Code Generation Preview
« on: March 07, 2004, 11:59:45 pm »
Is there a way to preview code generation before it is actualy saved to a file in version 3.6? I often want to just look at the code BEFORE a file is created...

Thanks,
Damon Carr

Hi Damon,

There is currently no preview feature for code generation, but we'll consider this suggestion for future versions of EA.

Thanks for the note.

Regards,
Ben

Sparx Team,

That would be excellent and (as a developer) I cannot imagine it to be a huge effort on your part. I usually make a mistake in something small and I have to gen, open file, see mistake, fix model.

I'd rather 'preview' code, see error and fix model.

Hi,

I had a similar request/idea in the suggestions board.

A model check, telling where code generation is likely to be incompleete. E.G. missing types in method arguments.

A model check could place a automaticaly generated note on every diagram with flaws telling what is wrong there.
