generate assets from command line

Mon Oct 24, 2022 1:35 pm

Hi everyone,

is it possible to trigger the action "generate" to generate assets from the command line or per script?

Thank you in advance,
Federica

Hello Federica,

I'm afraid this is not supported as for now.

I have, however, added this on our TODO list of improvements and hopefully this will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Hello Federica,

I have discussed this with our developer and we do not really see a use-case where you would need this.

If possible, could you please give us some more details about why would you need that option? Perhaps a use-case, that would really help.

Best regards,

We are using Jenkins for continuous development. We have our Advanced Installer project in a mono-repo together with the rest of our application. We have nightly builds that create the installer. We do not want to push all the generated assets to our git history because it would be an overkill. We have the original ICO files though. Right now the installer cannot be generated because the generated assets are missing. We would like to generate the assets from the ICO files during our nightly build if they are missing or if they got changed from the previous build.

Do you have any suggestions for how to cover our use case with the current features of Advanced Installer?

Hello Federica,

Thank you for your followup on this!

I'm afraid not.

As previously mentioned, I have already added this on our TODO list of improvements. However, it has a low priority on our developer's list as you are the only customer who ever requested this. Once more customers will request this, I will increase the priority.

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,
