CCS/LAUNCHXL-F28069M: Custom task flags do not appear in Task View

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28069M
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I create a custom todo tag, say FIX.  It is highllighted as a task in the editor, but it does not show up in the Task view.  Shouldn't it?

Code Composer Studio   Version: 8.0.0.00016

  • Hi Mike,

    The big question is in which dialog did you add the custom tag. There are multiple places to add tags, and they all impact different components.

    For the Eclipse CDT editor, you'd want the one as shown below:

    Note that you mush make sure you select the option to "Show advanced settings" (in the lower left corner) to expose it

    Thanks

  • So I had done it in exactly this place having seen your other answer, but it didn't show up. I tried refreshing the project, then I waited until I rebooted, and it still didn't show up this morning. Now it is there. Is there a process to get the task list to refresh? Only thing I think I did was put // directly in front of it. Is that required, or can it be anywhere in a comment?

    Or, I just went back and looked, and I had put the tag in a .h file.  Is that why it didn't show up?  Many of the .h files are also not searched with file search, apparently because they are not in the correct place in the dir tree (per one of your other answers)  They can be found under the .c files that use them, but not searched it seems.  This is a TI provided motorware project, so I do not want to rearrange it, I'm struggling to learn this instaspin stuff already, messing with the project structure is something I'd rather not do. But I use Ctrl+H a lot to find stuff, and it really frustrates me that it doesn't find stuff in many of the .h files.  If the compiler finds it, code composer should too.

  • No, it can be anywhere in a comment string. If you see the tag become bold, then you know that it is a valid task tag. Usually if I save the file, it shows up in the task view. You can try rebuilding the index, though you normally do not have to.

  •  Has the issue referred to in this thread  ever been resolved?  (File search not searching .h files not in the project directory)

    I put my tag in a .h file that is not in the project dir.  Is that why it didn't show up in the task list?  Same problem? 

    (This really should get fixed.  Using a C/C++ search has other problems and is not really a solution.  Re-making the project tree isn't either in my case, this is a TI provided project to learn instaspin, and that is hard enough without redoing the project structure)

  • Unfortunately it is still an issue.

    Both the file search and the tasks list would use information from the index. The issue is that indexer is not scanning those files
