🙏 Help 🙏: Build/Compile not detecting latest changes?

[UrbinCedric]

Hi!

First, love codefori & I am trying to implement it for our team but I have a weird problem where my program is not always compiled with the newest source from the IFS?

I have made a simple test pgm & when i change the text inside messageText, it is not always build/compiled with my latest change.
Files on the IFS always look up to date.

UPDATE: Also checked the source timestamp of the compiled pgm and its shows the timestamp of the old source. Source on the IFS again is up to date. Even after multiple runs, still not detecting the new source version.

**free

ctl-opt dftactgrp(*no);

/copy 'qcpylesrc/srvtest.rpgleinc'
/copy 'qcpylesrc/srvtest2.rpgleinc'

dcl-s messageText char(50);

messageText = 'Hello World' + TEST_C_ABC + 'Test';   // <--- changing this text from Test to Testtttt or whatever doesnt change my output.

DisplayMessage(messageText);
DisplayMessage2(messageText);

*inlr = *on;
return;

I am using "Build current with Source Orbit 🔨"

not always compiled with the newest source from the IFS?

So I am under the impression that you're running Actions on your local workspace. Which deploy option are you selecting? Compare or All?

[worksofliam]

@UrbinCedric Can you try and use the -B (for 'always make') on your gmake command? Though be warned: this will build everything in your make file. You may also want to specify the target when using -B.

/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake -b LIBL=... BIN_LIB...

/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake -b &NAME.PGM LIBL=... BIN_LIB...

@worksofliam Hi! Thanks for that!
Sadly, this somehow breaks even more... Can't get it to work.

Is SO not used that commonly? For me it's currently the only thing that would make sense.
Develop all local, build in own branch library with a simple deploy build system.
And later run a deploy script to production.

Is there a diffrent way to archive that, in case we come to a dead end here :)....

[UrbinCedric]

So, I just switched to BOB, to test how it would react, same thing. Sometimes it recognizes it, sometimes it doesn't. Now I think it has nothing to do with CodeForI or SourceOrbit. Something with make command perhaps and the way the IFS is working on the server....
I am out of ideas 😖

@worksofliam @sebjulliand Found it. It really was the server. The IFS & System timestamp differed by a few minutes. This lead to this strange behavior.

When i first created the PGM it works

• TEST2.PGM -> 2025-01-16 11:40:00
• test2.pgm.rpgle -> uploaded at 11:36:00

So in these 4 minutes it would not compile because the source timestamp was older then the compiled pgm.

What a mess!

Thanks you guys and sorry for waisting your time ❤️

Keep it up

[sebjulliand]

No worries and thanks for letting us know! So it was "working as expected" all along 😁
But indeed, a shift in the timestamps explains everything. Nasty stuff!
