Does Build Clean really clean ?

[LMESTM]

Not sure if this is a bug or a request for enhancement

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Windows
• VS Code Version: 1.76.0
• Extension Version: v0.16.0
• Target Device: STM32
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): Keil Pack

When pressing Clean Build button, it doesn't seem like clean really happens:

• is cprj temp file removed ? If not, could this be considered ?
• same for cmake files As of now, when we do Build Clean it seems like nothing is rebuilt

Thanks @LMESTM, I am able to reproduce this issue. The clean build button isn't correctly passing the --rebuild option to cbuild. We'll get a fix out for this.

is cprj temp file removed ? If not, could this be considered ?

The CPRJ isn't removed by cbuild --rebuild. However, from toolbox 1.5.0 cbuild can run a build directly on a csolution without needing the intermediate CPRJ. We plan to update the extension to do this, so there would be no CPRJ to clean.

same for cmake files

This should be handled by correctly passing the --rebuild option to the underlying tools.

@mcgordonite thanks for confirmation and plan for correction - sounds good to me :-)

Closing: the extension now passes --rebuild correctly when running a clean build.
