version (project module)

richardb · Post by **richardb** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 12:38 pm

Hi I’m having some issues with the versioning module, in that it seems to reset back to 0 periodically and the rollover value is also resetting to 9. This wouldn’t be such a big deal but I’m using this to allow the user to see which version he has in case we need to update the firmware.

I’m checking my code into SVN periodically but the resetting doesn’t seem to correspond with this.

Does anyone have any ideas why its doing this? Has anyone else had the same problem ?

Not wishing to resurrect the dead, has anyone else come across this? And if so did you find any kind of work around ?

Version details are held in a *.sfp file. So if your project is called 'myprogram' the file created in your source root is called 'myprogram.sfp'. If this file is deleted, or the IDE cannot access for any reason, then information may be lost.

firstly welcome back and thanks for replying.

i don't open up this file in anything else so i dont know why it sould be blocked, unless svn is doing this but that seems unlikely that i would check in the project while i'm compiling.

Do check this file into SVN along with the other files so from now on i will keep an eye on this file in the future to see if i can work out when it happens.

I'm not able to reproduce the error here - however, looking at the files it seems you are right in that it's getting reset. I'll certainly keep an eye on it and breakpoint the IDE when working on it.

If you can find a way to invoke the problem on demand, then please do let me know...
