Syncing Files with AI

Hello,

As we work towards CI/CD, I am looking for a way to help our developers identify files that are on disk in a artifacts directory that have not been referenced in the installer. This is helpful so that when building the MSI we won't forget key dependencies for different components of our applications we bundle.

Do you have any recommendations to solve this? My initial thought would be to write a PowerShell script that parsing the .AI file and compare against an artifact DIR and only list files not referenced in the AI.

Thanks!

Re: Syncing Files with AI

Hi and welcome to our forums.

In order to achieve what you need you can synchronize one folder from your project with that artifacts directory from your disk. For this, you can use the "Synchronize Folder" built-in support.

Let me know if this helped, otherwise give me more details about your scenario.
