Part Number: MSP430F5419A

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

My build configuration names are include special characters like "[,_". So i cant run "setActiveBuildConfig" and "buildProject" functions. I get NullPointerException error. How can i fix this? I don't want to change my build configuration names.

    Hello,
    non-alphanumeric characters must be escaped with double backslashes.

    example for a config name "[,_config"

    setActiveBuildConfig("project" , "\\[\\,\\_config")

    fyi - non-alphanumeric characters are not recommended. It may cause further troubles down the road. I would make a plan to eventually change the config names.

    Thanks

    Project Name : "@Project"

    Build Conf. Name : "!Debug"

    setActiveBuildConfig("\\@Project","\\!Debug")

    I've opened new project to test this and it works, but it doesn't work on my main project, it gives "wait condition time out"

    BTW i can build project without backslashes or one blackslash

    • buildProject("@Project")  
    • buildProject("\@Project") 

    Edit: 

    I got the problem. It doen't work because of build conf. name's description. If i delete "description", it works. But i can't delete the description for all my build configs. There are more the  80 configuration.

    The description should not matter.

    You only need to use the backslashes for the configuration name, not the project.

    Try:

    setActiveBuildConfig("@Project","\\!Debug")

    That works for me.

    Thanks

    You are right, it *does* matter. I'm befuddled why it has an impact. But it looks like a bug to me.

    You can set the active build config with description using this syntax. Note that the ".*" at the end of the configuration name. Ideally, you shouldn't need to add the wildcard, the API should include this by default.

    setActiveBuildConfig("@Project", "!Debug.*");
