File order oddity |

Matthew Jones | Not sure there is anything really to do here, but it confused me for a
while, so I am mentioning it to help others (and me in the future when I forget about it!). I have a project that has been solid for a while, but it wouldn't compile today, complaining about a missing property in TParser. Thing is, the property is in a custom version of the webcore unit, which is referenced in the compilation paths for the project. So why didn't it find it? Indeed, it had just compiled in the command line version. And it compiles okay in another project! So for some reason, the IDE was not finding my custom version. And then I saw that I had webcore open as one of the files in the IDE. The master one, not mine. So the IDE compiler is looking for the file to compile and seeing a match in the open files, and using that, not noting that it isn't the first in the path and therefore not the one that should be in use. Close the file, and my project compiles again. Like I say, I'm not sure this is a bad thing - why would you have the wrong one open? It would be painful to have to search the path every time when the file is just there for goodness sake! On the other hand, I might have a file open and be editing it, and then when it is closed the project completely ignores the changes. So I'd load it up again, and it would see the changes again. Close, gone! Perhaps though, some sort of warning might be possible, if efficient. Not the biggest thing to worry about, which is why just being aware of this might be enough, and hence my post. -- Matthew Jones |
