Hello dear EAGLE user, dear EAGLE Support team,
I'm setting up a fully automated document generation bash script for BoM, gerbers, centroid file, schematic printing, etc. Thus I'm using eagle in command line ( from a bash shell ) in the following way:
eagle -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>
each such call to eagle should do whatever needed to do the job, then QUIT eagle without saving any possible changes and no user interaction is allowed. I mean that I don't want to have any popup or dialog requiring user intervention. Thus the <some_eagle_commands> generally ends by SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT;
My issue:
As indicated in the documentation, SET CONFIRM NO; should automatically answer NO to the dialog that would show otherwise if any changes has been made before executing the QUIT; command. However, the dialog still appears even when using SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT;.
An easy example to reproduce the issue is:
- Open an eagle project containing both board and schematic.
- Assuming the schematic has at least one assembly variant ( i.e. other that main "''" variant ), change the assembly variant.
- then execute the SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT; command in the editor command window.
- ISSUE: Eagle is showing a dialog asking you if you want to save or not the changes ( i.e. the fact that assembly variant has been changed ). I don't want this dialog since I used SET CONFIRM NO; but still ...
Is this a bug ? What can I do to avoid such dialog ?
If you need additional details, please ask me.
Best regards,
Jonathan.
