KeyError with solution generated by premake. (Premake bug?)

[SupremeDeity]

I am working on a Windows 10, VS2019, C++ Project.

The Solution Has 2 Projects PersonalCUtils and TestUtil. PersonalCUtil is a StaticLibrary (.lib) and TestUtil is ConsoleApp(.exe). i create my solution and project files with the premake5.lua attached.

premake5.txt

When i run cmake-converter -s PersonalCUtils.sln. I get this:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

There is this weird KeyError Message at the end aswell. if i remove the Release Configuration, it starts to give me error on the debug on. vice versa with the platform. Also it only creates a CMakeLists.txt for the TestUtil(exe) and not one for the PersonalCUtil(lib) or the root directory.

The cause might be related to:

1. Vs2019 format. I tested widely only with 2017.
2. Mapping of configurations is wrong. Check configs of sln and vcxproj files.

Try to look at warnings, and increase warning level.

If no solution - provide an example to me for reproducing on my side.

[SupremeDeity]

unfortunately i dont have vs2017 anymore.

This seems to be a problem of me using premake to create solution files ( because that is what i used first.)

This is the repo:
Repo
this contains premake5.lua to create the project, but i guess i either only use premake or cmake next time.

Your link is broken.

I'm not going to support custom generators of solution. Likely it's missing some info. You can investigate with native vs2019 by yourself, otherwise I'll close this issue as invalid.

[SupremeDeity]

I forgot the repository was private. I have checked and this indeed seems like a issue related with premake's solution file generation so i will close this issue.

@SupremeDeity, check fix from last develop, please
