Hi,

The real problem is that you can't attach a script with more than 10 lines while running a standalone app, so RunRev would have to be installed on the QA machine, which is far from ideal.

All the Best

Hi,

There are a number of reasons to extract the Scripts of RunRev Objects into seperate text files:

1. We have to check files into a Source Database (Source Control System) and Binary Files are not handlied that well.
<snip>
6 We want to write an "include" file pre-processor that grabs functions from a Common Include file.

There are more reasons that this, but these are the main ones off the top of my head!

Those sound to me like good reasons. But the question is whether the associating of scripts to objects *needs* to be done within a standalone executable ?

At first glance, it seems feasible to achieve all (or very nearly all) of those objectives with a system like :

- scripts are kept in the database
- when it is time to release, a "build" script collects the scripts from the database and sets them into the script of the various objects
- the standalone builder is then run to create the standalone.

That would seem to get 5 out of the 6 issues covered cleanly, and could still be usable (with slight inconvenience) by QA to rebuild with earlier script versions. If that was a critical issue, you could (easily?) provide a mechanism to allow multiple versions of the scripts to be attached, with a run-time selection between them, for QA investigative usage.
