CMakeFileWatcher

Installation

The CMakeFileWatcher is indented to be used with the dotnet tool command.

Steps to install it as local tool in a project:

• If not present create a tool manifest (execute at project root): dotnet new tool-manifest
• Install the tool: dotnet tool install --local Dragonhill.CMakeFileWatcher
• Run the tool: dotnet tool cmake-file-watcher

Configuration

Add a .config/cmake-file-watcher-config.yaml file to your project (the .config folder has to be in a common root directory for all watched paths).

Example

Config file: .config/cmakeFileWatcherConfig.yaml

  - path: subdirectory-a
    generatedFilePath: subdirectory-a/list.cmake
    patternGroups:
      - extensions: [cpp, h]
        listName: dep_list
      - extensions: [po]
        listName: translation_list
