Build Analyzer issue

[matt-crc]

Hello,

Is there a trick to get the Build Analyzer to produce data every time the code is compiled?   It seems like the only way I can get it to update the window is if I change something in the linker script file and recompile again.   Is there an easier way or a setting that needs to be set?

thanks

Matthew

Hi @Pavel A. 

I just tried your suggestion, and when the "auto" is turned on, the refresh button is disabled:

turning off "Auto" re-enables that button, but I still have the original problem of the build analyzer not updating.

Either the build analyzer window is blank, or it is using data from an older compile.

Hello @matt-crc ,

First let me thank you for posting.

I suggest that you refer to UM2609, section 2.5 where this new button is explained and how you can change the behavior.

 

 

Thanks.

I'm running STM32cbutIDE 1.18 as well....  There must be a better way than having to restart the package after each compile....

My experience: The behavior used to work but was broken some time in the past few updates. The "auto" refresh doesn't work, and while restarting stm32cubeide works (once), it's hardly a solution.

same here.

It used to work around 1.14/1.15 and then it broke down

Yeah, its a real pain to have to restart the tool to check where the variables are stored

It's my experience as well, it was working fine up until CubeIDE 1.14, and has been broken since 1.16 (I did not used 1.15, so I don't know about this release).

I don't know if it's an Eclipse issue, or the ST added layer on top of it.

Hello @matt-crc ,

Further to your reply,

Build Views Refresh Mode: Auto

First Build: 8:29:35                                                          

Second Build: 8:40:34

Build Views Refresh Mode: ON request

First Build: 8:44:34

Second Build: 8:46:34

 

Thanks.

Here's a video (and screenshot) of it not refreshing when "refresh" is clicked again. Works first time, never again.

I sent Mahmoud a video yesterday with the same results (even after deleting the debug directory from the project as he suggested).  I guess ST has no intention of fixing this issue that I and other users have reported.

I have to refresh the project whenever the build analyzer stops working (seems to be every time after the first build)... But it's a better solution than restarting the IDE... lol

Hi

I have found you have to select the .map file in the Project Explorer window (Either Debug or Release but depends on your current build configuration). Then click on the Refresh icon and you'll find it will update almost immediately. You don't have to open the .map file, just have it selected before you then move the mouse over to click on the Refresh button.

I don't think the 'Auto' option in Preferences has ever worked so always set it to 'On request'

I have v1.18.1 with Auto on. What seems to work for me is:

1. Build.

2. Right click on project name. The Build Analyzer window goes blank.

3. Select Refresh.

4. Click back in a code window. Analyzer window updates.

[nico23]

I can confirm. It seems the trick is to:

• Right click on project name and Select Refresh

This is an incredibly frustrating bug. 

For me, none of the clicking and refreshing of the project works. The only alternative to rebooting the entire IDE I've found is to close the build analyzer before building, then building, then re-opening it from the Window menu and refreshing.
