如何使用Tizen Studio将.tproject中的文件列入黑名单

Question

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am doing here.

I was given a project with a large .tproject file (7956 lines). This is because it is blacklisting numerous files that shouldn't build. It's mostly node_modules. Each file in a module is blacklisted.

Making sure I have installed the node packages, I have followed these steps:

• Remove blacklist node from .tproject
• Open Tizen Sudio (2.3) on Windows 10
• File > Open Projects from File System
• Show other specialized import wizards
• Tizen > Tizen Project
• Browse root directory location
• Profile > tv
• Finish (project is created but modal hasn't closed)

I get this message:

   Resource '/project' already exists

and then:

    Errors occurred during the build.
    Errors running builder 'Tizen Web Builder' on project 'DStv Now'.
    java.lang.NullPointerException

What I want to know:

• To get the NullPointerException, my project is definitely missing something in order to get setup. Any ideas what could be missing?
• How do I import the project as a Tizen TV application?
• How is the .tproject file created?
• Is it a suitable file to add to .gitignore? It looks auto generated.
• If not, is there a way to use regex to blacklist files instead of listing them one by one?

Answer 1

What I know about .tproject is, It holds Project template Information. Like : tv-samsung-3.0, wearable-2.3.2. This will change only when the developer changes the template for some reason (Suppose update app for new tizen version).

About Importing Tizen TV Project->

Tizen-Studio > File > Import > Tizen > Tizen Project > Root Directory > Select Specific Project Folder

If every-thing's okay till now you would see a project on Project list. Set the Profile and Version, then finish. The project should be on your Tizen-Studio Project Explorer. Project > Clean > Build.

About .gitignore what I can suggest is to add only the files that get removed at Clean Project command.
