Custom pre-synchronization action?

[immcintosh]

Is there currently a way to specify actions to be executed before the file synchronization stage of a Linux project?  I’d like to run a script whenever a build is run to generate some versioning information that would itself be deployed as part of the deployment stage.  I’m using the “Copy source files to remote machine method,” and unfortunately all the custom build steps seem to be run after the copy.

Hi,

The easiest way to achieve that would be to disable the normal source uploading and then do it via a custom pre-build action after running your script. If this does not work, please let us know.

Thanks, that would work, although it sacrifices a lot of the convenience.  Can I register a feature request of adding an “Actions before synchronization” item to the custom build steps?

Hi,

Sure, we will add this to the next maintenance release of VisualGDB 5.2.

OK, we have added it to this build: http://sysprogs.com/files/tmp/VisualGDB-5.2.13.1294.msi

Great support, thanks, does just what I needed.
