Command to get path to the built executable #39

Hi,

CMake Tools extension provide a command to retrieve the path to the executable: ${command:cmake.launchTargetPath} It would be great to have a similar feature for this IAR extension, as it helps to create generic launch configurations, shared among teams.

Thanks a lot !

Hi! What executable are you trying to find the path to? If it is an executable in the Embedded Workbench installation directory, we provide the ${command:iar-config.toolchain} command which resolves to the selected Embedded Workbench or Build Tools installation.

For example: ${command:iar-config.toolchain}/common/bin/iarbuild.exe gives you the iarbuild executable, and ${command:iar-config.toolchain}/arm/bin/iccarm.exe gives you the Arm compiler.

Hi ! No, I meant the output executable from the build. The idea is to have a command that returns the absolute path to the .out of the currently loaded ewp, this way we can have generic launch configuration shared among teams.

I see. For various reasons this is a bit complicated (but not impossible) to implement. If you haven't changed the output path from the default, you can get the path to the .out file like this: ${command:iar-config.project-file}/../${command:iar-config.project-configuration}/Exe/${command:iar-config.project-name}.out

Would that work for you?
