TMS320F28377S: Command Line Build - Project not found

Paul Hetherington
Intellectual 330 points

Part Number: TMS320F28377S

Running ccs-server-cli.bat to build projects on my development machine works, but it doesn't work on what we use as a build machine. The error is that it can't find the project. The project folder is there. though. Output below.  Where does ccs-server-cli.bat look to determine that a project is present?

Thanks in advance,

Paul Hetherington

    Update:

    I tried the   '-ccs.autoImport'  and the command line builds began working.

    .cproject was touched (its timestamp changed) but otherwise was not modified. I can't find any files that were changed by -ccs.autoimport.

    What file(s) were changed?  I'd like to include them in source control so this doesn't need to be repeated.

    Thanks,

    Projects must be imported to the workspace before they can be built. Please note that when building via CLI, just because the project folder physically resides in the workspace being referenced doesn't mean that the project has been "imported". There is also some information that needs to be written to the workspace metadata for the project to be officially imported. When using CCS IDE, the IDE will scan the workspace folder to see there is a project folder in there that is missing metadata and if so, it will generate it automatically (properly import it). This doesn't happen from CLI so you need to make sure that the projects are correctly imported first.

    It is in workspace metadata in the CCS cache. These files are typically not version controlled. Hence it is good practice to use the -ccs.autoimport flag when building from CLI.

    Thanks
