Improved source code control to text program for use with Visual FoxPro's IDE.

38236

This new and improved version of the source code control to text program was developed years ago by ProLib and released for all Visual FoxPro developers to have a better source code control experience. Jürgen Wondzinski, aka "wOOdy", is the project manager for this project.

There are several improvements made to the original SCCText.prg included in Visual FoxPro:
  • Consistent and case insensitive sorting of methods, objects, and properties
  • Corrects several bugs in the original version shipped from Microsoft
  • Optimizations
  • German, Spanish and French localizations
This routine has been in the Fox Community for many years now and is accepted as the "better standard" by Fox developers around the world.

Guys is there anything that can be done with the fact that once you start using this new version of SCCText and compare the differences to a history item, everything is different because of the order of things? Therefore trying to compare versions that were produced with the old & new SCCText is kind of useless.

Is this more of a going forward thing?

When the project is rebuilt all classes and forms etc.. are modified and marked as checked-out but text files generated by SccTextX are still read-only so on check-in I have a lot of requests to overwrite these files.
How can be solved?
Maybe you could add a flag "overwrite all"?
Or there is workaround?

Hi Amariottini, this behaviour should also show up with the original Scctext, thus it's not a bug from that newer version.
But I see your point. Will play with that problem and try to implement some additional functionality.

Yes, this is by design but maybe this could be enhanced.
By now I solved commenting out the read-only check and simply let SccTextX to overwrite any text file.
Another problem with VFP integration with source control systems is that after a rebuild of the project all forms, classes, etc.. become checked-out so I have to re-check-in all of them spending a lot of time and changing without need the version number (and growing repository). This is a very bad behavior, I know that build modify the vcx and/or vct files but the source code is not touched, so why other developers have to see them as modified? Is there any workaround for this?
There are very few informations in internet about VFP and source control systems integration so I'll appreciate any suggestions.
