Source code build issue

Issues

Hello! For some reason I had to delete the .bin file from build_output/release. When I rebuilt, the file didn’t come back. I tried cleaning and deleting the .pio folder, and nothing made it appear.

The solution for that was to modify a .cpp file (add a // on a blank line) and rebuild. Then the .bin file came back.

There may be some improvement that can be made to the last build step of copying the file to build_output/release. Maybe what is needed is the build_output/release/*.bin file should be a build target, that has a build action which is the file copy.

That is not normal behaviour. What command are using to build?

Always had the same issue, the file being copied to build_output only happens when there’s a change, if pio just grabs it from cache because that exact thing has been built earlier it won’t get copied, probably skips the post actions when “nothing” actually needed to be done

Use “Full Clean” from PIO Project Tasks, then delete everything in .builcache folder and compile again.

I don’t have a .buildcache folder.
”Full Clean” didn’t fix the problem.

I found .buildcache in my $HOME. It worked when I deleted it. Thanks!
