🐞 Hotfix Information - `.conf/.template` not found - VS Code Torizon IDE Extension

News Announcements
1

We recently released a version that fixes an issue where the .conf/.template file of a project created by the extension was wrongly deleted. The fix, however, only covers projects created with versions v2.4.1 and greater, which means a manual fix is required for existing projects created with versions under v2.4.1.

Already Created Projects Hotfix Instructions

This file is used by the update system to store the folder name of the template that was used to create the project. And it’s created and populated during the project creation only. So, if you get some log like this when trying to update the project:

Get-Content: /home/user/Toradex/IDE_projects/TestMonoProject/.conf/projectUpdater.ps1:69:17
Line |
  69 |  $templateName = Get-Content $projectFolder/.conf/.template
     |                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Cannot find path '/home/user/Toradex/IDE_projects/TestMonoProject/.conf/.template' because it does not exist.

 *  The terminal process "pwsh '-nop', '/home/user/Toradex/IDE_projects/TestMonoProject/.conf/projectUpdater.ps1', '/home/user/Toradex/IDE_projects/TestMonoProject', 'TestMonoProject', '0'" terminated with exit code: 1. 
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

It means that you are affected by the issue.

To solve it, create a new .template file inside the .conf/ folder from your project. This is a text file that contains exactly the folder name of the template used to create the project. Follow the table to check the name that you should use:
