How can I exclude a file from the .extsettings?

[Jansunil]

Hello Team,

I am trying to use the .extsettings to handle my project structure in the stm32cubeIDE. I want to exclude a particular file from the list of source files that I have in my directory. However, I did not find any solution for this in the user maual - https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/um1718-stm32cubemx-for-stm32-configuration-and-initialization-c-code-generation-stmicroelectronics.pdf

Following is my folder structure:

The .ioc and the .extsettings are placed in the directory where the "Application" folder is present.

Out of which, I want to exclude file_2.c and file_2.h from the "Application" folder via the .extsettings. I am looking at a solution which does not expect one to change the state of the "Exclude resource from build" via the cubeIDE as I am trying to control this information via the .extsettings itself.

Any Leads on this would really be of help.

Thank you,

Janani

AFAIK, the .extsettings file has no provisions for your need. But you can use post-generation script which exists in recent versions of CubeMX to "fix" the generated project.
