Sharing Other Files?

Classic Servoy
1

Hi

Is it possible to manage other (not Servoy) files with the Servoy Team Server? I thought I heard this being said at the Camp.

I use Servoy 4.1.4.

Thanks
Birgit

Hi Birgit,

I think what you are refering to is the method of putting (Jasper Report) files inside the modules as ‘media’.
Since it’s part of the solution/module it will end up in the Servoy Team Server when you commit it.

But like Johan said it’s better to share/commit those files seperatly to an SVN server.

Hi Birgit,

If you want to store and share (via SVN) non-servoy files in your workspace you can do this via the Project Explorer view.
It’s like a filemanager for your workspace.
You just create a new (general) project (right-click in the view). This will create a new folder of the type ‘Project’.
Then you can drag the files in here (via this Project Explorer view) and they get copied into your workspace.
Do this via this view because it creates some meta data in the workspace I believe.
Now you can share this project by right-clicking on it, selecting Team > Share Project, etc.

After this the other developers need to checkout this ‘project’ and you keep committing the changes back.

Hope this helps.

There’s not even a need to create a separate project for this!

You can actually create a subfolder inside a solution and SVN will be using them as well (just make sure the files are checked when you commit, or use the ‘Add to version control…’ option from the Team menu.

We keep all the docs/schema/specs etc… in a subfolder of our main solution and it works like a charm!

can you add a folder to another (svn) team provider if the project itself is shared by servoy team provider?
I dont think that will work that easy.

Best thing is to go svn all the way including servoy solutions

Thanks for explaining this. And yes, Robert, it’s really the Jasper Report Files I was thinking about.

So far we only use Servoy Team Server and not subversive. I can add Files and Folders and Project to my workspace. I can share them, I can commit, they look synchronized but are probably not written to the repository since I can never check them out again.

Thank you and best regards
Birgit
