-----------------------------------
Summary: Support a CLI command to format vault xml files
Key: JCRVLT-271
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-271
Project: Jackrabbit FileVault
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Misc
Reporter: Dirk Rudolph
In our projects we work with vlt IDE integrations (Intellij and Eclpise) to
have a easy and feature rich development process. On the other hand there are
situations where we are writing vlt xml files manually. To not have huge diffs
of formatting changes we tend to commit those vlt xml files formatted in the
way as they are produced by exporting the corresponding nodes from a remote
repository.
Unfortunately the format can not fully be achieved by formatting using the
build in xml formatters of the IDE, nor am I aware of any tooling that would
allow us to check the formatting using lets say a commit hook or maven plugin.
So the common approach we use at the moment is to push and afterwards pull
nodes to or from the remote repository.
To improve that, only formatting the local files with the format the export
uses is much more efficient and can also be automated.
This is a proposal to introduce a _format_ command for the vlt-cli that:
* accepts a list of file patterns that should be processed in the current
directory tree
* formats each file included by the patterns or
* checks if the file is in the right format and fails if not with a list of
all malformed files
This can then be used to:
* automatically format by cli invocation
* validate the format during build or as pre commit hook
