BuildComponent

Managing of build process at runtime. And similar operations for projects and solution.

Available operations

cancel

To immediately cancel the build task if it's possible.

Syntax:

void cancel = boolean

Sample:

#[Build cancel = true]

projects

Work with configuration manager of projects through SolutionContexts.

find()

To find project by name. It compares part of name, therefore you can use simply like a "ZenLib" or full name "Zenlib\ZenLib.vcxproj" etc.

Syntax:

#[Build projects.find("name")]

IsBuildable

Gets or Sets. Whether the project or item configuration of project can be built. Associated with current SolutionContext.

Syntax:

#[Build projects.find("name").IsBuildable = false|true|1|0]
#[Build projects.find("name").IsBuildable]

Sample:

#[(#[Build projects.find("ZenLib").IsBuildable]){
    Buildable
}]

#[Build projects.find("ZenLib").IsBuildable = false]

IsDeployable

Gets or Sets. Whether the current project or item configuration of project can be deployed. Associated with current SolutionContext.

Syntax:

#[Build projects.find("name").IsDeployable = false|true|1|0]
#[Build projects.find("name").IsDeployable]

Sample:

#[(#[Build projects.find("ZenLib").IsDeployable]){
    Buildable
}]

#[Build projects.find("ZenLib").IsDeployable= false]

type

available with v0.12+

Get type of current build action, or last used type if it already finished.

Syntax:

enum #[Build type]

Note: allowed types you can see here

solution

available with v0.12.4+

Work with solution data.

current

Link to current used solution.

Syntax:

#[Build solution.current]

path()

Use specific solution from selected path.

Syntax:

#[Build solution.path(string sln)]

Arguments:

• sln - Full path to solution file.

First

First project in Project Build Order.

Syntax:

Project #[Build solution.path(string sln).First]

Return type is a Project

Samples:

#[Build solution.current.First.path]
#[Build solution.path("D:\tmp\app.sln").First.guid]

Last

Last project in Project Build Order.

Syntax:

Project #[Build solution.path(string sln).Last]

Return type is a Project

FirstRaw

First project from defined list. Ignores used Build type.

Syntax:

Project #[Build solution.path(string sln).FirstRaw]

Return type is a Project

LastRaw

Last project from defined list. Ignores used Build type.

Syntax:

Project #[Build solution.path(string sln).LastRaw]

Return type is a Project

GuidList

Get list of project Guids. In direct order of definition.

Syntax:

List #[Build solution.path(string sln).GuidList]

Return type is a List of projects guids, for example:

{73919171-44B6-4536-B892-F1FCA653887C},{4262A1DC-768F-43CC-85F5-A4ED9CD034CC},{A7BF1F9C-F18D-423E-9354-859DC3CFAFD4}, ...

projectBy

Get project by Guid string.

Project #[Build solution.path(string sln).projectBy(string guid)]

Arguments:

• sln - Full path to solution file.
• guid - Identifier of project.

Return type is a Project

Samples:

#[Build solution.path("D:\vsSolutionBuildEvent_2013.sln").projectBy("{97F0E2FF-42DB-4506-856D-8694DD99F827}").name]
