Changes to library not reflected in SimpleIDE

tj4shee

Having a very odd problem.... I have created several libraries under SimpleIDE... All was working fine..... Until....

I made some changes to a couple of procedures saved them and recompiled them as libraries.

But the changes I made are not seen by SimpleIDE ! Is it caching data ? If so, where do I delete the cache ?

It's odd because when I goto re-add the library (on my Mac) I can actually see the updated procedures if my finder window....

So I went and did a Copy File to my project.... Added the .c and .h files from the library. Again, I see the updated files in finder quick view... And add them... But when I open them in SimpleIDE I am seeing the old files....

So where is the cache and how do I delete it without creating problems ?

Thanks TJ

It is possible for folders with duplicate content to be selected by the SimpleIDE librarian.

For example there once was a folder Documents/SimpleIDE/Learn/Simple Libraries/Text Devices .
That has been superseded by Documents/SimpleIDE/Learn/Simple Libraries/TextDevices ... no space in last part of the path.

The funny thing is that the SimpleIDE librarian can choose "Text Devices" instead of "TextDevices" because of computer rules.
This has caused some grief in the past because "Text Devices" is deprecated.

Another possible example is local libraries in a project folder can take priority over Documents/SimpleIDE/Learn/Simple Libraries folders.

Page 22 of the current user guide starts the section on creating simple libraries and practical concerns. This is also covered in a tutorial.

Hope this helps.

That was the answer ! Thanks ! I had started the library as part of a prior project.... so I had like named .c/.h files still in that folder.... deleted them and Eureka ! things are like I expect. I've been programming for 40 years.... you'd think I would have picked up on the local folder thing. Back to the basics....
