CCSv6 Version: 6.1.3.00034 Pre and Post Build Steps don't work

I am porting a project from V5.5 to V6.1.3.00034.  Prior version used Project | Properties | Build | Steps menu item to invoke a pre-build script and a post-build script.  After filling in the boxes with appropriate commands and hitting the OK button to dismiss that popup window, I find that only the pre-build command gets into the automatically generated makefile.  The post-build command is not there.  Also, when the ...| Build | Steps dialog is brought back up, both the pre-build and the post-build textboxes are empty.

I have already tried starting CC with the -clean option, deleting the .metadata in my workspace, and rebooting the host Windows machine.  I have no doubt that the script invocations are correct and will work, since the pre-build script actually runs.  

No error messages are generated during the build.  The comments that are placed in the Build | Steps dialog box are reflected in the Console window and they do not disappear if the dialog is closed and re-opened.

  • Hi Tom,
    Can you show a screenshot of the pre/post build step fields in your project properties?

    Thanks

  • To clarify, I would like to see the commands you are entering that are not being preserved
  • Hello Ki-Soo Lee,

    This morning I am not able to duplicate the problem.

    In fact, everything seems to be back to working normally.

    Didn't restart CC, or the host PC, just left it running overnight.

    Strange.  Thanks for your quick reply.
