SVNInside : development of another SVN plugin for CodeBlocks

(1/31) > >>

Hi everybody,

I am currently developping a CB plugin integrating svn version control to the CB environment. I already looked after the good work made in CBTortoiseSVN but i would like more control inside Codeblocks. I feel relatively limited about the obligation to use TortoiseSVN for everything, and adding svn AND TortoiseSVN would make one plugin to have too many dependencies, and redondancies between them.

I could have linked my plugin with the svn library only but i chose a third option because of the complexity of this library, and found an easy way to achieve that :
          by using svn command line and parsing its output to get infos about the success or the failure of the command.

 I don't claim that is the best way to achieve this but it's an easy way to get a good control inside Codeblocks. Futhermore, svn command line output is cleverly made to be parsed very easily(this solution is often used to make batch operations on a repository or a working copy with Perl scripts or other script languages).

You can get the last source code on svn at : http://tools.assembla.com/svn/SVNInside


[This list will be updated when major additions/modifications are made]

For the moment , SVNInside features are :
 
* a new tab in the project management notebook, containing a tree with the project files status
* a configuration dialog where you can set properties like login, password, svn path, etc. This tree is the nervous center of SVNInside, by right clicking you get a popup menu to do things like commit, revert, add files to the repository, lock-unlock files, etc... depending of their status
* a short addition to the codeblocks projects extensions node managed by SVNInside


Here is a screenshot of the new project management tab : the SVNInside tree



And i have a question to ask : i am trying to implement a way to block modifications on a file locked by another person. My wish is to add a msgbox when the cbEVT_EDITOR_MODIFIED event is sent that kind of file, asking for the user to choose among two options :

* continue modyfing the file locally as if it wasn't locked, despite the fact that it won't be able to be commited until it is unlocked
* revert the modification which generated the event and wait until the file it is unlocked
For the second option, i can't manage to undo the action just after the messazge box has been closed, i tried different ways :


--- Code: ---cbStyledTextCtrl* pControl = pEditor->GetControl();
if (pControl)
{
     //pControl->BeginUndoAction();    with those 2 lines commented or not
     pControl->Undo();
     //pControl->EndUndoAction();
}

--- End code ---

And i tried this:

--- Code: ---EditorBase* ed = Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager()->GetActiveEditor();
if (ed) ed->Undo();

--- End code ---

with no success, can someone help me about that ?
I must add that this project is currently under development and i would be happy to share my sources with anybody, to get feedback with my programming, my understanding of the wxWidgets or Code::Blocks APIs.

PS : sorry about my english if somethings appear obscure...

Jan van den Borst:
The new tab looks great.
Maybe we should join forces and make a svn plugin that is also working in non msw environments?

What a good idea!!

Porting this plugin to other platforms should not be very difficult, c++ stl is used when possible and all code is portable, the only part of it which is non portable for the moment is the class i implement to read console output (under Win32 that's not an easy task). I think reading svn console output under linux (or any other platform) should be easier.

If you are interested i can email you the sources.

I could have posted them on this forum but SVNInside is for the moment under development, working but too many features lack to be used daily.

Your last post made me realize that i totally forgotten to tell for which platform SVNInside is currently developped, for win32 yes but :

under Windows XP
with CodeBlocks revision 4503
on a Penitum Centrino DUO

Jan van den Borst:
Couldn't you setup a svn repository as I did on assembla?
