generate xref files

[sbjqad]

How can I generate Xref files ? I thried this :

"buildPath": [
  // Entries can have type 'source' or 'propath'. Path attribute is mandatory. Build attribute is optional (defaults to 'path'). Xref attribute is optional (defaults to 'build/.pct' or '.builder/srcX')

  //***APP-SOURCE-ENTRIES-BEGIN***
{ "type": "source", "path": "/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/srcgitprojects/performance_lib/src", "Xref":"/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/xref" },
{ "type": "source", "path": "/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/srcgitprojects/qtools_lib/src", "Xref":"/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/xref" },
{ "type": "source", "path": "/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/srcgitprojects/po-receipt-aerpdev/src", "Xref":"/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/xref" },

and this :

"buildPath": [
  // Entries can have type 'source' or 'propath'. Path attribute is mandatory. Build attribute is optional (defaults to 'path'). Xref attribute is optional (defaults to 'build/.pct' or '.builder/srcX')

  //***APP-SOURCE-ENTRIES-BEGIN***
{ "type": "source", "path": "/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/srcgitprojects/performance_lib/src", "XrefDir":"/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/xref" },
{ "type": "source", "path": "/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/srcgitprojects/qtools_lib/src", "xrefDir":"/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/xref" },
{ "type": "source", "path": "/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/srcgitprojects/po-receipt-aerpdev/src", "xrefDir":"/dr01/projects/po-receipt-aerpdevenv/xref" },

Source entries must be subdirectories of the current folder, so it's not recommended to use absolute paths. At startup, the language server will show the list of source directories, along with PCT directory (where xref files are generated):

[2025-12-10T11:17:58,561] [INFO] [Test Project] Source directory c:\Users\GillesQUERRET\projets\sonaroe-oe128\src\main\abl
[2025-12-10T11:17:58,561] [INFO] [Test Project]   --> Build into c:\Users\GillesQUERRET\projets\sonaroe-oe128\target\build
[2025-12-10T11:17:58,562] [INFO] [Test Project]   --> PCT dir    c:\Users\GillesQUERRET\projets\sonaroe-oe128\.builder\.pct0

Ok, the path is a subdirectory but indeed an absolute path at the moment. I'll change it in a relative path and see if the xrefDir attribute works then.
Thanks.

I have this now :

{ "type": "source", "path": "srcgitprojects/performance_lib/src", "Xref":"xref" },

I also tried this :

{ "type": "source", "path": "srcgitprojects/performance_lib/src", "xrefDir":"xref" },

but xref files are still under .builder/.pct...

Attributes are case-sensitive, you should use "xref": "dir_name"

Code completion is available when editing the file in VS Code

Yes, it works now and I see the code completion indeed. I was a bit mislead by the comment in the file :
// Entries can have type 'source' or 'propath'. Path attribute is mandatory. Build attribute is optional (defaults to 'path'). Xref attribute is optional (defaults to 'build/.pct' or '.builder/srcX')
// Source directories must be subdirectories of the project root directory. Relative paths are highly recommended.

It has Xref with a capital X probably because it's the beginning of a sentence.

It works now. Thank you !
