_ProjectSet_WorkingDir then find in <Project> does not reflect the set value

[ehab]

 

current project working dir is . but when i change that using

Code: [Select]

_ProjectSet_WorkingDir(_ProjectHandle(),"c:\somepath\");
and then invoke find in <Project> i expected the search will happen in somepath but its in the current project working dir!

is this a bug? any hints where i can make the change so it reads the correct value.

thanks for any directions.

Project file lists are cached, so if you are changing some property on the fly via macro, you may need to clear the cache.  Try _clearProjectFileListCache()

Code: [Select]

/**
 * Clears the cached file list for the given project.  This
 * should be called whenever a project changes.
 *
 * @param workspaceFile          full path to workspace file
 * @param projectFile            full path to project file
 * 
 * @categories Project_Functions
 */
extern void _clearProjectFileListCache(_str workspaceFile, _str projectFile);

Lee, thanks for quick response.

i added

Code: [Select]

_clearProjectFileListCache(_workspace_filename,_project_get_filename());
before i set the new path but i cannot select subdirs in find dialog when look in : <Project>

any ideas why?

<Project> only searches files listed in the current active project.  It does not additionally search working paths if that is what you are asking/expecting.

i wanted to set a project working dir on the fly and then expected to use the find in files. Is there a workaround? if not then i'll next try if i can set the Find in files directory before show.

You could set the Find in: to "." (no quote) and which starts search at the current working directory.  Just make sure the working directory is set to c:\somepath, or whatever it is you want to search.

such a simple solution. works fine : )

thanks again lee and have a nice weekend.

just in an extra tip for the recored:

Code: [Select]

   _str prj_p=_ProjectGet_WorkingDir(_ProjectHandle());
   find_in_files('',prj_p);
