IncludePath bug (pb 4.10 b2)

This has been present in the compiler since the 3.xx release and I reported it then and it's still the same. Thought I'd better remind someone after all these years:D

From the PB manual comes this example.

IncludePath "Sources\Data"
IncludeFile "Sprite.pb"
XIncludeFile "Music.pb"

When I do this:

IncludePath "Modules"
XIncludeFile "_BakkerToolTips.pbi"

When I double click on "_BakkerToolTips.pbi" this module to load it, it doesn't load and I have to go back to using manual, relative reference.

If I do this "Modules\_BakkerToolTips.pbi" and double click on the module, it loads just fine.

I think that the IDE isn't parsing the source... so how should the path known by the IDE when clicking on a include line containing only the filename ? The IDE then took a look in the actual path of the source...but there is no file found = no file opened....

How would you like the IDE to handle things like this?

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Unicode
  IncludePath "unicode"
CompilerEndIf
IncludeFile "hello.pb"

This is a bug report to the pb team who will understand the question as it's their product and I am getting a little tired of people hijaacking bug reports.

If you don't work for the pb team, kindly refrain from replying.

Walker is right, the IDE doesn't parse the source so it can't know you have added a relative path somewhere. It's a limitation for sure, but it can't be overcome easily.
