Installed apps are not loaded if local repo is not available

[marbehant]

If our local repo (set through XILINX_TCLAPP_REPO env) is not available (f.e. server offline), our tcl apps (which have already been installed from the local repo) are not loaded.

I would expect all installed apps to be always loaded (they are copied in ~/.Xilinx/Vivado/2014.3/XilinxTclStore) even when our local repo (from where they were installed) is not available.
A critical warning could indicate that the installed app is out of date or doesn't exist in the Vivado installation catalog but if it is already installed, it should be loaded.

On the other hand, unsetting the XILINX_TCLAPP_REPO env brings the expected behavior: a warning indicates that our tcl app is out of date but the app is loaded. We will use it as a workaround.

Hello Jean-Francois,

Thank you for the valuable feedback you gave in the past few days. The Xilinx Tcl Store is still evolving and although we are working hard to avoid issues, there might still be a few remaining one's going through the cracks when switching back and forth between Vivado versions and user or contributor flows. So your feedback is really appreciated.

You have shown a lot of interest to the Xilinx Tcl Store so I wanted to see how we could help you.

Can you email us directly at tclstore@xilinx.com so that we can communicate via email?

Best regards,
David
