usage from command line broken

[milianw]

I'm trying to use MTuner from the command line and it doesn't seem to be doing anything:

No error is being reported, but also no data file gets recorded as far as I can see. Please make this easier to use from the command line:

• show an error if something fails
• show where the data got recorded to

Thanks

Are you sure it's "broken" ? Showing where it's recorded makes sense, I'll add that...

But do check here: C:\Users[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\MTuner

[milianw]

Yes, I'm sure it is broken. I just downloaded the last release and this is the behavior I'm seeing:

λ MTuner -p dir
Copyright (c) 2017 by Milos Tosic. All rights reserved.

Capture location: C:\Users\milian\AppData\Roaming\MTuner\

λ ls  C:\Users\milian\AppData\Roaming\MTuner\

I.e. the folder is empty. Also when I try to pass -o foo that file is not being generated.

[milianw]

In procmon I see this, which is also suspicious:

Process Create "C:\tools\MTuner\MTunerInject32.exe" #23#debug\lab_memory.exe#23# #23##23# #23#debug\#23#

This should be MTunerInject64.exe.

Furthermore, I then see this down the list:

CreateFile C:\Qt\src\training-material\addon\profiling\lab_memory\src\build-dbg\debug\debug\lab_memory.exe PATH NOT FOUND

This has the \debug part twice in the path...

Thanks for taking the time to check it, I'll get this fixed as soon as I'm done with another issue.

[milianw]

Thanks. And take your time, no need to hurry. Especially considering there exists a workaround, by configuring the executable as a Project in MTuner and launching it from there.

[milostosic]

I just uploaded a new release that includes a fix for command line argument forwarding.
