I can't customize my cmakeprests.json!

aiyolo commented 2 weeks ago

The only thing I do is to add a cmake_toolchain_file in the cmakepresets.json generated by this extension, after I reconfigure project, this line is removed!

{
  "version": 3,
  "configurePresets": [
    {
      "hidden": true,
      "name": "Qt",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH": "$env{QTDIR}",
        "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
      },
      "vendor": {
        "qt-project.org/Qt": {
          "checksum": "wVa86FgEkvdCTVp1/nxvrkaemJc="
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "vendor": {
    "qt-project.org/Presets": {
      "checksum": "67SmY24ZeVbebyKD0fGfIzb/bGI="
    }
  }
}

Thank you very much for reporting this issue; it has been recorded in our public bug tracker, where all further updates will be shared: Cannot customize cmakeprests.json. (issue #38)

Hi. After reviewing your request we came to the conclusion that the behavior is correct. The preset is checksum'ed and therefor any additional entries added get reverted/removed on reconfigure. We do this to make sure our preset is in a well defined state. If you want to add the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE, you have a couple of options:

Add the entry into the CMakeUserPresets.json:

{
  "version": 3,
  "configurePresets": [
    {
      "name": "Debug-x64",
      "displayName": "Debug (x64)",
      "binaryDir": "\${sourceDir}/out/build",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Debug",
        "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "\$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
      },
      "inherits": [
        "Qt-Default"
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "Release-x64",
      "displayName": "Release (x64)",
      "binaryDir": "\${sourceDir}/out/build",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Release",
        "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "\$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
      },
      "inherits": [
        "Qt-Default"
      ]
    },
    ... more code omitted here ...
}

If you need to share or commit your entry, you can also add an additional preset to the CMakePresets.json:

{
  "version": 3,
  "configurePresets": [
    {
      "hidden": true,
      "name": "Qt",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH": "$env{QTDIR}"
      },
      "vendor": {
        "qt-project.org/Qt": {
          "checksum": "wVa86FgEkvdCTVp1/nxvrkaemJc="
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "hidden": true,
      "name": "Toolchain",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
      }
    }
  ],
  "vendor": {
    "qt-project.org/Presets": {
      "checksum": "67SmY24ZeVbebyKD0fGfIzb/bGI="
    }
  }
}

and inherit the preset in your CMakeUserPresets.json:

{
  "version": 3,
  "configurePresets": [
    {
      "name": "Debug-x64",
      "displayName": "Debug (x64)",
      "binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/out/build",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Debug"
      },
      "inherits": [
        "Qt-Default",
        "Toolchain"
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "Release-x64",
      "displayName": "Release (x64)",
      "binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/out/build",
      "cacheVariables": {
        "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Release"
      },
      "inherits": [
        "Qt-Default",
        "Toolchain"
      ]
    },
    ... more code omitted here ...
}
