How to set the Output and Intermediate Directory in Visual Studio C++ projects generated by CMake, using Visual Studio Macros?

By -

Here is the final desired result in Visual Studio 2019 for any C/C++ project:

enter image description here

The key part that I am looking for are the top 2 lines in this MSVC project properties dialog:

  • "Output Directory": $(Configuration)-$(PlatformArchitecture)\
  • "Intermediate Directory": $(Configuration)-$(PlatformArchitecture)\$(ProjectName)\

As you can see, both use Visual Studio $(xyz) macros to define the target paths.

The question(s) that I've been struggling with:

  1. How can I make CMake spit out these strings instead of already expanded paths into the generated vcxproj files?

  2. If I want this to happen to multiple (or all) generated MSVC C/C++ project files (libraries, executables, etc.), where do I set this up then? Do I need to patch template files or can this be done via commandline or configuration file settings, which then override the CMakeLists.txt internally defined values?

  3. Anything special I need to mind / watch out for, if I want this setting for all vcxproj build targets as shown in the screenshot?

    (in my case that's generally Debug+Release for both x86 and x64, so 2 Configurations and 2 Platforms in Visual Studio speak)

The other questions on SO (at least the ones I dug up) do not address this at all AFAICT as they replace one 'hardcoded' path with another using CMake (just using different CMake variables, but all expand to absolute paths before the vcxproj is produced).

Network Error and Timeout on Authorize.net JS

By -
i am using authorize.net acceptUI.js in order to create a hosted payment form for credit card acceptance. The problem arising now is that, going on the checkout page, I have the following console message: GET https://js.authorize.net/v3/AcceptUI.js net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED Which is weird, cause I cannot ping the domain or anything, as my computer cannot resolve the domain. However, this issue is also reported by individual customers and it seems to be sporadically and not happening the entire time, cause i can see other orders going through. Does anyone know how such an error can be caused, or any ideas how it can be resolved? Thanks for your help EDIT: I just checked the A DNS record for js.authorize.net and am getting the following result only: js.authorize.net. 100 IN CNAME js.authorize.net.cdn.cloudflare.net. Doing the same for js.authorize.net.cdn.cloudflare.net. does not return an A Record, unless I specifically instruct to use 1.1.1.1 as DNS server I...

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....
