Code Completion in Workspace File
Posted: Sat May 09, 2015 6:40 am
Hi Eranif
At the moment I am developing a CodeLite Project File Generator for Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) on GNU/Linux. Thx btw for the clean XML workspace/project file structure. CodeLite is quite impressive and I am using it for a long time already.
Now I am at a point where I have some sort of challenge. UE4 is a really gigantic project and so it is it's number of folders for the "intellisense/code completion" . At the moment I can put the code completion into the configurations section in the projects XML file. UE4 has at least 5 configurations and a lot projects so everything gets really extreme huge. For example UE4Editor project for CodeLite get's around 130mb with all the configurations and code completion. Without that code completion folders it works pretty good so far. Here my humble vid how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UchwVrdzqk.
Now my question is, I found that there is a code completion section in the Workspace. First I thought yeah that is cool. I can specify those code completion folder once per workspace which would make it totally work but I had to find out that the content is not stored in the *.workspace file. It's somewhere in the .codelite/UE4.workspace.username. That makes it almost impossible to write the code generator because that folder is make by CodeLite itself. I wished I could put those folders into the *.workspace file so to have more control what goes into the workspace/projects.
Maybe I am wrong then I would like to know if there is a way to move the code completion part into the *.workspace file? If not, can I convince you to think about it to move it into the *.workspace file? The only workaround would be to paste those folders manually in CodeLite itself which would be not so nice. (And I know that CodeLite can parse the whole workspace to get code completion but I like to put only projects that is relevant to the Game without including UE4Editor/UE4Game etc.. seen in the vid)

. I made the feature request. What do you think? Is it possible to get that in the next release of CodeLite
