My project structure is:
I want user additionally to configure the build using some of the build scripts from specifications dir but the main build script to be used to configure the project as well. Using -b option give the ability to specify another build scrpt different from the default one, but I want this default one to be executed as well. I don't want to use apply from: and to add all scripts because user have to decide what he wants.
So is there a way to tell Gradle to add additional build script - command line with which to configure extra the Project?
If you need this this, you could do something like this:
apply from: "config/specifications/${project.spec}.gradle"
which would then allow users to do e.g.
./gradlew -P spec=example
See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#sec:gradle_properties_and_system_properties for more details on setting project properties from the command line.

Sorry, I'm new to Xcode and not very familiar with it, I use Xcode (command line tool project with external build system) to compile cpp files and automatically execute cpp unix executable files. After the program is compiled (command+R), I set the settings as shown in the screenshot below to automatically execute. Is there any way for me to execute also add additional commands?
Such as iconv.
The following line is what I ultimately want to execute.
./myFile argument1 | iconv -f big5
But my Xcode looks like it's executing only
./myFile argument1
really thanks
On the same place where you setup the build scheme, you can also add a post-build script.
Go to the left of the panel, and expand Build
Select Post-actions
Near the bottom center, click on + -> New Run Script Action
Add script like you would run them in terminal
Note the current directory will not be where the project is built
You can use ${TARGET_BUILD_DIR} macro for the build directory
Note, you want to make sure to select your current project at the Provide build settings from so it can import the correct path macros like TARGET_BUILD_DIR
A screenshot of adding a post-build script:
*Older versions of Xcode might have different GUI, but the idea should be about the same.
Sidenote, ⌘R is really for running the program within Xcode, consider using ⌘B.
I have a library with a bunch of different configuration options. We usually configure the build with cmake-gui and ticking a few checkboxes.
I want to automate this into a .sh script using just cmake.
e.g.
In GUI -> selects a bunch of different options
equivalent cmake command -> cmake -D CMAKE_XXX=X -D CMAKE_XXY=XXY [a bunch of options here] ..
How can I find the "equivalent" cmake command-line command to any arbitrary configuration I choose from the GUI?
The equivalent cmake command to cache a variable is explained here (-D option). Note that previous documentation was ambiguous, so take care of always checking the latest one.
Basically:
-D<var>:<type>=<value>
You have to specify also the type to have the variable cached in the same way as through your cmake-gui procedure. Note that variable definition is necessary only the first time: if not specified anymore, the cached value will be used.
cmake-gui generates CMakeVars.txt and CMakeCache.txt files in the build directory once you click "Configure" button. They cache all variables you configured through the GUI.
Had the same question ... and as you asked I looking up some of the options in the menu and found it. Menu Tools -> Show My Changes
Bringing up an Dialog with an edit field with content for command line options or cache file options.
yeah
p.s. I used cmake 3.11.1
just read file named like CMakeCache.txt (iirc) in the root of build directory and see variable names there
You can write a file containing all variables you want to set with set(<var_name> <value>) and pass this file to the CMake call via -C:
cmake -C <fileWithInitialValues> <pathToSrcDir>
Documentation:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/manual/cmake.1.html
This should would similar with cmake-gui and ccmake, but it is not a pure solution with the graphic interface.
So I am running into an issue when I go to build my projects using tfs build controller using the Output location "AsConfigred" it will not detect my unit tests. Let me give a little info on my setup.
TFS 2013 Update 2, Default Process Template
Here is a few screenshots that can hopefully help fill in what I can't in typing. I am copying my build out to a file share on our network so that we can use other utilities use the output. I don't want to use "PerProject" or "SingleFolder" because they mess up the file structure we have configured (These both will run the tests). So i have the files copy to folder names "SingleOutputFolder" which is a child of the DropLocation. I would like to be able to run from the drop folder or run from the bin folder for each of my tests (I don't care which). However it doesn't seem to detect/run ANY of the tests. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
I have tried using ***test*.dll, Install\SingleFolderOutput**.test.dll, and $(TF_BUILD_DROPLOCATION)\Install\SingleFolderOutput*test*.dll
But I am not sure what variables are available and understand where the scope of its execution is.
Given that you're using Build Output location set to AsConfigured you have to change the default values of the Test sources spec setting to allow build to find the test libraries in the bin folders. Here's an example.
If the full path to the unit test libraries is:
E:\Builds\7\<TFS Team Project>\<Build Definition>\src\<Unit Test Project>\bin\Release\*test*.dll
use
..\src\*UnitTest*\bin\*\*test*.dll;
This question was asked on MSDN forums here.
