Project Relocation

Hi

I looked at the wyBuild update file and have had releases using this since 2009, and it's a really awesome piece of software

thing is now i've got over 2GB of compiled files (all in their version folders)E.g.C:\Release\Version 1C:\Release\Version 2C:\Release\Version 3 ...C:\Release\Version 50

the original wyp file refers to the locations as:C:\Programming\Projects\My Project\Release\Version 1

Is there some way to programmatically (or editing the .wyp file) to get the file paths to point to the correct paths, or would i need to re-create the .wyp file (one heck of a job because of how many releases i've got)

Thanks in AdvanceDavid-John Miller

We've fixed this problem in our 2.7 branch of wyBuild (coming in about 1 and a half months) to use relative paths instead of absolute paths. That is, you'll be able to move the project & the files without having to re-add your files.

In the meantime the only real solution is to either delete the files from within your wyBuild project then drag the new files in. Or use the wyBuild commandline to replace your existing versions with the changed versions.

Neither choice is ideal, I know.

Hi Sam

Yeah, either way is really not an option

is there a utility to convert the wyp file into XML or something so i can edit it with a script? (i could even modify the wyp file with a script if i knew it would work right)

Thanks

Yes, you could modify the wyp project files -- but it's probably more work than it's worth. We use a binary file format (documented here) for speed reasons.
