Projects

Two project formats are supported. For all the formats a single widget is used to display the source files list and the configurations, the project inspector. Project properties are edited in specific widgets.

DUB

Coedit handles DUB projects.

DUB JSON format format is fully supported. DUB SDL format is supported in read-only mode.

The widget used to edit the properties is the DUB project editor.

The option editor exposes a category for DUB. The options specified in this category are applied each time a project is compiled.

CE format

The CE (Coedit) format (previously called native format) is based on DMD command line interface. The widget used to edit the properties is the CE project editor (the format is detailed in this page).

Menu reference

  • "New project": Closes and creates a new project (either with the native format or a DUB project). A warning may be displayed if the current project is not yet saved.
  • "Open project": Opens a project from a dialog.
  • "Open recent": Displays the list of the most recently used projects.
  • "Close project": Closes the current project. A warning may be displayed if the current project is yet not saved.
  • "Save project": Saves the current project.
  • "Save project as": Saves the current project from a dialog.
  • "Add project to group": Adds this project to the project group. See also the page dedicated to the project groups.
  • "Project editor": Displays widget used to edit the project properties,in respect with the format (CE or DUB).
  • "Edit project file": Opens the project file in a new source editor. When saved from a source editor, a project file is directly reloaded.
  • "View project command line": Displays the list of switches and arguments, as they would be passed to the compiler (or the build tool) when compiling.
  • "View in mini explorer": Expands the mini-explorer tree on the folder that contains the project file.
  • "Verify project with Dscanner": Performs some static checks on each source of the project and using Dscanner.
  • "Compile project": Compiles the project using the current configuration.
  • "Compile and run project": Compiles the project using the current configuration and executes the output when the binary produced is executable.
  • "Compile and run project...": Ditto. Before the execution of the binary an input query dialog lets you pass options to the process.
  • "Run project": Executes the project output when the binary produced is executable.
  • "Run project...": Ditto. Before the execution, an input query dialog lets you specify switches and arguments to the process.
  • "Test project": Only for DUB projects. Invoke dub test using the configuration selected in the project inspector.

Other build tools

It's possible to use the custom tools to call other build tools. For example to call make, add a new tool with make as executable and sets the workingDirectory to the folder that contains the makefile. To specify a special target, such as release, add release in the parameters editor. To get make output in the messages, check popUsesPipes in the tool options.
