CCS/CODECOMPOSER: Removing "Goto line" progress bar

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I suddenly have a bar which is running in the background continuously and doesn't seem to do anything and can't be deleted -

is there some way of removing it?

Here's a screenshot:

Thanks,

Amitai

  • Hi Amitai,
    If you close the progress view, does it keep reopening on its own?

    Thanks

  • At startup it doesn't appear, but sometime after it does.

    in progress bar it seems like shown below, and pressing the red stop button doesn't change anything.

    Might it be connected to the "quick search for eclipse" add-on which I have installed?

  • It seems that the issue derives from the remote search.
    When pressing on some of the results which appear in the in remote search results window
    the file containing the specif result displays the beginning of the file, instead of the specif line where
    the searched term appears. Each attempt trying to open such a result opens another "Goto Line" bar as seen above.

    Instead, the file is just opened immediately without the bar appearing.

    What exact CCSV7 version are you using? 

    Thanks

  • Version: 7.4.0.00015
  • I am using the same CCS version but I am unable to reproduce the progress bar issue. You mentioned you have some additional plug-in installed. Can you provide more details on this (a link to the plug-in)?

    Thanks

  • The extension used is "quick text search" - https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/quick-search-eclipse.

    Now I have now another connected issue - failure of suggested updates:

  • Amitai,

    I just tried installing this from the marketplace.  

    It appears to be really old.  The one I found is referencing Eclipse 3.x.  We are currently on Eclipse 4.6 in CCSv7.4 which is actually a bit old itself.

    In your one capture I see references to CDT 9.2.  That is not going to work with CCSv7.x either as we are using 9.0.  The good news there is that CCSv8.0 will be out in a few weeks and it has a compatible version of CDT.

    Regards,

  • Thanks John,

    In the mean time I have manually disabled some updates, so that these warning don't appear.

    Do you think the quick search extension causes the 'goto line' issue?

    The Remote search causes lots of trouble. They are some searches I have done which for some reason

    appear only via this type of search, and when choosing one of the results of this search I'm seeing a file

    which isn't synchronized with the project and causes errors. Am I missing something out? Is this the intention

    of the 'remote' search? not to see the local files, but some type of backup files?

  • Amitai,

    Neither Ki or I have been able to reproduce the Goto Line message. We have a feature to "Run to line" but when that gets stuck the message in the Progress view is "GEL Expression: GEL_GO(address)". I tried that out by telling it to run to a place it cannot reach. Similarly when I use remote search it shows "Search" in the progress view. Thus it seems like something else is causing it to appear.

    Remote search is used to search for files anywhere in your file system. You use the folder field to specify where you want to search. You control the file extension of files that it will search. By default it is set to search * so it will search all files, including hidden files.

    File Search and C/C++ search are limited to contents of your workspace.

    Regards,
    John
  • Did you end up removing the Quick Search feature to clear the message?
  • I decided to wait for CCS8, see if this solves the issue.
  • Ok. When you install CCSv8 please don't install that other extension from the marketplace. CCSv8 will be out very soon. Just going through final signoff.
  • Amitai - did you have a chance to try out CCSv8? It was released on the 9th.

    Thanks

  • I have installed the latest version, and the goto-line issue still exists with no add-ons.
