Add "Update RTE config files" to IDE #78

Open ReinhardKeil opened 3 weeks ago

ReinhardKeil commented 3 weeks ago

In v1.40 the behavior of the IDE changed, as cbuild with option --update-rte is only used when csolution project files are modified. This change ensures that files are modified when a project is just viewed (and IMHO correct behavior).

Unfortunately many examples do not ship with the RTE directory content as recommended under reproduceable builds. The consequence is that the tool reports that the option --update-rte should be used, but in the IDE there is no easy way to apply it.

Proposal Add a command "Update RTE config files" to this menu: image

It should call cbuild setup with option --update-rte in the same way as when project files are modified.

Note: "Refresh" probably should be named "Reload", but this command is a manual trigger for: a) cmsis-core-tools re-read of pdsc files - e.g. after installing new packs b) cbuild setup ... --context-set --update-rte [--packs] Is it worth having a separate command to just run b) independently?

I like that. We could name it "Reload packs and update RTE"
