Build to deploy process

[Sonjli 6]

Hello,

I have an automation system to deploy a big application.

In this automation system I build some projects in Delphi.

I use the "Set Component Properties" of GExperts to update some properties before the build process. I do this "by hand" setting this:

Is it possible to use a command line for any tool of GExperts? Or an sdk to implements this?

Thanks,

Eddy

Hi,

ok, I set my mind in ease...

No, there is no such tool and also no API, because this expert relies on the Open Tool API of the IDE. If I remember correctly there is a tool in the JCL that allows changing properties in dfm files.

 

(Sorry, I missed the original post.)

Why changing properties at build stage? I guess they should be checked before committing to VCS.

Hi,

yes I'd prefer this. How do you do this?

GExperts does this before compiling or building.

Well I don't have such props, in general I meant examining changes in DFMs before commit and saving only significant ones (that's what I do, reverting those ones that IDE modified itself). But there are pre-commit hooks that could run custom scripts which could do everything you need.
