i need to add some packages to the final builder project using command line or any final builder project, but not manually.
right now i am doing manually like as below:
Open final builder window -> Click on Tools menu option-> Go to Package Manager option click on it, then you will find add button below that’s it select the package you want and press the check box.
but the above all the procedure i need to do using some .bat file or any final builder project or any programming using dll or classes support. please suggest me how to do it. I am using Finalbuilder Ver 4 ,Ver 5 ,Ver 6, all three versions i am using, please provide the solution in any version.
I just wanted to jump in and say I would be interested in better package management as well. I keep my custom actions under version control, but because we have multiple build servers, it's cumbersome to remember to load the custom actions each project requires. Some tie to the current project would be helpful. Maybe providing a search path and being able to specify a relative path to the custom action from the project would help. Similar to how references are handled in Visual Studio.
In FinalBuilder 6, all you need to do is put the custom action package in the ActionDefs folder, finalbuilder will automatically load any new action packages and add them to the known packages section in the FinalBuilder6.ini file.
Nelson, the biggest problem with saving references etc, is that for .NET actions the assemblies that implement the actions have to live in a subfolder of the application (unless they are gac installed)… this is a limitation of the .net CLR. We dod have a todo item to investigate saving references to packages in the project file, but that was more about being able to provide better reports on exactly which packages are missing when a project is loaded.
