Error: no host specified for the following action: Copy directory

[Martin.Dohr]

Hello,

I want to add a post-build step to my embedded VisualGDB msbuild project, that copies a whole folder from one location to another on the same host.

The custom build step looks like the screenshot attached. However, the build returns the error :

“1>VisualGDB: Error: Error: no host specified for the following action: Copy directory T:\FWTrunk\FW_msbuild\FW_msbuild\..\..\doc\SpecificationDocuments on local computer to T:\FWTrunk\FW_msbuild\FW_msbuild\..\..\out\SW_Output\Interface on local computer”

The folders
T:\FWTrunk\out\SW_Output\Interface
and
T:\FWTrunk\doc\SpecificationDocuments
exist in the local file system.

We are currently using VisualGDB 5.3R8

Hi,

Sorry, the “download remote directory” command indeed only works with the remote Linux targets. To copy a local folder, please add a custom command line action (xcopy /E <source directory> <target directory>).
