Build configuration with Oomph [message #1712626]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to create a Build configuration with Setup Project Model? I created a build configuration using "External Tools Configurations" (that uses scons to build a project). Now, I would like to be able to export this configurations in my future Eclipse Installations.

I found "Projects Build" Task in a setup Project Model, but seems like this is something different, or may be I don't know how to use it properly.

Thank you!

Artem,

We have a bunch of build configurations for Oomph itself, but we keep
them in the git repository (via the Common tab we place them in our
releng bundle) so they're always available when Oomph has been setup.
Isn't that sufficient in your case?

Hi Ed,

Thank you! This is something similar to what I am looking for. Though, I have two more questions:
1. How can I use the .launch file in my installation together with an existing .setup file?
2. Where can I lookup the existing keys/values for a .launch file? In particular, I am interested in adding environmental variables to my build configuration.

Artem,

Laucher configurations too have a common tab that you can save them in a
project so they're always available. You can specify environment
variables in the Environment tab of the launch configuration. Oomph
also has a Launch task so you can launch a named launcher available in
one of your projects. This blog, which describes how to launch MWE
might be helpful if that's your goal:

Ed,

Thank you for your reply. The blog says that creating a launch task as simple as providing a path to .launch file that contains the build/debug configuration. I did that by setting up the "Launch Configuration" field of a Launch task to an absolute path of a launch file, but I don't see any build configurations after the installation. Can you give me a hint on what am I doing wrong?

I think you need to specify a workspace-relative path.

You just need to specify the name of the launcher. Look at his example:

HI Ed,

In this example, they assign "Generate Language Infrastructure (it.xsemantics.example.fjcached)" or "GenerateFJ.mwe2" in the "launcher" field. None of them looks like a relative/absolute path to a .launch file. Can you give more details on that? Is having only the .launch file enough or I need to create some Targlets or Component Extension tasks?

I attached the screenshot with the setting for my launch task.

Artem,

None of them are the absolute or relative path. They specify just the
name of the launcher. I.e., the last segment of the path without the
file extension as you see it in the menus and in the Name: field of the
configuration dialogs. If the launcher depends on projects that must
be built first or on plugins in the target platform, you likely need a
build task first. The Xsemantics setup is in Oomph's Github project
catalog, so you can try out how it works.

Ed is right: first ensure the project containing the .launch file has
been built. Afterwards you just specify the file name without the
..launch extension and it should work.

Hi

The blog actually says

"For the “Launch” task, you need to use the name of the .launch file,
without .launch."

And as Ed said, you first need to ensure the project containing the
..launch is in the workspace... (if I remember correctly, the build task
is not required for the launch configuration to be found: it is required
for the mwe2 launcher class to be found.)

cheers
Lorenzo
