Compile Forms on a Unix Machine (check for errors in any of the files)
Hello there,
Our organization is wrapping up the development phase and beginning our testing phase. I am responsible for the Configuration Management of our forms, menus, libraries, and reports.
We develop our code in a Windows environment (including compilation check), then we FTP the source files to a unix environment, then we compile the forms on a unix environment. We have this process down pretty well (for a couple of files at a time).
Now we would like to automate our "build" procedure. This process involves the following tasks.
1.) Extract all the source files from our vault software (PVCS)
2.) FTP all the source files to the UNIX environment
3.) Compile all the source files on the UNIX environment
4.) Test the Software on the UNIX application server
We have all of the above working (if no compilation errors occur). I am not sure how to check if any of the files errored during compilation. How can I check to see if any errors occurred during the UNIX source code compilation? I know how to do this manually (look at the output and see if the module compiled), but we are compiling approximately 200 files during our release build process. Maybe some sort of send the compilation results to an output file then search for any files that contain "not generated" (I assume if an error is generated, the text will be displayed to the user).
Is there an easy way to check if any of the forms, menus, libraries, or reports errored during the "automatic" compilation process?
Thanks,
Mike
