Synchronization directories allow you to compile, run, and debug files that are on the
remote server.
This task assumes you have added a remote host. You must connect to the remote
directory using SSH.
Warning: Do not delete the server directory during an operation on the
files.
-
Select and select a remote host from the list.
-
Select the Use synchronization directories radio button.
-
In the Synchronization Directory Table, add a directory.
-
Enter the local directory path, where your source files and project will be
stored.
Note: The local directory must be an absolute path.
-
Enter the remote directory path, which will be synchronized with the local
directory. If you are using this directory for the first time, it should be
empty.
Note: When the remote directory is associated with the local directory, it is
not possible to associate it with another local directory. The association
happens only the first time you synchronize the local directory with the
remote one.
- Optional:
You can exclude some files or directories from being synchronized when
synchronizing back from server to client. Enter a list of file names or file
patterns (for example, *.42m) separated by spaces.
-
Select Apply.
-
Define remote Genero installations, GAS configurations, and environment sets.
When a PM operation (for example, build, run,
debug) is done, Genero Studio checks whether the targeted
files belong to a synchronization directory. If Genero Studio finds a directory
where these files are located, then it synchronizes this directory with the
associated remote directory before executing the operation. When the synchronization
is complete, the remote directory is identical to the local one. A second
synchronization is then performed from server to client; after this, the local
directory is identical to the remote one, except for any files in the exclude
link.
If Genero Studio does not find a directory with these files, an error is thrown and
the PM operation stops.
Note: Directories have a lock mechanism to prevent two instance of Studio to synchronize
them at the same time. Occasionally, the directory can be stuck in a locked state
and no operations can be performed. In this case, select .
