cbuild fails with no RTE folder

[fred-r-perso]

Hi,

I am using this project: https://github.com/fred-r-perso/lwfsm/tree/develop/examples/stm32/cmsis_lwfsm_demo

But cbuild fails:

The problem is that no RTE folder is created, so the config files are not found.

I have to do this:

fredr2010@penguin:~/gh/lwfsm/examples/stm32/cmsis_lwfsm_demo$ csolution convert -s lwfsm_demo.csolution.yml

The above is expected behavior. Here some background:

@fred-r-perso, you are touching on the questions:

• which files of a project are tracked/checked in?
• what is the scope of the "build" step versus the "configuration" step?

As the term build implies, this orchestration tool by default expects a "fully configured" solution as input. Which means it requires that the "configuration" is complete and all files in the RTE folder are present, that required generators have been run and there is no unresolved dependencies.

cbuild invokes csolution with the option --no-update-rte and cbuild invokes cbuildgen without the option --update-rte

In case the build of your solution shall include the update of the RTE directory you may invoke cbuild with the option --update-rte

Hi Joachim, thanks for the explanations, this is clear.

I think it should be added in documentation.
