The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13425 ====================================================================== Reported By: SParis Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 13425 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2012-07-19 07:51 EDT Last Modified: 2012-07-19 07:51 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: source_group displays empty groups (when nesting) Description: Issue applicable for Visual Studio projects.
When using source_group to define nested groups with some files, those groups are displayed even if they do not contain files for a given target. In my case, I have two targets, with source_groups defined for target#1 and containing some files. Those files being referenced as sources for target#1, they are displayed correctly and classified in the good group. But, those files not being part of target#2, the groups are still displayed in the Visual Studio project (but the most nested group). Even if this issue is non-blocking, it is a pain in my case where I classify lots of sources in groups for several targets in the same project. It results with a lot of noisy empty groups in all of my projects. Steps to Reproduce: Just put the following wherever in your CMakeLists.txt, and build using a Visual Studio generator (the files do not have to be referenced). source_group(test FILES test) source_group(test\\test1 FILES test1) source_group(test\\test1\\test2 FILES test2) As a result, you will see the following empty project folders for your target: |-test | |-test1 Additional Information: I assume that there is a bug in the CMake source code when checking if a group must be displayed or not: the group is tested to be empty, but accounting for sub-groups as well without recursing through them to check if themselves are empty as well. That would explain why the hierarchy of empty groups does not display the last empty group (this one not having any file nor sub-group). ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2012-07-19 07:51 SParis New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
