CODECOMPOSER: Theia AM263P4: Core Groups Not Persistent

Hello,

Kier said:

I have to 'Create Core Group...' every time I start debugging. The expectation is that the Core groups are remembered somehow, as per Eclipse.

The behavior should be the same in CCS Theia. I see this behavior. The group information should get stored in the launch configuration.

Open your launch.json file and check the applicable launch configuration entry:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide_ccs_theia/ccs_debug-main.html#launch-configurations

In the example in the above link, you can see the first launch configuration has the group information stored there.

Thanks

Thanks Ki.

I can confirm that there's no groupInfo entry in my launch.json.

I managed to add it manually as per your example and it seems to work OK although the tab seems to indicate a syntax problem.

So I guess committing this to launch.json is the missing action. I would expect this to be done by Theia since the group is created through the GUI.

By the way, for this question...

...the button labels should be Yes and No but more importantly, if I click Cancel (no) then there's no indication the group has been created at all. Can I suggest that somehow you indicate a core group is present but not enabled by inversing the 'group_0' text?

e.g.

Enabled:

Present but disabled:

It is supposed to. I see it this behavior. See my video below. Note how the group is added to the launch configuration in the launch.json when I create the group in the GUI (click on video to see full size):

Thanks for the suggestion. I will discuss with the team here.
