Versioning

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friederich,

I hope I am not the only one to use use an ini file to do versioning of my
app and ... could it be possible for SB to have a switch to use or not such
an ini file also ?

Like this I (we) could have the same ini file for both our app and SB ....

It is just that yesterday I forgot incrementing in SB and realised that only
fater uploading to the server and testing from a clients computer .....
And as I only have a small 1024 connection it takes nearly one hour each
time .....

Merci for a thought towards this idea ....

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Where exactly do you use this INI file for "versioning"?

Hello mon ami ...

In a Clarion template with a call to this ini file
and like this whenever I change this ini file the app and dll's generated -
with that template - get a new version number

The ideal would be to have SB retreive from the same ini file to generate
version in the installer ...

Merci

Hi Jean-Pierre,

As I understand it, you also change the version in your application
resource, right?

Why not use the new "#get file information" compiler directive to set the
installer version ;-)

And if you really have to use the INI, just create a new compiler variable,
say, [USE_VERSIONING_INI]. Then create a new "Release" (e.g. Use Versioning
INI) and set the [USE_VERSIONING_INI] compiler variable in that Release to
1. You can now use #ifcompvar to control the use of the INI file. This
even works from the command line now :)

What do you think?

Hi Friederich,

I think ..... you again thought before us as always (ou presque...) <BG>

Will try this later today and let you know but indeed it sonds so simple - I
had no idea the installer version could be "hand set" ... still used to open
and change in both places etc .... in both setup and update scripts ....

MERCI
