.out file not building!
 

We have been using windriver fine this whole season, when suddenly, our .out files stopped getting updated. No matter how many times we rebuilt the code, or restarted windriver, they still won't build. Has anybody else had this problem, and how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: .out file not building!
 

have you changed the name of your code

ex. simple_robot -> 2011_team_3038

if so you have to open windriver go to windows on the top menu bar, preferences, first deployment and make sure you file path is directing to the write .out file

Re: .out file not building!
 

no, we haven't changed the name of the code, and the .out file path is correct. When building, it doesn't update the .out file. The only solution we have seen is to restart windriver. The very first day of the build season that solved the problem, and it hasn't come up since. Now it isn't working.

Re: .out file not building!
 

ok... we have found a solution, but uncovered more problems.

first, we build the project. It does not create the .out file.

To solve this, we then rebuild the project (actually using "rebuild") and it then correctly updates the .out file.

When we deploy the code, it appears as if it is being deployed properly. The transferring file bar goes all the way across. There are no errors at this point.

At this point, we reboot the robot. We have tried doing this both via the classmate rebooting the crio, and a manual reboot of the robot by resetting its power.

Then, we reestablish comms with the robot, only to see that the new code is not on the robot.

We have tried re-imaging the robot, and then repeating the above steps, all of them working fine. Now, instead of still having the same old code on the robot, we have no code on the robot. We are unable to get any code onto the robot.

We have tried deploying code from another computer as well, and it didn't solve the problem.

Before re-imaging the crio, we tried undeploying code from the robot, but it would not work.

We are using windriver.

you have to go to preferences and fine the path to your .out file

read this

Re: .out file not building!
 

We said that we did that in our post above. We double checked it, and the path is properly set.


We followed that guide, and everything that it said to do, we have already done and tried multiple times. We have also gone through this and we still haven't come across a solution to our problem.

Re: .out file not building!
 

when you build are you getting any errors?

Re: .out file not building!
 

negative, ghostrider.

Re: .out file not building!
 

ok so you build it and you get no errors right?

so what is the problem?

Re: .out file not building!
 

yes, we get no errors. We don't know what the problem is. We are wondering if somebody does, and can help us resolve it.

Re: .out file not building!
 

can you deploy it to the robot?

Re: .out file not building!
 

yes

Re: .out file not building!
 

so then what is the problem??????

Re: .out file not building!
 

are you changing something in the wpilib that is not changing when you download it to the robot or what is wrong

Re: .out file not building!
 

does that help?
