Code versioning via command line

Fri Jan 04, 2013 8:56 am

Hello,

ECL IDE allows for code versioning of queries in the repository, which is nice when working with MS Windows. Is it possible to get those same code versioning functionalities with command line tools (for those not working mainly on Windows) ?

Thanks, Thierry.

What tools do you currently use to edit ECL within the repository?

My daily working environment is unix and I submit my queries to my Thor cluster via eclplus.

Now I need to integrate my development in a repository. I do that with ECLIDE, but then keeping my sources synchronized between my windows machine and my unix environment is not so seamless. This is why I have this question about code versioning with the command line, so that I would be able to use only the one working env.

thanks,

Thierry.

Ok, just to clarify (more for others who may be reading this):
You are using a version of HPCC-Platform that still uses the integrated remote repository (which is not available in the OSS version, as it uses local ECL files and traditional source control systems).

1. There used to be a command line tool (similar to eclplus) as part of the platform build which allowed import/export of attributes (but I am not sure if it supported the version feature).
2. You could run ECLIDE under wine (see viewtopic.php?f=9&t=81 make sure you read page 2 as well).
3. You could use AMT to import/export attributes (but again it is a windows application).
4. You can roll your own tools using the SOAP interface (Look at http://IP_OF_YOUR_ESP_SERVER:8145/WsAttributes/)

Thanks for these points. I will look at the fourth. I tried ECLIDE with wine, but the experience was bad, and I gave up.

If you are going down that route (and if you happen to be an elipse/java person), you may want to look at: https://github.com/hpcc-systems/EclipsePlugin

It deliberately does not officially support the remote repository (but does include the SOAP stubs for it and also contains a very simple "Import From Repository" Wizard).
