Title: Scripting: versioncontrolCheckout
Post by: bITs.EA on April 13, 2016, 06:58:34 pm

Hi

I'm trying to do a checkout (in batch) via a script. It seems to work, but I don't understand why the "Import package dialogue box is shown instead of the normal "checkout" dialogue box.

1) Is this normal behaviour?
2) how can I do a "undo checkout" via scripting? (I can't find a function in the manual...)

Hi,

you can always execute a command for your Version Control system by script. Then with EA re-sync state of the package.

In the evening I'll look into my code. I think I have done some code for SVN and MKS around Version Control and some helpers to make work easy.

Hi,

you can do an undo Version Control checkout by calling the API of your Version Control system like SVN for the envolved package / xml files.

To update EA Package state and package content you can use EA API (see user guide, api for package):
- VersionControlResynchPkgStatus
- VersionControlGetLatest
- ScanXMIAndReconcile() (read the documentation of VersionControlGetLatest, there is additional advice)

As I remember that works quite well. But take in account: Version Control sometimes offers surprises.
