Description

Resource files are not compiled when building a project. However the same code in XE does rebuild the RES file.

[ChangeLog.rc]
---------------
ChangeLog RCDATA "ChangeLog.txt"
---------------

[MyProgram.dpr]
---------------
program MyProgram;

{$R 'ChangeLog.res' 'ChangeLog.rc'}
......
---------------

and upon rebuild, the ChangeLog.res file remains unchanged and the timestamp is the same.

Steps to Reproduce:

To see what happens, build the project, and press the button. The text from the RES is displayed.

Edit the ChangeLog.txt file and add some more text.

Rebuild the project and press the button again. The original text still appears and the RES file has not been updated.

No error messages appear either.

It appears that once the RES file exists, Delphi XE2 will not replace it on a build.

Workarounds

Could you please attach sample project to reproduce your issue?

Sure, but I can't figure out how without creating a new bug report.

OK I got the Windows client and uploaded source to reproduce.

To see what happens, build the project, and press the button. The text from the RES is displayed.

Edit the changelog.txt file and add some more text.

Rebuild the project and press the button again. The original text still appears and the RES file has not been updated.

No error messages appear either.

It appears that once the RES file exists, Delphi XE2 will not replace it on a build.

> Rebuild the project and press the button again.
As a possible workaround, please try to [Clean Up] the project via [Project Manager] and then build it?
1. select project in [Project Manager]
2. show popup menu for the project
3. select [Clean Up]
4. select [Build]

Thanks, your workaround does the trick.

Can we expect an update to address this?
