RE: [cdt-dev] [New project model] stroage modules won't get copied ?

["Sennikovsky, Mikhail" <mikhail.sennikovsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sascha,

Yes, the way configurations are created in UI now is that the storage
modules never get copied. This might be correct for the case the
configuration is created based upon the default configuration, but this
is definitely incorrect for the case of creating configuration based
upon the existing one.

This is an UI issue that should be fixed. The New Configuration dialog
should use
ICProjectDescription.createConfiguration(String id, String name,
ICConfigurationDescription base)
rather than 
ICProjectDescription.createConfiguration(String buildSystemId,
CConfigurationData data)
At least for creating a new configuration based on the existing one.

Please raise a bug and we'll take a look into this.

Thanks,
Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-dev] [New project model] stroage modules won't get copied
?

Hi,

before posting a bug I'd like to ask this on the mailing list. Maybe I'm
missing something.

I use the "manage configurations" dialog to create a new build
configuration
as a copy of another build configuration. Looking at the new build
configuration I noticed that none of the additional storage modules
seems to
get copied ?

I associate my own data with build configurations using the storage
module
support in the new project model:

ICStorageElement storageElement = configDesc.getStorage(ID, true);
storageElement.setAttribute(id, value);

So in the .cproject it looks like this for original configuration :
<storageModule moduleId="com.bla.bla" valueA="bla" valueB="blabla"/>

But I can't find this in the new (copy) configuration. The settings will
be
lost and there is no chance to copy the values myself.

The same thing seems to happen for the external settings provider
storage
module. It won't get copied. My custom storage module settings getting
lost
is a more severe issue though.

Is this a bug ? Or is there some kind of feature to specify which
storages
modules should be copied ?

Thanks in advance

Sascha
