I'm writing a plugin for Elgato Stream Deck. https://developer.elgato.com/documentation/stream-deck/sdk/overview/
Basically it is a binary command line tool written in C++/OBJ-C/Swift combined with a JSON manifest and optionally some HTML and JS files as well as different assets (.png, ...). All files have to be included in a folder (com.companyname.pluginname.sdPlugin) which lives in Library/Application Support/com.elgato.StreamDeck/Plugins/
At the moment, I'm building the binary to the default build path (derived data, ...) and manually copy it to the above folder. But I need to build and run that binary with an executable (Stream Deck app) defined in the scheme for debugging under Xcode. The JSON manifest and assets also lives in my xcode project folder and have to be copied manually.
So Before:
After:
So my question: how can I automate that under Xcode? I assume I can do some sort of post build scripting, but I have no knowledge about all that stuff.
Thanks
Solution:
go to target -> build settings
Deployment Location = YES
Installation Build Products Location = / (empty this one!)
Installation Directory = path to folder (= $INSTALL_PATH)
this will copy your binary to the defined installation path
go to target -> build phases
new phase -> run script
cp -r "$SRCROOT"/<FILE OR FOLDER NAME> "$INSTALL_PATH"/<FILE OR FOLDER NAME>
repeat this for all files and folders you need to be copied to the installation path. be careful with empty spaces in the folder/file names, they won't be recognized correctly and you have to use quotation marks

I am currently using Teamcity to automatically build and publish our solution to a directory specified in the system.PublishProfile property (i.e. C:\Deployment Files).
Is it possible that after publishing TC will automatically .zip them into one file with a custom set file name?
When you define Artifacts paths inside General Settings tabs, you can set:
./out/Deploy => %BuildName%.zip
And, inside Parameters, you can specify the BuildName value.
This will produce a zipped artifact.
I have an asp.net web api project whose output needs to be packaged in a setup project using wix.
I would like to precompile the site. The problem is that the precompilation process generates variable file names (ie. *.compiled files in particular).
I also would like to build the setup in a TFS build.
It seems that my only option is to generate a .wxs file wihtin the prebuild step of the wix project.
The .wxs files source paths are using $(var._My_Web_Project_.TargetDir). This seems to be translated to a Sources based directory.
I'm using paraffin to do that already and it works perfectly fine when building the solution with visual studio.
When building the solution through a TFS build, the .compiled files are copied to a Binaries folder, whereas all the other related web site files are copied to a Sources based directory.
The build errors are like the following :
The system cannot find the file 'd:\BuildAgents\___basedir___\Binaries\___web_project_dir\_PublishedWebSites\___site___\bin\textsample.cshtml.c6fb271c.compiled'.
The file is indeed in the Sources directory.
'd:\BuildAgents\___basedir___\Sources\___web_project_dir\_PublishedWebSites\___site___\bin\textsample.cshtml.c6fb271c.compiled'
I think I somehow need to redefine the aspnet_compiler output or something like this, but can't figure out how to do that.
The msbuild command line arguments are the follwing:
/p:GenerateProjectSpecificOutputFolder=true /p:VisualStudioVersion=14.0 /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=local /p:CleanWebProjectOutputDir=False /verbosity:d
EDIT 1: I'm using XAML build.
Any help appreciated.
EDIT 2:
With the new task based build, it works as is (no need to use an additional Copy Files task).
The aspnet_compiler output the .compiled files in the correct folder :
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_compiler.exe -v / -p D:\BuildAgents\vNext\_work\1\s\Softs\__Solution__\__Web_Project\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source -c D:\BuildAgents\vNext\_work\1\s\Softs\__Solution__\__Web_Project__\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\TempBuildDir
In the new tasks based build system, it's easy to copy files from a source folder to a target folder with Copy Files task.
Source Folder: Folder that contains the files you want to copy.
Contents: Specify minimatch pattern filters (one on each line) that you want to apply to the list of files to be copied.
Target Folder: Folder where the files will be copied. In most cases you specify this folder using a variable.
I'm preparing translations for my application exactly like guy here. The problem I've is that .qm file is generated in build dir (which is fine) but resource compiler cannot find there whle compiling qrc file.
What I want to achieve is to have qrc file with entries refering to qm files from build dir.
I can give you a procedure that works but maybe it is not what you are after.
We have a subdirectory of our resource branch called 'translations'. This subdir contains all our ts files for the languages we support. These ts files are under svn control. Our pro file contains the directives (only one language shown)
TRANSLATIONS+= $$PWD/resources/translations/safepackager_nl.ts
!exists( $$PWD/resources/translations/safepackager_nl.ts ): warning( "not existing safepackager_nl.ts" )
!exists( $$PWD/resources/translations/safepackager_nl.qm ): warning( "run lrelease: not existing safepackager_nl.qm" )
Every time strings in our source change we use Qt Linguist to translate the newly added or edited strings. Next we run lupdate from within Qt Creator and then run lrelease from within Qt Creator. lupdate generates/updates the ts files and lrelease generates/updates the qm files. The qm files - located at the same location as the ts files - are not under svn control. The builder finds the qm files during build.
The lesson being - I guess - is that when ts files and qm files are in the same directory building will succeed without the need of setting additional paths.
I have one simple plan with one simple job.
Tasks:
Source code checkout
MSBuild
Run tests
Generate test report
In four steps, my utility generates a test report with screenshots. The report contain absolute links to images. (for example: onclick="window.open('./Screenshots/66ef3a03-8b82-4b40-b49d-b0155e273738.png');return false;").
If I open the report on my local machine, the report works fine, but on Bamboo I receive the error "Page Not Found", because Bamboo has not collected "Screenshots" folder.
How can I set up the Artifact Definition to collect folder with files?
P.S. I tried to set the \*.* copy pattern, but Bamboo collected only files (without folders and subfolders)
You just have to give the folder Location, like "build/", for instance, and then, in the Copy Pattern you can put **/*.* That should copy all the files you want.
Please note that:
The location is relative to the build directory. Do not use the absolute path to refer to the location.
Asterisks are not supported for Location. For this field, provide the folder name where the file would be located.
Plus, you can define as many Artifact Definitions as you want.
The best way of doing this is to zip all you artifact together. I created a bash script to do this
cd "toArtifactFolder"
zip -r Artifact .
Then in bamboo project settings you have to edit the Artifact and changed the location to where ever the artifact zip file is
Then in the Copy Pattern just enter the zip file eg Artifact.zip
Bamboo uses the "Ant file copy pattern".
Matching recursively against all files: **/*
This does include almost everything
Unfortunately this does not include dot-files, at least in my test on a linux build agent. I could not find a workaround apart from a second artifact (pattern **/.*) or the creation of an archive.
Matching against all files in any subfolder: */*
This does not include foo/bar/test.xyz
This does include both foo/test.xyz and bar/test.xyz
You can do more advanced matching; e.g. you can use build/**/*.jar to copy all jars from a build directory.
For further info see the docs
It seems that MsBuild creates a folder called, "BuildType" on the build server and this folder is where the .proj file is copied. In source control I have several files that are in the same folder as the build project file. I have a workspace mapped to this location.
I would like to be able to specify explicitly which files from this workspace location should be copied to the build machine. Is this possible?
Thanks!
You cannot do this on file level but if you organize your build type folder with subfolders you can cloak the folders that you want to exclude.
