Bug ID: 361805
Summary: cmake project manager should call cmake without any
arguments on imported pre-existing build directories
(and maybe not auto-call at all)
Product: kdevelop
Version: git master
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Build tools: CMake
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
The CMake project manager can import pre-existing/configured build directories.
It will then disable the fields of the wizard that would otherwise allow to
specific the install prefix, build type and other, additional cmake arguments.
That is fine, but at least the build type remains set and is given to cmake if
that command is executed automatically. That is not necessary in the best case
and should not happen in the worst case (when the build is under control of an
external configure/build system and the IDE is only used for navigating and
editing the source).
It should also be possible to select an environment profile in the importer
wizard.
Ensuring that the external configure system generates and maintains a
compile_commands.json file will limit automatic invocation of cmake, but
apparently not eliminated it completely. There should probably be a control for
disabling that feature so that the user can decide is s/he prefers to work with
potentially out-of-date project information in the IDE or have an IDE with
up-to-date information on a potentially misconfigured project. There could be a
visual indication when the project information is supposedly out of date,
though.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare a cmake-based project with a pre-configured build directory
2. Import a new project in KDevelop; select the project's CMakeLists.txt file
3. Point the importer wizard to the pre-configured build directory without
touching any of the other fields
Actual Results:
Under certain conditions cmake will be called with at least KDevelop's default
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE passed as an argument
Expected Results:
If cmake is called at all it in this kind of scenario, should be called without
arguments, and with the appropriate environment (if that is not the current
environment).
