Process properties missing when generating tcl script

When I run Project=>Generate Tcl Script... , the generated Tcl script does not contain any of the process properties for my project even though I select the "All properties with complete script" option. The generated script was correct earlier, but now the process properties are always missing (everything else is still correct).

 

I was originally working with ISE 13.1 when the problem occurred. I rebooted the PC and the problem remained. I upgraded to ISE 13.4 and the problem is still there. What else should I try?

 

I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit.

Re: Process properties missing when generating tcl script

Check to see if it happens for all projects or just the one.

If just for the one project, try doing a copy project and generating the script for the new project.

Re: Process properties missing when generating tcl script

Have you found a solution for this?  I am seeing the same thing with ISE 14.1.

[ Edited ]

I found the cause of the bug. The 'Generate Tcl Script...' doesn't support the bus delimiter setting '{}' (in Synthesis options). When I change the bus delimiter setting to '<>' the process properties section in the generated tcl script lists the project settings as expected.

 

This was reproducable in with different projects in ISE 13.3 and 14.1 and on both Windows and Linux.  So, it must be a bug in the program that generates the tcl script.

Re: Process properties missing when generating tcl script

Hello Howard

 

I have the same problem as devb, being the process properties not being included in the tcl script

 

Currently we are porting our running project to an automated build enviroment using the tcl script.

- we are working on ISE 14.2 (we cannot upgrade as we need the safety certified version)

- we are running on WIN7 x64 (we have it on 3 different machines)

- we are using the spartan 6 series (different types)

- we have the issue on all current projects (3)

- creating a new project with the default settings doesn't solve it

- I tried every kind of delimiter as suggested by andrewjcart

- I tried both storing all properties or only the once being changed

- I did get it to work for a old  ISE 13.3 project (mitigating it to 14.2) that is using a spartan 3

 

Regards
