Greetings,

I've been playing around with the SU2 code to try to add things and contribute. On the latest develop branch, as of April 15th 2020, some codes do not recompile after I make some changes. I am not sure if this will affect other files too but currently, I have problem with the file SU2_SOL.cpp within SU2_SOL/src directory. My test problem is the Inviscid Bump.


Steps to reproduce

1. Go to SU2_SOL/src/SU2_SOL.cpp, I change just the string at line 725, which outputs "Solver Postprocessing". I didnt want to break other things so I figure changing string is a safe option.

2. In other words, I change:

cout << endl <<"------------------------- Solver Postprocessing -------------------------" << endl;

into something like this

cout << endl <<"------------------------- CHANGE Solver Postprocessing -------------------------" << endl;

so that when the code finishes running, I can tell that my edits are saved.

3. I also changed the output string of the file CSinglezoneDriver.cpp within SU2_CFD/src/drivers directory. This is to check if only SU2_SOL.cpp are affected.

For this file, I changed line 270 which outputs "Solver Exit" like this:

cout << endl << "----------------------------- Solver Exit -------------------------------" << endl;

into something like this

cout << endl <<  "---------------------------CHANGE Solver Exit  -------------------------------" << endl;

4. Then I go to the main directory of the SU2 and rebuild meson with:

./meson.py build --reconfigure --buildtype=debug

There are no errors.

5. Then to reinstall the code, I do:

./ninja -C build install

Again, no errors. All files are installed normally.

6. I run the code to solve the Inviscid Bump using:

SU2_CFD inv_channel.cfg

Results
Code runs and exits normal. The file CSinglezoneDriver.cpp is updated, but not the SU2_SOL.cpp. I tried removing the build folder to do a fresh build and install, still the same problem. The only thing I changed within the config file is setting ROE as flow numerical method (line 145). I also changed the iteration on line 102 to like 2 iteration, because I only want to see if the files get updated. I have not created an Issue on Github yet, just want to know the suggestions here first. Please let me know and I appreciate the inputs

I figured out the problem. I was editing the wrong file, every solver has the "Exit" and "Deleted" messages printed out. I was editting the SU2_SOL.cpp, but in fact the file that needs to be changed is the CDrivers.cpp within SU2_CFD.
