Cannot add user constraints

Closed this issue · 5 comments

When I attempt to add a user constraint to a project using the New Constraint... option, I get an error stating that the creation of the User Constraint file failed.

Can you explain a bit more? What board is the project set to? I assume you are talking about the new file dialog?

Steps to reproduce:

  • New Project (Workspace is default Documents\alchitry, Board is Alchitry Au, Language is Lucid, From Example is Base Project)
  • Right Click Constraints Drop down
  • Select New Constraint...
  • Select User Constraint (This adds .acf as file extension)
  • Name the file
  • Select Create File
  • Error Occurs -> Could not create constraint file!

That is about all the information that I can provide as I have never been able to properly create these files. I have created them in the Alchitry Labs directory structure and added them to lib.xml successfully, but never gotten them added to the Constraints section.

What operating system are you on? Do you see anything relevant in the log file (usually in the same directory as the executable)? Do you have write permissions for that folder?

Also just thought of this, is there a constraints folder in the project directory?

Version 1.0.3 fixes this bug. It was caused by the Windows installer ignoring the empty constraint directory in the project templates. The fix was to create the directory if needed.
