lost project settings after restart MCUXpresso

julie — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:40:39 GMT

I found out this the hard way and hope that it won't happen to other people and MCUXpresso IDE team fixes this in a future release.

Yesterday I created a new MCUXpresso project on my Windows 7 PC and added my source files from KDS project to the new project. And then I added my Build Variables and also added include directories to Paths and Symbols and applied the change. Everything went well and I was able to build and debug without any problem. Then I closed the IDE and restarted it, when I went to Properties, all my settings were gone.

The reason is that .cproject was read only, the settings were not saved, but the IDE did not give any warning when I closed the tool.

Hi Julie,

we have never seen such problem in the IDE: basically, all the settings changed in the project are applied and saved in the .cproject file. This file is always accessible for read and write and I was wondering if something else has made the file read-only.

Could you please attach the .log file? you can find it in <your workspace>/.metadata folder.

Ciao,

MCUXpresso IDE support team.

Hello Julie,

in addition,

The default .cproject file is read/write access for both KDS and MCUXpresso.

Can you please force .cproject file and other source files as readwrite then test again?

meanwhile, can you test the project in a new created workspace?

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang

Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation for the last couple of days. Here is the log and two screen captures to show you the problem.

This screen shows that I have MY_TEST variable defined. Since the .cproject file is read only, the setting is not saved. I think the tool should at least warn the user about it. But I never got any warning about it. After I quit the tool and relaunch it, the setting is gone as shown below.

Again my question is not about read/write access, my question is about if settings can't be saved, why the tool does not warn user about it?
