Refreshing the file list [message #1138242] Tue, 15 October 2013 02:09 Go to next message

Hello,

I use cmake to generate my Eclipes CDT projects. I sometimes add files to my project. After I add a file, but before I "finish" compiling, the new files are invisible. I cannot open them with CTRL-SHIFT-R. I cannot double-click them in the error console to jump to a line number. I just "finish" a compile (even if it fails).

Is there a keyboard (or mouse if necessary) way I can ask Eclipse to refresh the files without compiling? (I'm looking for something faster than running the compiler/linker/cmake/etc).

Thank you,

Chris

Axel,

I tried this:

1. Open an existing eclipse CDT project

2. Use CTRL-SHIFT-r to search for the file test.cpp

3. Verify that test.cpp does not exist

4. using bash, 'touch test.cpp' inside the source tree

5. Press F5 in eclipse

6. Use CTRL-SHIFT-r to search for the file test.cpp

7. test.cpp does not exist

8. Press CTRL-B to start a compile. Await completion.

9. Use CTRL-SHIFT-r to search for the file test.cpp

10. test.cpp does exist!

Based on your response, I was expecting at step 7 to find test.cpp in the file list. I conclude that F5 does not work with my setup (Eclipse Kepler under linux).

Thank you,

Chris

I confirmed that F5 does not work on Eclipse 3.8 or Eclipse Kepler.

Are you clicking on the project first in Project Explorer? You have to select a folder containing your file in the Project Explorer first then F5 will refresh what you selected recursively.

You should enable the following:
Preferences: General->Workspace: enable "Refresh using native hooks"

Refreshing is then much faster.

Marc-Andre,

No. I did not use the Project Explorer to select a folder containing my file before pressing F5. I do not even keep open a "Project Explorer" View. I will open a "Project Explorer" View and try your F5 method again.

Unfortunately for me, I dislike using the mouse while writing code. If use of the mouse and project explorer is required for a quick file refresh, I'll stick with the slow 10-step method I outlined earlier.

Thank you for your help,

Chris
