Hi there,
I have a question.
Do I understand correctly that if I check the option “Build Yak Package” when creating a new Plugin, it will always create a Yak-Package when building the solution, using the information stored in the projects properties (version, autor, …)?
If so, is there a way to add this option once the project was created?
I simply forgot to check this option and I think it would be quite comfortable to have this created automatically.
Thanks,
T.
Yep, this option simply adds this snippet to the end of the .csproj, so you can copy/paste into your project afterwards:
<Target Name="BuildYakPackage" AfterTargets="DispatchToInnerBuilds">
<PropertyGroup>
<YakExecutable Condition="$(YakExecutable) == '' and $([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform(windows)) and Exists('C:\Program Files\Rhino 8\System\Yak.exe')">C:\Program Files\Rhino 8\System\Yak.exe</YakExecutable>
<YakExecutable Condition="$(YakExecutable) == '' and $([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform(macos)) and Exists('/Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/yak')">/Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/yak</YakExecutable>
<BuildYakPackage Condition="$(BuildYakPackage) == '' and $(YakExecutable) != '' and Exists($(YakExecutable))">True</BuildYakPackage>
</PropertyGroup>
<Warning Text="Could not find Yak executable" Condition="$(YakExecutable) == ''" />
<ItemGroup>
<YakPackagesToDelete Include="$(OutputPath)\*.yak;$(OutputPath)\**\manifest.yml" />
</ItemGroup>
<Delete Files="@(YakPackagesToDelete)" />
<Exec Command=""$(YakExecutable)" spec" WorkingDirectory="$(OutputPath)" Condition="$(BuildYakPackage) == 'True'" />
<Exec Command=""$(YakExecutable)" build" WorkingDirectory="$(OutputPath)" Condition="$(BuildYakPackage) == 'True'" />
</Target>
Hope this helps!
I was trying this option today and see two issue:
multi-target project, only rh8 yak file was copied to the root bin folder, the rh7 is in net48 folder and not copied out.yak.exe.
