Hello
Does anyone know where the source name of the project can be downloaded from?
for example.
in the library I would like to:



String pn = PROJECT_NAME;

pn is "ESP32_STATION3_1"

You could set a define in the project properties of each project. Right click the project and click "Properties" or follow this guide.

I didn't really mean it. For you it is sketch14 and it would be best if it happened "automatically". Of course from the library level.

When you say library I expect you mean arduino library. Arduino libraries do not know about code sketch. It is the other way around. The only way would be via compiler defines as shown.

admin: EDITED with correction

You can add a variable such as PROJ_TYPE="{build.project_name}" that would automatically use the project name. This will give the name of the primary .ino file along with .ino extension.

The arduino library is what I mean.
My application consists of 99% of libraries, so-called modular construction, and configuration is done via the GUI on the terminal. I would like to compile applications and see in my GUI what project it comes from. I think the PROJ_TYPE = {sketch_name} option in the properties will apply.
Thanks for the tips

Unfortunately it doesn't work with
PROJ_TYPE = {sketch_name} in the properties.

Yes sorry wrong var name. If you switch on the settings shown in yellow above you can see all the build variables. There is one that contains the "project_name.ino". Does that help

Code
Select All
defines: PROJECT_NAME_INO="{build.project_name}"


note: The quotes were missing from my previous example which has also been corrected. Quotes around strings are important or the build will fail.

ps: The red squiggle will show until after a build. If you alter defines or build flags then a build is required before intellisense will detect the changes.
