Modifying modules inside a solution

Classic Servoy

Hello,

would it be possible to allow that modules can be modified inside a solution? In my case, I am developing a module that uses many graphical form elements, global methods etc. from the main solution. Right now I sit here copying & pasting methods and element properties to a text editor, changing the solution to go to the module, go back to the main solution and so forth.

If there is no serious technical restriction that does not allow editing modules inside solution I think this should be possible. I can see many situations where you find a little thing that has to be fixed in a module. You will always have to leave the solution, modifiy the module and come back to see your changes.

Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

There are VERY SERIOUS reasons for not allowing modifying of modules within a solution: if we allowed it - then we’re in no better place then we are today in regards to multi-developer development.

Here’s something you can do to “ease the pain”: open more than one instance of Developer. You can have your combined solution in one instance, and use the other instance to modify the module(s). Then you would reload the main solution after you made a change to one of the modules (close and re-open).

Hope this helps.
