Execute script before and after build

[Canastra]

Hi

I'm new on Zephir and SES.

Is it possible to run a script before and after build in SES?

Thanks for any Idea

I was able to achieve this with SES Nordic Edition V5.50c (installed through the Toolchain Manager NCS v1.6.0):

Another option is to modify the file <sample>/CMakeLists.txt: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49021383

Hi Simon

Thanks for your information.

BreBuild command in SES works fine.

But everytime I add an new file to my project I must generate a new SES Project and then I must add this option again.

With modifing CMakeLists.txt I only get errors.

Is it a requirement for you to use SES? If you build using the command line, you can create a batch script where you can run a python script, west build (to build your project), and a python script again. Then you run the batch script directly to build your project and run the python scripts.

If this isn't sufficient, I will do some more investigation into my previous suggestions.

Hi Simon

I use SES for code editing and debugging.

Other editor are avaliable.

I don't know a other debugger.

You give me a solution to run a script before and after build in SES.

But I must setup the script every time I must regenerate the SES project.

So a simpler soulution is welcome.

Have you gotten any progress with SES?

I got some insight internally how to go about this in cmake.

It is possible to to run a script before the build by adding a dependency to the cmake target that generates the artifact, and after using a POST_BUILD_COMMAND on that target. But there are restrictions in cmake on when you can do that sort of thing, so you’ll need to do some investigation once you have the details on the exact target of interest.

Best regards,
