Updating Global Variables and Equates with SCM March 13, 2009 03:23AM |
Hi,
Have just started using WinDev with another developer, and we are managing our code updates through SCM (Source Code Manager).
All seems good, except for the fact that we are having a lot of trouble sharing the Main Project file (.WPP). Every time one of us makes a change, the other developer is quite often not receiving the changes, despite the fact that we are getting the latest version of all of the Project elements.
Has anybody else encountered this problem ? If so, what have you done to work around this issue ?
Regards,
Justin

Hi Justin...
For the global element (project code, ADDING a window to the project
(registered in the project file), etc), you should:
- become master
- do the changes
- become guest
- ask the other developer to become master then guest
- OR -
- tell the other developper to use the gest the master version
The 1rst one is working all the time, the second should work (but I'm
generally sticking to th other one)
And believe me, I'm really sorry I haven't found anything more PRACTICAL
Best regards

Justin:
If you have WD 12, there is another option:
Manage the Project checkout automatically
This way, the project is handled as if it were antoher window, you should see the orange banner in the project view.
The only problem I have seen using this option is that the changes made by another programmer not always are being detected as new for you, so WD does not compile them, and when you run this code it seems like if the code is not there, you can tell, when you run a window and the buttons does nothing when clicked.
This is easily fixed by compiling all the project, or compiling just that window, I was told by PcSoft to delete the cpl subdirectory, but compiling does the same effect.
Hope it helps.
