Undefined reference to setDrawableSize after update to TouchGFX 4.20

[wired]

After updating TouchGFX to 4.20, my auto-generated file for <screen>ViewBase.cpp is resulting in an undefined reference to setDrawableSize:

This is for a scroll list I have on one of my screens. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm wondering if it's a bug. I was previously at 4.18.

Hello @wired​ ,

Did you already try to generate code from TouchGFXDesigner and also from STM32CubeMX (if you are using a TouchGFX Board Setup) ?

Yes. I have tried a multitude of different things trying to find the magic solution. This is undoubtedly tied in with the other problems I have been having with the upgrade of my project to 4.20. I have a case with tech support (00161718). This is the only error showing in the Project Explorer with a red icon, but there are actually over 50 undefined references I do not know how to get rid of.

FYI, in the 4.18 online documentation, setDrawableSize isdeclared a void function. In the 4.20 documentation, it is declared a virtual void function. However, this being an auto-generated call, I would expect that the code generation software would handle it as needed.

In summary of what I did to get to this point: I wanted to update to 4.20 of TouchGFX. This required me to update to CubeMX 6.6.1. Since I was at 1.7.1 of CubeIDE, I updated to 1.10.1, and to 6.61 of CubeMX. The project still built with no errors.

I then updated my TouchGFX GUI from 4.18 to 4.20. I had to change all references to getColorFrom24BitRGB() to getColorFromRGB(), as the former was apparently depracated, but the GUI ran in the simulator.

After generating the code in 4.20, I went back into the IDE and opened CubeMX and forced a code generation by changing something and then changing it back (BW, it's really stupid to have to do this, they should just have a GENERATE CODE button like when you run directly from the desktop).

The only red X icon I get in my project is on the setDrawableSize auto-generated call as shown in the earlier post. However, I get 52 link errors in total, which are listed in the attached log file.

If I can get the answer on how to resolve these errors, I can move on, after three days of messing with this.

Note: one thing I noticed in the online documentation is that in 4.20, setDrawableSize is a public function of the ScrollList class, and is declared as:

virtual void setDrawableSize(int16_tdrawableSize ,int16_tdrawableMargin)

and in 4.18, it is a public function inherited from ScrollBase, and declared as:

void setDrawableSize(int16_t drawableSize, int16_t drawableMargin)

I tried creating a new TouchGFX project based on the STM32F469i-DISCO board. In the description to the right when you select the board, it gives the following information:

Could the fact that I installed CubeMX 6.6.1, and which uses FW_F4 V1.27.1, be causing any issues? Incompatible with the board setup, perhaps?

Problem solved!

For some reason, the project was accumulating library paths from other locations, versions of the project, etc. I went into the Properties of the project, and in the Paths and Symbols I selected the Library Paths tab, and deleted all of the paths except for the first path (a git pat) and the path to my current project. I rebuilt and all 52 errors disappeared. Wh my project accumulated so many paths, I don't know.
