Re: [ice-users] ICE User Manual Chapter 6 seems Incomplete
Hey John, 

That’s a good catch, we should (and will) update the documentation to detail that. Basically, the default GitCloneHandler executes an action after the clone to import existing projects into the workspace - that is, projects that already have .project/.cproject files in them. If the project doesn’t, then we have to do a little more work to get them imported. 


It shows how to use tooling from the CDT to import a C++ project as a ‘Makefile project with existing code’. This is how our Developer > Framework > Clone Moose action works - since the Moose repo doesn’t have .project files either.

We’ll get a couple bug tickets in and get the documentation fixed, and provide a new GitCloneHandler subclass that let’s users clone a C++ repo and import it as in the ImportMooseTask. 

Best,

Alex

Hi

I followed chapter 6 in the user manual (on the developer menu) to create
a developer extension for GROMACS. When I finished, I was able to clone
GROMACS (C++) into ICE, but the project does not appear in the workspace.

There seems to be two problems:

1) GROMACS does not contain .project and .cproject files.

2) It is necessary to import the project into the workspace.

I think the tutorial should mention these two details or, better, if ICE would
automate these steps. Automating 2 seems possible, but 1 might not be,
since the .project and .cproject files should, I think, be part of the project
itself.


Thanks
John
