"Skip automoatic task execution at startup time" set as default? [message #1705650] Tue, 18 August 2015 07:18 Go to next message

Dear all,

I just used a .setup file that was once working for a new installation, but noticed that none of the startup tasks got executed.

A colleague of mine had the same problem with a different .setup and it turns out that in our newly installed Eclipse the oomph setting "Skip automoatic task execution at startup time" was set -> no startup task gets executed.

Is that intended?

Regards,

Andreas

What kind of setup? Your user.setup? A project.setup?

Do you have a -Doomph.setup.skip=true in your eclipse.ini or such a
property in your config.ini? Or perhaps you have recorded a preference
task in your user.setup for setting skip.startup.tasks to false?

No, but it shouldn't happen by default either...

Hi Ed,

I am using a project setup. eclipse.ini and config.ini seem clean.
I changed the setting in the preferences and it does not seem to affect my user setup.

I would assume, that the "skip" setting should affect only specific installations of eclipse, not all of those that I install with Oomph?

Regards,

Andreas

So only the preference itself is involved...

Yes, Eike mentioned this one is not recorded.

It's instance scoped, i.e., stored in the workspace:

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.ui.prefs

So unless that file explicitly contains

skip.startup.tasks=true

it should default to false.

Something must be setting it to true. Perhaps create a new
installation for that project setup, and don't automatically launch it.
Look in the workspace to see if that preference file is absent (I would
expect so). Then launch the IDE and make sure you don't have a
preference task setting it to true, because that's the only way I can
imagine it becoming true. Alternatively, in the perform wizard, on the
confirmation page, get it to show all tasks (check box at bottom), and
confirm there is no such preference task.

Other than such a task, I don't know of anything that would cause this
preference to end up being true all by itself...
