Error in visual studio when building hise

[pcs800]

@d-healey Well now you know, for the next guy who gets stuck in this loop.
So does this mean I can switch to the latest commit?

You can try it, github says it's not building though. But if it doesn't work, just switch back to the commit that works.

@d-healey Nah, I will stay with this one. It works, and I need to get to work on why I came in here today in the first place.
I appreciate you sticking with me on this David. You're a saint ;-)
Release build successful, BTW

Ok, I opened a project with this new build of hise and when I went to export the plugin, it told me to set the source code path. So I went to Export>export wizard.
Set the path to Documents/Hise
It downloaded, extracted, etc. All was well.
Then I went to export the plugin again and got this

After I clicked ok, I had it build the vst3, which gave a load of errors.
I didn't screenshot them, but I can do it again if you need to see them.

Yeah I hate that wizard, it needs work.

So thanks to it you now have two copies of the HISE source code on your system. Delete the one it downloaded.

Go to HISE preferences and set the HISE path to the version you downloaded earlier.

@d-healey I do not think there are two copies. I told the wizard to use the folder Documents/Hise, which is where I cloned to in the first place.
I'll look around though

Well the error is saying the version of HISE you have doesn't match the version of the source code you're trying to build with. So that probably means it downloaded the develop branch and overwrote the files you already had. - git log to confirm.

Ok, so delete everything, download may 30 and rebuild. Then set the path in settings and throw the wizard out?

[d.healey]

@pcs800 Na just git checkout the commit again and you should be good to go.

@d-healey Oh.... too late. I already deleted and redownloaded, etc. Building again now.
