CCS/CODECOMPOSER: Relative Paths in the Debug Configuration

I am trying to set a relative path in the "Initialization Script" section of the Debug configuration in CCS v8.I have read through this article and it seems to be possible http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_portable-projects.html#debug-configurations

I have tried many permutations of the methods listed with no success.

${build_var:/PROJECT_LOC}/debug_script.js

${build_var:/PROJECT_LOC}/myProjectName/debug_script.js

Hello,

${build_var:/PROJECT_LOC}/debug_script.js

Remove the first forward slash:

${build_var:PROJECT_LOC}/debug_script.js

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion and it still did not work.

Do you get any kind of error message (or any message at all)?

Just that the "Specified Initialization Script does not exist"

hmm... that syntax should work.

Can you try:

${workspace_loc:/myProjectName/debug_script.js}

Same result.

In this case though, my project is not located in the same place as my CCS workspace, so I would not expect this to work.

True. But the below should work:

${build_var:PROJECT_LOC}/debug_script.js

Can you confirm that the desried project (with the script) is ACTIVE in the Project Explorer when trying specify the script location, and when the launch configuration is launched?

In my screenshot below, note that the project is ACTIVE (in bold) in the Project Explorer when I specify the Initialization Script and launch the debug configuration. This works for me - the contents of init.js are executed.

Ah, I see that you are using an older CCS. When I re-read your first post, you explicitly mention CCSv8. I missed that. Older versions of CCS does not support dynamic variables in the debug configuration. You must use CCSv9.2.0 or later.
