Royally new to Eclipse and Java on an FRC bot. On the laptop that I’m using to try to deploy, the Build progress (compile, find roboRIO, and such) is not showing in the console to help me figure out why the deploy isn’t working. This is what I am getting:
Is there a setting that this Eclipse install is missing? I don’t have the problem on my desktop, and both were installed 2 days ago and as far as I can tell, no difference between them when I did it. Both Win 10.
After setting up your new laptop with Eclipse and the WPI lib plugins, did you try creating a brand new Robot project?
For us, we always need to create a brand new robot project to finish the Eclipse set up on a new development machine (we name the new project trash and then immediately delete it). If we fail to do this step and try to git clone, copy or import an existing robot project into the new development machine things don’t work correctly.
Yeah, I did create a new project. The code is so simple and short that it is just easier to copy the text from one machine and paste it into the project window in the other, in this case the example Getting Started template was the one used on both.
We accomplished what we needed to, namely getting the climber to be autonomous once the driver acquires the rope on the winch drum. Works a treat. I just wish I could actually see the why the transfer to the robot is failing using the Run from Eclipse. Manually SFTP works well enough and is pretty quick even if you don’t already have the SFTP program open in both folders ready to upload.
When I get back from FTA’ing the Arizona North Regional this weekend (Hi everyone attending!), I will try your suggestion though. It might just be that easy.
I heard of team that had this issue on a specific project, but not on new projects. Sounds like one of the project files got corrupted. They copied their code to a new project and it worked.
