CodeLite IDE

I am using v4.1.5570 under Windows 7. I have External Tools set up as follows:

Tool path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe
Working directory: $(CurrentFilePath)
Arguments: $(CurrentFileFullPath)

The output from running tools is below; the macro substitution is not performed.

Current working directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite
Running program: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Beyond Compare 3\BCompare.exe" $(CurrentFileFullPath)
Program exited with return code: 0

Same version here (CL 4.1.5770 and Win 7),
and it works...
and when no tab is selected, $(CurrentFileFullPath) is correctly replaced by empty string.

Do you have something in the Value Column when you click on 'Help...' button in the configure tool popup ?
Note that you should have a opened file to see the 'Value column' (in addition of macro and description columns) :/.


Note: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite is not a good place to put project.
this Path may have specific windows permissions and has a space (which is not fully supported by all tools :-/).

I did not have a workspace opened. When I open a workspace, it works correctly. After I close the workspace, macro substitution does not occurs. I will now use only when I have a workspace. My workspace and projects are not located in C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite.

I did not find a Value Column on 'Help...' button in the configure tool popup. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place; I looked at Plugins -> External Tools -> Configure external tools -> Edit -> Help.

I succeeded to reproduce your case.

Without workspace, There is no substitution at all.
