Summary

0011574: source_group command fails with empty group

Description

Using: Microsoft Visual Studio (2008, 2010, ...)

The source_group command fails if the group contains no files. This looks almost like a correct behavior: who needs an empty group? The trouble is when I try to create a group with no files of its own, but with subgroups that do have files. In this case, the super- and subgroups are not created, and the files are just added to the containing project/group.

A better behavior is to create the group whenever, even if empty, or when it has children, even if no file children.

Steps To Reproduce

project(testproj CXX)

source_group("Parent Group" FILES "")
source_group("Parent Group\\Child" FILES "a.cpp")
add_library(testlib a.cpp)

Notes
(0030611) David Cole (manager) 2012-08-13 15:16	Sending old, not-recently-updated issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug alone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
