Re: Methods, Components, Comments, and Tooltips

I have asked for - repeatedly - 4D to give us an automated means to "fix" this. http://forums.4d.fr/Post/EN/8282868/1/8282870#8282870 (15 votes from 2012) Basically - a means to change unchanged object names (variable1, Field3 etc) to AT LEAST the variable name, but with an option to pre/post

Re: Methods, Components, Comments, and Tooltips

I recently embarked on an automated testing project and implemented the advantages you mention by automatically generating *one* project method per form that contains all of the object method and form method code. The only other task was to create wrappers for Form event and OBJECT Get pointer

RE: Methods, Components, Comments, and Tooltips

Kirk, Interesting approach. And your remark about deleted methods rings a bell ... > Something this won't catch that Josh's VC did is deleted methods... Yes, the vc-framework handles deleted methods for export. It means if I delete a method in 4D the former exported text file with the code is

Re: Methods, Components, Comments, and Tooltips

Tom I handle forms in my version control. I use a method to get all form objects into an object-its an object of my own format…here is a sample below. Pretty extensive. I have code to pack and unpack the form objects so i can compare current version of a form with the last one (not using diff)

RE: Methods, Components, Comments, and Tooltips

Hi Nigel, basically I'm interested, we are following a similar approach. I should explain it a bit. At first we use a modified version of the mentioned vc-framework component. It saves all changes in the code to text files immediately and keeps track of the timestamps of the changes in an

Actually there is code analysis component free Dani Beaubien And Archive Method(?) commercial it's foundation App Store Robert Livingston You should be able to find them with those details. I've used both but I prefer Code Analysis component. . Cheers Wayne On Thu, 20 Apr 2017 at 20:37,

Luiz I have a nice set of code that exports the code, including the forms(as objects),and all the database settings including table structure, and maintains a history(in an external database) of everything using a modified DIFF . I would be happy to give you a copy of my component(including

Forgot to say specificallyyou can do a whole lot of Very Good Things with an integrated code scanner. Things that the 4D compiler does not do, and much more: * Check that method names passed as strings are valid. * Check that parameter lists are not too long or too short. * Confirm that

First up, thanks to Wayne for starting this thread and for being a Good Citizen and providing code to match. Also thanks to Bruno for expanding the context for talking about automatic documentation. As it turns out, this is all related to one of my more recent proof-of-concept pieces. (For the
