Incredibuild skips files when it shouldn't be

[MrTAToad]

It appears that Incredibuild seems to skip files that have been (very) recently modified, when it shouldn't be.

It seems to affect all Source files but not the Main Program file.

Please provide a way to reproduce it. I can not confirm this.

[MrTAToad]

What I may have to do is zip up my project for you to muck around with.

[MrTAToad]

The problem is back

It seems to be one file in the 18 source files that causes the problem (its called Game Routine.gbas and is in the middle of the files list).  Even though the file may be modified, Incredibuild still skips it.

When I create a project with 18 files named 1 - 18 I get this after recompiling twice:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

Here I'm missing the files 13-18.gbas. Is this just the output cut down or is it failing something on the 13'th file? They are all empty except for the startingcomments at the moment.

I know this is an old thread, but I seem to be seeing similar issues.. it's giving me headaches when I don't realize that the bugfix I just implemented wasn't actually implemented.. (I keep thinking there's something else I missed or whatever)

I just did some more re-factoring of putting stuff in separate files and notice now that Incredibuild is more than happy to ignore the latest files I've been changing. I haven't noticed it in any specific file, just as I'm working it keeps cropping up and I just keep closing and re-opening the IDE to get it to actually build everything..

[MrTAToad]

Yes, it has been happening a bit more recently for some reason...

[Falstaff]

Yeah I've been splitting certain related pieces of code into separate files as it's being finished, actually to try to take advantage of Incredibuild and just to keep things more organized. Now that I'm up to around 20ish source files in my project, it seems to happen like the majority of the time I build.

I thought I was losing my mind on this one, glad it is not just me.

[Kitty Hello]

if you can somehow make me reproduce this, I would really be glad.
So, when it's not working, try undo to to the last position where you compiled. Will it skip again? Send me both versions. It seems like the changed file has 2 different md5 hash codes, which should not be.

I might add a hidden option to output more details on this to track this bug once.

Are you working on a harddrive or a network drive?

[Moru]

Does it help to toggle the debug button off/on? That usually helps for me but I don't get this problem so often. Mabe because I toggle the debug button very often?

[MrTAToad]

Toggling the debug button forces a complete compile.  When it next happens, I'll send along my project

To twist things even more (as if that was needed) here it seems like the output window lists the file I've modified as skipped, but when executed it is clear that the code changes are there. So maybe it's just an output window problem (here at least)?

[Kitty Hello]

oh, that is a totally new idea to find the bug now.

Did you check the resulting C files in %temp%/glbasic ?
