I have a utility that checks various file info (size, date, location, etc) against a manifest to see that it all matches. Would anyone know if there's a way to get the last write date of a file in a svn repository, using VB.NET. The equivalent of using FileInfo.LastWriteDate.
Any thoughts?
I think you can call svn from the command line with the appropiate parameters to get this information. If that is possible, you can write a class which does that for a given file.
Other than that, there might be some library out there which does this and more things, but if what you asked for is the only thing you need from svn, using a library might be overkill

Currently we need to customize one of the existing TBO to add some functionality. However we are unable to find the exact code of TBO which we deployed last time.
Is there any way we can get it back from repository itself?
Usually we convert our Code to a single Jar file and add that to jardef. And we deploy the Dar file to Documentum repository. So is there a way to retrieve that Jar file?
Yes, there is a way. Navigate to
System/Modules/TBO/<your TBO name>
There should be jardef under dmc_jar object type.
You can also query for dmc_module or dmc_jar to find them all, though I think all should be under TBO folder level.
Recently, my company started to focus Extension_v2 development for Dynamics NAV BC. We store our code in an internal Git-Server. So far, so good.
But startig a new project is still a very fiddly task. You have to create a repository, clone it, execute the AL Code-Task, move the files to the fitting location push the repository to the correct upstream etc. And all this does not include the first initial Steps (README, CHANGELOG and all other fundamental files...).
So I wanted to write a small PowerShell-Script, to do all these initial steps before being able to start working on the Project.
The Problem: I could not find a way to execute the "AL-GO!" task via script.
I have already searched the Internet and some forums for an answer... but it seems like microsoft did not consider the possibility to execute tasks from the AL-Language-Extension via script.
I also played around with the New-NAVAppManifest and the New-NAVAppManifestFile command for the old Extension_V1 development, but that did not do the trick.
I am looking for a fair and easy way to combine the creation of the app.json file and the launch.json file with other commands to easily initialize a new Project without haveing to write all commands manually. Maybe I did not recognize the easy solution. Or maybe this is just the way we have to do it in Extension_v2.
Anyway, thanks for all your help nevertheless.
Greetings.
Stay away from Ext V1. It's highly deprecated at this point.
First of all, why do you need to execute the "AL-Go!" via script? The "AL-Go!" command should already include all necessary steps to create an empty project including the launch.json and app.json. (minimal adjuments required dependent on your BC environment)
There is an extension/plugin for Git in Visual Studio Code which will handle all the repository stuff for you. You don't need to change file locations if everything is set up for Git. I rarely use it yet, but saw a demo for it on the Directions EMEA last year and I'm pretty sure it works at its current state (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
A way to implement the "AL-GO!" command for a script or for setting up additional steps in your project setup might be to write your own visual studio code extension/plugin which requires some additional know-how for that.
OR
You just change the settings/files of the default project, I bet there is at least a file for creating the initial AL project. Just change that to your requirements
Somewhat related to this question - Parametrizing node name in Elixir Exrm - is there a way to dynamically set the content of the rel/vm.args file?
In the title, I suggest the use of config.exs, but I'm interested in any scheme that will allow me to add, remove and edit vm arguments at build time.
A bash script might be an idea, but a solution that would also work on Windows, and is preferably based on Elixir code would be the idea.
You can commit to your project repo a rel/vm.args file that you would like to be used instead of the Exrm generated one. Exrm will automatically use this file instead.
I'd like to list all files from a remote folder (let's say www.mysite.com/folder, and this folder is already configured through .htaccess for directory listing).
After listing, i'll need to copy the remote files to a local folder.
For listing/copying only local files, I was using NSFileManager, but this doesn't work for the remote ones. I've been looking for some reference on it, but couldn't find so far...
While NSFileManager can in fact handle URLs, it's not going to download the apache HTML page with the directory listing and parse it to do this... you'll have to do that yourself. This sounds like a strange thing to be doing however, so you may want to explain the reasoning and we may be able to suggest better alternatives. WebDAV comes to mind.
UPDATE: Based on your comment, why not put the resources in a .zip (or similar) file and download that? Then it's a single download and you can just extract it locally. Sounds like it would save a lot of headaches and would make it much easier to do things like checksum validations on the download(s).
Maybe it's not the best way, but - instead of get directory listing - we're going to keep a list of files that should be transfered (could be a .txt or .xml).
For downloading and tracking multiple requests, we're going to use ASINetworkQueues (more details can be found on http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest).
Another good suggestion, given by d11wqt (thank you for your help), is compressing the files and just make one single request.
A colleague has imported a CVS repository into a pre-existing SVN repository using a cvs2svn dumpfile (like "svnadmin load --parent-dir /path < dumpfile") , which I originally created from the CVS repo.
Now that I'm trying to checkout and build from SVN, I've noticed that some files seem to be missing in the SVN checkout that were present when I checked out the same branch from CVS, although the majority are present. They are mostly but not exclusively binary files (jars and gifs etc.) and I think (though I haven't checked exhaustively) that they are also files that have not been modified on the branch that I'm trying to check out. I should also point out that they don't show up using cvsweb (I would provide a link to the cvsweb documentation but I have no way of knowing its version etc), although they do appear doing a standard checkout of the branch.
If anyone has any idea what's wrong here, or where to start looking to address this, I'd be very grateful! New to SVN so not sure if this is normal! Also, I know I could fairly easily "fix" it by copying over the files but I'd ideally like to keep their revision history so a more complete solution would be preferable. Thanks!
That sounds that the configuration which has been used during the conversion has been wrong. May be a property in svn exists which represent the CVS revision information. If not you're lost..more or less...A good suggestion is to test such migrations and check the contents of the resulting SVN repository...and of course do make backups ...BTW. Are these branches are removed in CVS before?
This is not normal; such files should be handled just fine by cvs2svn. Your best bet is to create a reproducible test case (instructions for doing so are in the cvs2svn FAQ) and report the problem to the cvs2svn users' mailing list.
