Solution Explorer Collapse

[aronrubin]

It seems the solution explorer collapses every time I rebuild a VisualGDB CMake project. Sometimes the the tree is collapsed on a configure as well. This is not critical but it sure is a pain to expand the tree back to subfolders every time.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

This would happen if VisualGDB could not display the normal project structure queried from CMake (normally it is cached and should not be lost).

Would it be possible for you to create a quick video of this? If we could see the exact timing of the problem and the exact icons shown in Solution Explorer, we should be able to tell what is going on.

In this video I removed a line from a cpp file and saved.

I had to be real fast to be under the upload limit.

Sorry it appears the mp4 video didn’t record correctly

Hi,

Thanks for the video. It looks like when CMake updates the target list, the targets are reported in a different order (FaceServiceTest.exe gets in front of libFaceService.a) and hence the ‘expanded’ flag isn’t preserved properly. As a workaround, please set the “Sort targets by name” option via VS Project Properties (not VisualGDB Project Properties) -> Project Items->Sorting/Grouping.

Thank you. That seems to have worked.
