Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Python script to copy a repository (.eapx file) fully

If all you want is to make a copy of the file to another location, you don't need to use the clipboard.


Geert

thank you for your response, Is there a way to export a package as xml using scripting?

Well, if you make copies, then how will you merge the local changes made in the distributed files?

q.

to be fair, this si not at all a long term solution, but rather a temp snapshot solution to make sure we dont lose our model.

Can you explain what you want to achieve?

Why would you want to copy the .eapx file tot he clipboard?
There might be better solutions that avoid using the clipboard alltogether.

Geert

so basicaly, our model is stored on a server and due to organizational reasons its taking and will take so long for us to have access to the server as a mod, we want to have safe copies of the file in order to have a very premitive version control for now so we can continue our work, however from what i have seen with EA's version control scripts, they all operate within the repository, so I wanted to know if there is a way to copy/paste the entire file.

if there are better ways please let me know since I'm very new to this im winging it 90% of the times :')

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: How should I run a python script, directly on EA with the help of javascript?

Python will run entirely outside EA. Use Win32 to either create an EA instance or to connect to a running one (I usually use the latter).

q.

thank you for your reply, yes my python code uses win32 and runs the needed functions all fine, I wanted to know if there is a way to have this added as a script in EA so the members of my team can also add it in there so there is no need to run it outside for convinience, my idea was to use javascript to access the python code, if there is nothing notable i can do (nothing thats not too much of a hassle) then i geuss I'll continue running it outside, no problem

Hello all,

I have a python code that needs to run on EA, (the code works outside EA and all is fine) I thought maybe using Javascript in scripting tool that EA provides is the answer, as it's been awhile since I have used JavaScript (without HTML for that matter) any code templates I can use?

thank you