MSDN Forums Suggested Workaround
The suggested workaround in the accepted answer (as of 8 a.m. on June 20) is to specify the full path to the test projects' binary folders: For example:
C:\Builds\{agentId}\{teamProjectName}\{buildDefinitionName}\src\{solutionName}\{testProjectName}\bin*\Debug\*test*.dll*
which really should have been shown as
{agentWorkingFolder}\src\{relativePathToTestProjectBinariesFolder}\*test*.dll
However this approach is very brittle, for the following reasons:
Any new test projects you add to the solution will not be executed until you add them to the build definition's list of test sources:
It will break under any of the following circumstances:
the build definition is renamed
the working folder in build agent properties is modified
you have multiple build agents, and a different agent than the one you specified in {id} runs the build
Improved Workaround
My workaround mitigates the issues listed in #2 (can't do anything about #1).
In the path specified above, replace the initial part:
{agentWorkingFolder}
with
..
so you have
..\src\{relativePathToTestProjectBinariesFolder}\*test*.dll
This works because the internal working directory is apparently the \binaries\ folder that is a sibling of the \src\ folder. Navigating up to the parent folder (whatever it is named, we don't care) and back in to \src\ before specifying the path to the test projects binaries does the trick.
Note: If you have multiple test projects, you add additional entries, separated with semicolons:
..\src\{relativePathToTestProjectONEBinariesFolder}\*test*.dll;..\src\{relativePathToTestProjectTWOBinariesFolder}\*test*.dll;..\src\{relativePathToTestProjectTHREEBinariesFolder}\*test*.dll;
What I ended up doing was adding a post build event to copy all of the test.dll into the staging location folder in the specific build that is basically equivalent to where it would go on a SingleFolder build and do that on each test project.
if "$(TeamBuildOutDir)" == "" (
echo "Building Interactively not in TFS"
) else (
echo "Building in TFS"
xcopy "$(TargetDir)*.*" "$(TeamBuildBinaries)\" /Y /E /S
)
MSBUILD parameter in the build def that told it to basically drop in the folder that TFS looks for them.
/p:TeamBuildBinaries="$(TF_BUILD_BINARIESDIRECTORY)"
Kept the default Test assembly file specification:
**\*test*.dll
View this link for the information on the variable that I used and what relative path it exists at.
Another solution is to do the reverse.
Leave all of the files in the root so that all of the built in functionality works. There is more than just test execution in there. What about static code analysis, impact analysis..among others. You would have to do something custom for them all.
Instead use a pre-drop powershell script to create your Install arrangement from the root files.
If it is an application then you can use the _ApplicationFolder Nuget package to create an _PublishApplications folder same as you get for web applications.
I would like to change the dynamic variable ${selected_resource_loc} such that I get rid of the extension (and can add another one).
The purpose is to build the current selected file, but therefore I don't need the .cc-file in my command but the .o-file with the same name.
Detailed description:
I have a customized make command (lets say make) and would like to execute make selectedFileName.o, where the current selected file in eclipse is selectedFileName.cc. (I put the command as build command in project properties -> C/C++ Build.) With variable ${selected_resource_loc} in behaviour tab I get make selectedFileName.cc.
I solved my problem by writing a skript where I modify the ${selected_resource_loc} and included it via external tools in eclipse.
I am looking for some documentation or tutorial for copying files from a given directory into the app created by xcode at build time, before it is run.
At first I have tried to copy files into the derived directory, hoping that everything resides in there would be automatically added to the app, but I was wrong.
So I am looking for a script because the original dir may change its name, second the script could be customized by another xcode 4 user with its src dir path etc.
The things is I don't know how to start, which language etc. I am quite confident with shell script, but maybe there's a better option.
Second, I am trying to figure out which command could add a file in the already built app.
thanks
That answer didn't really help - the BUILT_PRODUCT_DIR isn't where most stuff goes.
Ultimately, I found you just need to do:
Add the following to the very end of your script (or get your script to write directly to the output location):
cp ${DERIVED_FILE_DIR}/[YOUR OUTPUT FILES] ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}
...but there's a lot of other things I tried. More thoughts and ideas here: http://red-glasses.com/index.php/tutorials/xcode4-a-script-that-creates-adds-files-to-your-project/
You want a Run Script or Copy Files build phase. Select your main project in the navigator, then select the app's target. Click the Build Phases tab. Click the Add Build Phase button at the bottom of the window and choose the appropriate phase.
By "appropriate" I mean if you really want to run a script, you'll use a Run Script build phase and use Xcode-provided environment variables like $BUILT_PRODUCT_DIR (see the documentation or hit build and examine the full output of an empty script in the build log) to figure out your target folder. If all you want to do is copy files (no real processing), the Copy Files build phase already knows how to locate the app bundle's proper folders depending on what you're copying (Resources, Frameworks, etc.).
