I'm trying to take baby steps with Trace Compass to make my own parsers for bare metal non-Linux tracking. I'm outputting a simple trace in CTF format and have successfully imported into Trace Compass. TC recognized/tagged it as "Common Trace Format:Generic CTF Trace". Below is what the event list looks like in Eclipse:

Timestamp		Event type	Contents
16:00:13.059 673	ThreadRun	threadId=40
16:00:13.059 768	ThreadRun	threadId=15
16:00:13.059 786	ThreadRun	threadId=40
16:00:13.059 823	ThreadRun	threadId=3
16:00:13.059 855	ThreadSleep	threadId=3, sleepUsec=1000
16:00:13.059 859	ThreadRun	threadId=40
16:00:13.059 996	ThreadRun	threadId=0


I'm trying to just get an extremely simple/useless custom xml working similar to what's documented in http://archive.eclipse.org/tracecompass/doc/stable/org.eclipse.tracecompass.doc.user/Data-driven-analysis.html#Data_driven_analysis so that I can verify the basic steps and understand what's going on. Below is the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tmfxml xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="xmlDefinition.xsd">
    <stateProvider version="0" id="thread.test.analysis">
        <head>
            <!-- traceType id="?" /-->
            <label value="Thread test analysis" />
        </head>

        <definedValue name="RUNNING" value="0" />

        <eventHandler eventName="ThreadRun">
            <stateChange>
                <stateAttribute type="constant" value="Tasks" />
                <stateAttribute type="eventField" value="threadId" />
                <stateValue type="int" value="$RUNNING" />
            </stateChange>
        </eventHandler>
    </stateProvider>
</tmfxml>


I see "Thread test analysis" show up in the State System Explorer view but no tree nodes under it.

What am I doing wrong? What is traceType supposed to be for a generic CTF?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

What you see in the tree is normal since you only define an analysis in the xml file with no view associated.
If you want to see a view, you should add a view description in your xml file. An example would be:

<timeGraphView id="thread.test.view">
<head>
<analysis id="thread.test.analysis" />
<label value="Thread Test Status" />
</head>

<entry path="Tasks/*">
<display type="self" />
</entry>
</timeGraphView>

Please take a look at the XSD file for the view definition:

Hi!

Did you double-click on the "Thread test analysis" in the State System Explorer view? The XML analyses are executed only when a view requests its content (and you don't seem to have any view) _or_ when you manually ask for the execution by double-clicking in the State System Explorer.
