Any ideas to automate the publication ? [message #36588]

Hi all,

We develop our own library using EPF and we tried to publish daily to
get some feedbacks...

This publication can be seen as a build for us as we are developping
processes.

To perform a limited continous integration, we have at least to
succesfully automate this daily build.

One solution should be to do it using a robot script that capture the
user click and replay them.

I personnally prefer if it is possible to launch EPF from a script (in
Perl for instance) with some parameters to perform this publication.

Is it possible ? May be it is as I am a complete begginer in Eclipse !!!

Thanks in advance for any ideas

Best Regards

You could write an eclipse plugin for EPF Composer that would use a timer to
trigger the publication process. Downside would be that you need to keep
EPFC running.

Hi, I'm still not worried about automatic site generation as I'm still
dealing with content authoring.
Anyway, I fully support the possibility of running epf from the shell with
parameters to generate the website! Maybe this could be a feature request.

Best regards,
André

Hi,
I have used the command-line publishing plugin for automating publishing of sites see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=148030

I haveintegrated this into EPF wiki code base at http://epf.eclipse.org. All that is required is a bit of scripting. As an example

I check out a specific tag from the CVS repository
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology co -r #{tag} #{self.relative_path}

Or I check content at a specific time
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology co -D \"#{bp.co_and_publish_on.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %I:%M")}\" #{self.relative_path}

Then I publish the content using the command-line feature

java -jar #{ENV['EQUINOX_JAR_PATH']} -data #{ENV['EPF_WORKSPACE']} -nosplash -application org.eclipse.epf.publishing.cmdline.Publish -libraryPath #{bp.path_library}/#{self.relative_path} -publishPath #{bp.path} -config #{self.name} -about #{bp.path_library}/#{self.relative_path}publish.all_epf_prac tices.base/resources/about_practices.htm -feedback mailto:epf-dev@eclipse.org -glossary -publishUnverifiedDiagrams -title \"EPF Practices\" -os linux -arch x86 -ws gtk
