QxEntityEditor 1.2.8 just released !
Here is the changes log :
- New export plugin 'QxEESourceControlExport' : export a *.qxee QxEntityEditor project file to a list of JSON files which can be easily check-in in a source control repository (Git, Perforce, CVS, etc...)
- New import plugin 'QxEESourceControlImport' : import a list of JSON files (generated using 'QxEESourceControlExport' export plugin) inside a *.qxee QxEntityEditor project file
- These 2 new plugins allow a team development to work simultaneously on a same *.qxee QxEntityEditor project file
- A typical workflow could be (with 2 developers named dev A and dev B) :
* dev A and dev B work on a same *.qxee QxEntityEditor project file
* dev A create/modify/change some entities in QxEntityEditor application
* dev B create/modify/change other entities in QxEntityEditor application
* dev A and dev B export the *.qxee project file using the new 'QxEESourceControlExport' export plugin
* Once exported, dev A and dev B check-in the JSON files inside the source control manager (Git, Perforce, CVS, etc...) on their own branch
* dev A and dev B integrate from their own branch to the DEV (or MAIN or MASTER) branch (if there are some conflicts to resolve, it should be easy because JSON files are easy to read and understand)
* dev A and dev B can now get latest JSON files from the DEV (or MAIN or MASTER) branch : these JSON files contain both modifications from dev A and dev B
* dev A and dev B can import these JSON files inside QxEntityEditor application using the new 'QxEESourceControlImport' import plugin
- These 2 new plugins can be executed using command line (like all other QxEntityEditor plugins), here are 2 examples :
* Export : QxEntityEditor --no_gui --project="C:\Temp\qxBlog.qxee" --plugin=QxEESourceControlExport --QxEESourceControlExport_path="C:\Temp\source_control\"
* Import : QxEntityEditor --no_gui --project="C:\Temp\qxBlog.qxee" --plugin=QxEESourceControlImport --QxEESourceControlImport_path="C:\Temp\source_control\qxBlog.qxee.export.json"
