Source code engineering in batch mode

[crepuscule31]

Hi,

   Is it possible do generate source code in batch mode, without a graphical interface, so that it can be integrated to a continous integration ?

  Thanks

You can write a batch script that uses ProjectInterface.GenerateClass/Package to trigger code gen.

Ok, thank you.
The problem is that I don't understant the format of the first argument that is "the GUID in XML format". What does that mean ?

I have tried some things like:
 -     "{42CC2FBC-522F-4110-9B62-10E907D03DF3}"
 - <guid>{42CC2FBC-522F-4110-9B62-10E907D03DF3}</guid>
- 42CC2FBC-522F-4110-9B62-10E907D03DF3
- ...

But nothing works.

Do you know the exact format for the GUID argument ?

Thank you

I find project.GUIDtoXML that converts a GUID to the expected format.

Well.

But, the generation still does not work. GeneratePackage returns false and nothing is generated.

Does a log file exist ?
Any idea ?

Does the manual generation work without issue?

Yes, the manual generation works fine.

For information, my code is the following :

Code: [Select]

           Repository repository  = new Repository();
            
            Project project = repository.GetProjectInterface();
            
            String guidXML = project.GUIDtoXML("{A8917EA3-6FDE-42cf-A30E-1E061647082A}");
                        
            boolean b = project.GeneratePackage(guidXML,
                        "recurse=1;overwrite=1;dir=C:\\SDE");
            System.out.println(b);
            
            System.out.println("Repository exit...");
            r.Exit();

I have tried that here and had no issues. Can you try that with an almost empty test repository?

q.

[crepuscule31]

The model is already very trivial as it is the model generated by EA when selecting "New Model" with just "Class" selected in Model Wizard.

Can you send me the repository? I'd try here. You can find my mail address in the book links below.

It works now... I wonder why it didn't work before !

Very thank you for your help.
