Hi, I am having real trouble getting Flex Builder to work with multiple
developers here at work. User and project settings are stored in the
same file, so the files, .actionScriptProperties, .flexProperties and
.project can't be submitted to SVN. The problem comes because when we
build, we want to build to 2 different folders on a server, e.g.

 

http://myserver/flex/mark - me

http://myserver/flex/ian - workmate

 

The reason we can't both output to the same directory is one would
overwrite the other's changes during testing, which is no use as it
means only one developer can work in Flex at a time. And we must use a
central server because it hooks up to WebServices which are hosted on
the same machine.

 

I've noticed I can use symbolic links and have made a link for
OUTPUTFOLDER - X:\flex\mark - BUT I can't make one for the output folder
URL - it says the path doesn't exist (it is trying to find it on the
file system). I have also tried using environment variables (%me%) in
the paths - but Flex Builder doesn't seem to expand these out - even
though Internet Explorer does.

 

 

So - how can I configure the output folder, the output folder URL and
the launch URLs for different users?

 

As a final note - The current setup involves running a batch file after
you have checked out the repository, this copies the project files from
a set of templates which are stored in SVN, the actual projects files
aren't committed which means developers are free to change the values.
However, the trouble comes when I need to add a reference to another
project. I must tell all the other developers to add a reference too!!

 

Any help on this subject is much appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Mark
