Visual Studio 2017 C++ Up-To-Date check always report up-to-date

I'm using VS2017 write C++ projects. After some version update, it cannot auto detect source file changes. The Build(F7) command always report something like:



1>------ Up-To-Date check: Project: hello, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>All outputs are up-to-date.
1>Time Elapsed 3 ms
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


Although I can use Rebuild to get things work, it could be quite slow for some large projects. Are there any idea about this problem, or about how the build process check whether sources are out-dated?



Thanks.

  • How was the solution built? Where is it stored? What files are there in the solution? Auto-generated?

    This usually happens when the changes file is not in the project. Or the file is opened in another editor, and VS cannot save it.

  • @MatthieuBrucher Both solution build and project build produce the same message. I suspect it is the problem of Up-To-Date check. I tried to re-install VS2017, but it still cannot help. I tried common file locations including default VS project directory. The process is quite simple: create a new empty c++ project -> add a new source file -> write a simple main function. Things just cannot work. I don't want to re-install my Windows:(

  • @RobertAndrzejuk Thanks, I confirm that VS editor can save the file correctly. It just cannot be aware that files have been changed and project need to update.
