Re: [cdt-dev] debug - active build configuration changes during launch
|
Here is my 2 cents. We can add another launch constant (property?), lets say
public static final String ATTR_PROJECT_BUILD_CONFIG_BEHAVIOR = CDT_LAUNCH_ID + ".PROJECT_BUILD_CONFIG_BEHAVIOR";
which has values:
NO_BUILD - no build for this launch at all
USE_BUILD_ID - use build it set using ATTR_PROJECT_BUILD_CONFIG_ID to do build
USE_ACTIVE - use active build to do a build
(last two only applicable if build when launch is enabled)
Default value can be USE_BUILD_ID which is current, or USE_ACTIVE is less buggy. This approach would not require adding extra UI in 5.0.2.

Please describe how do you propose fixing it for 5.0.2?

Elena,
I worked on this originally and I agree that it needs to be improved to
handle the problems and use cases you mentioned. Please don't remove it.
I'll work on some short term improvements for 5.0.2 and more for 6.0.

Subject: [cdt-dev] debug - active build configuration changes during launch
Regarding
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=229740
We have a "feature" that launch config remembers first active launch
configuration for managed projects and when
it launches (if build when launch enabled) it is setting it to active and
then
builds.
This is really bad, because
a) It does not restore active build config that was set by user, meaning my
active config magically changes for unknown reason (I know why now...)
b) If user changes project in launch config this magical build config does
not
change, so if you lucky you have same launch config in this another project
and
it will build, if not you get an NPE (bug236847 which is fixed on trunk by
somebody)
c) If user deletes related config same NPE
d) There is no user setting that allow to change or even view config
associated with the launch
e) additionally if project is not managed project or not intent to be
re-build
when launching there is no way to specify it
I will remove this functionality in 5.0.2 (i.e. setting active config to
"launch" related build config when building, it will build user selected
active config).
any objections?
For 6.0 we should implement proper fix:
- support from UI
- support when build config is deleted
- support if different project is selected
- support for "none" as build config - that allow not to build project for
this launch
