder definitions. Referring to the document attached to bugzilla #89872 I thought I'd go by this simple scheme:

 

- Simply append a version identifier to the projectType definition, like so:

 

  previously:   <projectType id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe"

  afterwards:   <projectType id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe_2.0.0"

 

- Make any changes I like below  and rely on my converter implementation to put things straight later on.

 

- Declare a project converter

 

 <extension
       point="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.projectConverter">
    <converter
          id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.convert_old_2.0.0"
          fromId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe"
          toId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe_2.0.0"/>
          mbsVersion="3.1.0"
          name="AuDis Builddefinitions Converter, old to 2.0.0"
          class="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.Converter_200_Old"
 </extension>

But the converter never gets called.

 

Reading the documentation in #89872 seemed to indicate that the old project type declaration must still be present in the file so I tried with a dummy declaration which has the convertToId attribute:

  <projectType
   id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe"
   name="AuDis executable built on Windows host"
   convertToId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe_2.0.0"/>

Didn't work either.

Then I retried specifying the old configuration and toolchain in addition to the project type:

 

  <projectType
   id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe"
   name="AuDis executable built on Windows host"
   convertToId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe_2.0.0">
   <configuration
               id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.debug"
               convertToId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.debug_2.0.0">
    <toolChain
                  id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.debug.wintools"
                  convertToId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.debug.wintools_2.0.0"/>
   </configuration>
   <configuration
               id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.release"
               convertToId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.release_2.0.0">
    <toolChain
                  id="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.release.wintools"
                  convertToId="com.siemens.ad.rtp.audis.tools.exe.release.wintools_2.0.0"/>
   </configuration>
  </projectType>   

Converter still doesn't get called.

What more can I do? (Huh, Leo?)

 

Thanks for reading this far and a pointer to the next step.
