greed.conf folder location

Hello!

First and foremost: thanks for the wonderful tool! This has definitely made my TopCoder experience exponentially better.

I am on a win7 x64 system using VS 2012. I cannot access the greed.conf file because the configuration directory is assigned with the Linux style folder structure ("/") as opposed to windows ("\") . This is a slightly modified message from the TopCoder applet:

Reloading your configuration from "...\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\TopCoder/greed.conf"

Because of that I'm not able to customize. Other than that it seems to work like a charm. Thanks again!

Hi @StrappingLad, thank you for your attention.

I'm not sure that's the problem, the log you saw is a mistake while printing

     this.say("Reloading your configuration from \"" + Configuration.getWorkspace() + "/greed.conf\"");

When locating your greed.conf, no platform-specific features are used.

Could you describe in detail how the customization does not work, including what you are trying to customize and so on.

Thanks.

Hello @shivawu,

Thank you for the clarification. From my understanding of your documentation, the greed.conf file would be under my workspace root. I don't see any such file at that location.

I would like to modify the location of my source folders, use a different unit test with my IDE, and make some modifications to the template.

Thanks a lot!

OK, I know. Maybe the doc is not clear enough, in order to customize Greed, you need to create a greed.conf under your workspace, and use your custom settings to override the default settings.

For example, if you want a different source location, write

greed.codeRoot = "./Code"

or something like that

Got it! Yes, I misunderstood you. I thought there was a configuration file added to the project that could be modified. Thanks for the clarification!

You're very welcome!
