Infinite loading when generating code

[Priyank]

Hi, when I click generate code, sometimes it gets into a loop of just loading, I've attached a screenshot. When I click generate code again, it usually builds, but it does this quite often.

Hello @Priyank ,

Can you tell us what software version you are using and what hardware you are using?

Could you also share a full screenshot of the debug information because to me it looks like it is stuck in writing to the .cproject file, not to loading to the board.

Also, is there some specific case where the infinite loop happens?
Did it happen after you changed something?

Hi, my touchgfx is running 4.24.1, this started relatively recently, however I'm not sure what caused it. It happens just about every other time I generate code. The board is a STM32F7xxx.

Here is my debug when generating code:

Generate Code
    Generate
        Done
    Generate Assets
        make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile assets -j8
        Reading ./application.config
        Reading ./target.config
        Done
    Post Generate
        touchgfx update_project --project-file=simulator/msvs/Application.vcxproj
        Done
    Post Generate Target
        touchgfx update_project
        .cproject file: ../STM32CubeIDE/.cproject
        Writing STM32CubeIDE project file: ../STM32CubeIDE/.project
        Writing STM32CubeIDE project file: ../STM32CubeIDE/.cproject
        Done
    Done     

The main difference between yours and mine is that I am writing on the .project before writing on the .cproject.

Do you have a .project in the same folder as your .cproject?

It looks like the Post generate asset gets done.
When you have the infinite message at the bottom, are you able to do something else or is the Designer blocked? Is the .cproject working? Is the generated code in GUI fine? How is it blocking your development workflow?

Yes, I have a .project and .cproject in the same folder. When I get the infinite message, I am able to continue using the application. The generated code and everything else works fine. There is no development block with this, however it makes me click generate again, and the generations take some time (about 15 seconds)

Hello @Priyank ,

I have not seen this issue previously.
Could you upgrade to 4.25.0.
If you stay on 4.24.1 I will not be able to push your issue for a fix.

Can you share your full project so I can try it on my PC to see if this is project related or hardware related.

Regards,
