"SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT;" not working if changes ( wanted to be lost ) has been made.

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.

    This question is shown as "assumed to be answered" but it is not...

    My last post says that none of the replies solved my issue.

     

    Thus, if someone from CadSoft could answer my original question it would be very helpful.

     

    Many thanks and best regards,

     

    Jonathan.
