I have a problem with setting the working directory with CMake (Visual Studio 2022).

我在使用CMake(Visual Studio 2022)设置工作目录时遇到问题。

I'm currently working on a project (some OpenGL learning stuff) and decided to switch from typical VS solution-project to CMake project. I need to load some files (.obj, shaders) from Resources folder (LearnOpenGL/Resources) but I see that paths in c++ code are relative to LearnOpenGL/out/build/x64-Debug/.

我目前正在做一个项目(一些OpenGL学习材料)，并决定从典型的VS解决方案项目切换到CMake项目。我需要从Resources文件夹(LearnOpenGL/Resources)加载一些文件(.obj、着色器)，但我看到C++代码中的路径是相对于LearnOpenGL/out/Build/x64-Debug/的。

I've already tried :

我已经试过了：

• setting property VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY like (also without trailing slash):

set_property(TARGET LearnOpenGL PROPERTY VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/")

• adding "currentDir" or "cwd" to CMakeSettings.json like:

"currentDir": "${projectDir}"

"cwd": "${projectDir}"

but there is no effect of any of those changes. Does anyone have some ideas what else can I do? Or maybe I'm doing here something wrong?

但这些变化都没有任何影响。有没有人知道我还能做什么？或者也许我在这里做错了什么？

You can add currentDir property to your launch.vs.json which will typically be in ${workspaceRoot}/.vs directory.

您可以将CurrentDir属性添加到您的Launch.vs.json，该属性通常位于${workspaceRoot}/.vs目录中。

To access it from Visual Studio 2022 CMake project you can follow these steps:

若要从Visual Studio 2022 CMake项目访问它，您可以执行以下步骤：

In the solution explorer click on Switch between solutions and available views button:

在解决方案资源管理器中，单击在解决方案和可用视图之间切换按钮：

Then click on CMake Targets View

然后单击CMake目标视图

Now right click on your project and press Add Debug Configuration in context menu

现在，右键单击您的项目，然后在上下文菜单中按下添加调试配置

This will open launch.vs.json file where you can edit currentDir property, for example - my project 02_texture.exe should start in root directory so my launch config looks like this:

这将打开启动.vs.json文件，您可以在其中编辑CurentDir属性，例如，我的项目02_texture.exe应该在根目录中启动，因此我的启动配置如下所示：

{
  "version": "0.2.1",
  "defaults": {},
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "default",
      "project": "CMakeLists.txt",
      "projectTarget": "",
      "name": "CMakeLists.txt"
    },
    {
      "type": "default",
      "project": "CMakeLists.txt",
      "projectTarget": "02_texture.exe (02_texture\\02_texture.exe)",
      "name": "02_texture.exe (02_texture\\02_texture.exe)",
      "currentDir": "${workspaceRoot}"
    }
  ]
}

As an additional tip related to the answer from stjepano, it is also possible to save that launch.vs.json file next to you CMakeLists.txt. This is convenient as it allows to save the launch.vs.json file in your source code repository and, consequently, share that configuration with your co-workers (its default location, in the .vs folder doesn't make it possible as that folder should not be commited).

作为与stjepano的回答相关的额外提示，还可以在您的CMakeLists.txt旁边保存启动.vs.json文件。这很方便，因为它允许在您的源代码存储库中保存Launch.vs.json文件，并因此与您的同事共享该配置(其默认位置在.vs文件夹中，这是不可能的，因为该文件夹不应该被提交)。

I could not find documentation on Microsoft's website explaining this was possible and had to rely on blind experiments to find this "hidden" feature, so I though it was interesting to note.

我在微软的网站上找不到解释这一可能性的文档，不得不依靠盲目实验来找到这个“隐藏”的功能，所以我觉得这很有趣。

I'm also currently working myself through the examples of https://www.learnopengl.com and I also use CMake to generate Visual Studio solutions / projects.
I ran into the same issue with loading shaders and textures. They were not found when running the sample apps from Visual Studio Debugger. My solution was:

我目前也在研究https://www.learnopengl.com的示例，我还使用CMake来生成Visual Studio解决方案/项目。我在加载着色器和纹理时遇到了同样的问题。从Visual Studio调试器运行示例应用程序时未找到它们。我的解决方案是：

1. copy shaders and textures via a short npm script to both the build/Debug and build/Release subdirectories. You could also use a batch file.


2. In CMakeLists.txt, add the following code so that visual studio debugger runs in build/Debug or build/Release respectively and not in build/ which is default:

#set visual studio's working directory for debugging to 'build/debug' respectively 'build/release' instead of 'build'
set_property(TARGET triangle-sample  PROPERTY VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR})
