CCS/MSP-EXP432P401R: CCSv7 project will not stop Build Automatically

Part Number: MSP-EXP432P401R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi All,

I'm starting a new project with Code Composer 7 and I'm finding my code is constantly building after I stop typing. I want to stop this, and I went to un-check the box for Build Automatically in the Project drop-down in the toolbar. That didn't fix it, and I found another box that was checked in Window->Preferences->General->Workspace called "Build automatically" and I unchecked that, too. That didn't stop it either. I did a restart of the workspace and it didn't help either. 

Does anyone know what I might be missing?

Thanks,

  • Hello

    It builds when you just "stop typing"? Or did you mean it build when you save the file? I've heard of the latter (if you enabled 'Project -> Build Automatically') but I have never the former

  • I did mean "stop typing." Such as when I want to toggle P3.6, I stop typing at P3OUT ^= BIT6 without adding the semicolon and it starts to build and tells me there's a bunch of errors because i hadn't put in the semicolon yet.

    I'm going to start a new workspace and copy the contents into it and see if this is another "switch workspaces" error. Hopefully it is.

    Thanks,
  • Wow, ok... I've never heard of that issue before. Hopefully cleaning the workspace helps. Please let us know.

    Thanks

  • Just to let you know, I did end up starting a new workspace and it did go away. I have no idea what happened, but that fixed it. Simple fix for a crazy thing.

    Thanks,

  • Thanks for the update. Sounds like it was corrupted cache data stored in the workspace. This tends to happen over time if you don't periodically clean out your workspace.
