Hi,

Though I'm learning and using UPP for about an year, this is my first message to this forum. Before stating the issue, I take this opportunity to thank all contributors for making it such a great tool.

Now the issue being faced:
I have created few custom assemblies (other than the default MyApps) for keeping packages being developed. All my packages are based on CtrlLib. Now, when I keep a package in any custom assembly, In the 'Help & Topics' available as UPP tab, CtrlLib is missing from the used packages. However this issue is not there for packages in MyApps assembly. This is true even for new packages created in those assemblies. The images shows 2 such new packages: in MyApps on the left and in custom assembly on the right.

index.php?t=getfile&id=5773&private=0

If anyone knows any workaround to solve this, please advise.

Thanks and regards,
Pradip

Hello,

It seems that it is TheIDE bug that doesn't look for package dependency and display only the package that was originally included. I create redmine ticket for that issue.https://www.ultimatepp.org/redmine/issues/1937.

This task is has not big priority for us. So, if you want to fix that issue you can do it by compiling TheIDE by your own and change their code. It is not too hard - just open ide package from uppsrc and compile as regular project.The good place for start searching for the problem is Help.cpp file from theide package.

Sincerely and thanks for reporting problem,
Klugier

Weird. Is this 'normal' CtrlLib?

Would it be possible to post here test.upp (from test folder) and .var files (from theide folder)?

Is test the only package of yours?

Dear Klugier,

Thanks for creating the ticket.

I'm not confident yet to tweak with the uppsrc source Laughing

Of course I want to try that in future.

Thanks and regards,
Pradip

Dear Mirek,

It is the usual CtrlLib. All I'm doing is:
Start IDE; Select my custom assembly (see picture); Start New Package; Select CtrlLib application with main window and give name 'test', and create.

index.php?t=getfile&id=5776&private=0

As usual, CtrlLib is missing from the help window. But if I do the same in MyApps, CtrlLib appears. It seems the problem is only with CtrlLib, all other packages seem to be fine.

I'm posting test.upp and 2 var files for my 2 custom assemblies in following messages (maximum files per message allowable is 1).

Of course not, I have other packages in those assemblies. In fact I have noticed this issue while working with those packages, and then I have created the test package to check if the issue appears for brand new packages. All packages in MyApps work fine, while for all packages in custom assemblies, help doesn't include CtrlLib.

Thanks and regards,
Pradip

Hi, I just got back to this, but I cannot reproduce it with current trunk (following steps laid out here).

If you have a bit of time, could you please retry with latest nightly build?

Thank you,

Mirek

Hello Mirek! Thanks for getting back!

Today I'll try to reproduce it. Trying first with stable release 13664. In any case, in version 11873 (with which I was working so far, it's very much present.

Thanks and regards,
Pradip

Hi Mirek,

Solved, however it was weird enough Shocked

! Found few 'empty folders' with names of used packages (like CtrlLib) in the first nest of the assembly, not sure how those folders were getting created though! Removing those folders solved everything, got all those help back!

With this you may consider closing the ticket raised earlier.

Thank you very much,
Pradip

I think this could have happened if you had wrongly setup assembly, like remove "uppsrc" from MyApps assembly.

Hi,

I have actually seen this behavior for some years now and wondered if anybody else experiences the same problem accessing help. Never took the time to ask... Well, as it turned out, I also had an empty 'Core' directory in my private nest breaking help.

Anyway, thanks a lot for solving it! Smile
