All open files closed when network connection lost [message #1774814]

Hello,

When I work on a project stored on a network drive and the connection to the network drive is lost, eclipse immediately tries to close all my open files or complains that it can not auto save and forces me to save somewhere else. The files disappear from the workspace, and I have to refresh to have them show up again.

Is there a way to have eclipse work better with files on a network drive?

The network is temporary lost and comes back by its self when my computer goes in and out of sleep, so this happens very frequently.

Using Windows 10, Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3), Build id: 20170314-1500

Thanks!

No, I don't think there is much you (or anyone) can do to improve this. I don't think there is a way to tell difference between "the network connection to the file is temporarily down" versus "the file is permanently deleted". Not having write access tot he workspace's metadata is also going to cause unexpected grief. It would be best to avoid this.

In case you are using git: Can you set up a git repository on the network server? Then you could work with a local repository / local files in eclipse and push / pull the changes?

I need to leave the source on a server, so that I can uses special tools to build it. The workspace is stored locally. I just think there should be a way to turn off auto save and stop eclipse from constantly checking if the file exists until I choose to save it. Thanks for your help and advice

I don't know all the context of your scenario, but usually/normally a build environment retrieves the source code from a source code repository and so one does not need to share project files on a network drive in order for that to be possible...
