Launch Configuration is saved in the Workspace and not in the project (IEP-456)

Open icodk opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I recently cloned a project from github, and found out that my Launch configuration changes are left behind in the original location of the project and the original Workspace but not as part of the project that I pushed to github This is probably an architectural decision, which in my opinion is wrong because Launch Configuration has nothing to do with the workspace and everything to do with a project. The exact location is a file named: project_name.launch located in : \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches I hope there is a way to change it. STM32CubeIDE is also an eclipse based IDE, where the launch configuration is saved as a file in the project root, makes it easier to keep the project self contained without bloating it with workspace .metadata which can be common for different unrelated projects

In the launch configuration, have you tried changing the Common > 'Save as' setting to 'Shared file' instead of 'Local file'?
