How do you setup with a build server?

I am after adding our module to our build server and wanted to see what options are available or best way to do it?

We use VSTS but the building of software is done on our own build server.

Is there a java command line that can be invoked to kick of the build of the module. Could it be output to another location?

I can put eclipse with the CSIDE plugin on the build server but is there then a command that can be run to invoke the build?

Any ideas and options welcome thanks.

Hi Nick,

Currently we do not provide a tool for external developers to build outside eclipse UI. We addressed that issue and we are working on a build tool that can be easily integrated in any build script to build your module/ospaces. If you are interested in pre-release (demo) trial of it please reach out to Juliano Ghisi , he can arrange that ! a beta version is expected to be ready for external tests in couple of weeks.

Thanks

Hany - thanks for this - we're looking for same.

Can you advise best way to contact Juliano to initiate request for beta participation

Hello David,

Thanks for your interest.

We don't have final dates or additional information at this point. I will update this thread if this situation changes.

Cheers

Hi Juliano.

Thanks for the response. Appreciate that information and final dates may not be available at this stage - but are you able to share anything indicative re timing? The concept of a build server is one we've wanted for a long time, if we're looking at anything well beyond mid-2019, then at least I can temper expectations internally

Rgds,

David.

I would be happy to trial the Beta for sure.

We are looking to use Visual Studio Team Services. If your tool can be scipted using batch file or powershell then we can basically get it to work with VSTS.

My email address nick.furness@cadcap.com if you wish to reach out to me directly and go from there

Hi Juliano,

I caught a recording of the Partner Webinar Series re upcoming changes in CS16.2.8.

Has there been any progression on the "build server" functionality/concept either as part of or in relation to those changes?

Kind regards,

David.

Hi,

I would still like to know if there is anyway to invoke the build of the module via eclipse externally. For me it doesn't have to support any certain platform ... a simple powershell or dos command would be sufficient.

Hello everyone,

It is great to know that there is interest in this tool. This is still work in-progress, I will update this thread as soon as we have more information or defined dates.

Thanks

I am being presured to integrate the OLL build into our DevOps process. The sooner we can have a tool to integrate with with a build tool , the better.

The best would be a CLI tool that could be called from anywhere

This Tool is a great idea.

Thanks,

Clayton Paige

Hi Clayton,

Agree, this is something important and we are current looking at this as I mentioned above.

I will post as soon as we have any updates on this area.

Hi,

It has been pretty much 2 month since the last update. Is there any news on this? Is there any beta version we can help test and try?

It has been 6 months since we learned OT is working on something but we havent seen or heard anything since?

Is there anything more that can be told other than 'We are working on something'? I am sure you will get alot of keen interesting in trialing and testing a BETA version. My compnay being one of them ...

Has there been ANY progress on this?

It's something quite a few people would like to see.

Hi Richard,

Regrettably, I didn't get opportunity to catchup with Juliano at Enterprise World, but certainly attended one of the breakouts he was running. No direct mention of a build server or options.

I caught up with some other key OT people (1x Product Director and senior architect) and voiced same desire (need!). Hopefully, that makes way back to Juliano and team and we see some movement.

@Juliano - appreciate there's likely higher priorities with cloud/containerization etc.....but is there something that can be done to increase priority or at lock down a committed timeframe?

Regards,

David

Hope you're well. Any further updates on progress toward a build server / CI pipeline for Content Server module (and Smart UI) development.

As OT Cloud customers are onboarding, I'm sure numerous Solution Extension partners will be interested / have need to streamline release cycle.

Anything coming?
