Does not generate any files about zap HOT 11 CLOSED

@isj4 @SimpliPHYd seems like you have figured this out. @SimpliPHYd you are correct you need to pass the --gen and --zcl targets to zap in order to pick the correct meta data from your SDK. ZAP documentation related to this can be found in https://github.com/project-chip/zap -> Usage Documentation -> ZAP User's Guide -> Launching ZAP for Matter or Zigbee Applications or Generating Code for Matter, Zigbee or a Custom SDK

@isj4 can you try with the very latest? please

from zap.

this one https://github.com/project-chip/zap/releases/tag/v2023.12.06-nightly

from zap.

I tested that version now.
Downloaded ZIP file and unpacked on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS in a VM.

I started "zap" directly on the command line, created a minimal zigbee project "Zigbee HA gateway...", saved, and then pushed [generate]. Result:

A popup-notification appears with:

zap
"" is ready

But a file location picker window popped up in the background.

No location/directory seems selectable in that picker, except the "recent/home/desktop/documents/downloads/..." shortcuts.
I selected "Downloads" and pressed the green [Generate button]. Window closes. A sort-of progress-bar line flashes in the main window, and nothing has been generated. No warnings, no errors.

I'm wondering if Zap relies on some shared library but doesn't detect its non-presence and simply fails silently.

@isj4 yeah, you need to select a gen-templates file

good point, whatever is happening, it should tell you

from zap.

Which "gen-templates" do you refer to? The .slcp files or something similar? It is not obvious to me what it might be.

from zap.

look up "gen-templates.json" in the SDK

from zap.

Any luck with this issue? I am having the same problem

from zap.

I haven't had time to try yet. I did locate the mentioned file in the Gecko SDK: ./protocol/zigbee/app/framework/gen-template/gen-templates.json

from zap.

Ok I got it working!
run the zap tool with the following arguments:
./zap --logToStdout --gen <path_to_template>/gen-templates.json --zcl <path_to_zcl.json>/zcl.json

You should also be able to generate the files without specifying the zcl.json file and using the default one:
./zap --logToStdout --gen <path_to_template>/gen-templates.json

I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere but I could not find any documentation on how to run zap.
I had to look at the scripts from connectedhomeip repo that are using zap.

If anyone knows where this is documented, could you point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

If you see [Error: SQLITE_ERROR: no such table: SETTING] { errno: 1, code: 'SQLITE_ERROR' } error it is likely that your database got corrupted at some point and deleting your .zap repo from your root directory gets you around this issue.

Closing this issue hoping that this answers all your questions. Please feel free to re-open if there is anything left over with respect to this issue.
