Can't exclude from build

[superaga]

Hi all,

I'm using the (last) MCUXpresso IDE v11.2.1 [Build 4149] [2020-10-07].

I can't Exclude from build a folder that I added to a project.

I used to do it without a problem on a previous IDE version. I'd like to avoid to reinstall also another older version (I've just got a clean installation) to check this.

am I the only one got this issue or is it a bug? I attach screenshots of the matter.

excludeBuild_01 -> see all folders icon before the operation;

excludeBuild_02 ->execution of the command on both the configurations;

excludeBuild_03 ->result after command run. All folders look still considered for the build.

Best regards,

AGA

Hello AGA,

Your parent/root folder needs to be *included* into the build and should have a 'S' as Icon decorator to indicate it contains sources.

Hi @ErichStyger,

Yes that solves the issue.

For sure my mind failed to remember the steps I made..

Thank you very much!

To be included in a build, the folder needs to be a source folder. If it is not a source folder, it is automatically excluded from the build.

From your '01 screenshot, there are no source folders, so excluding does not make sense.
