$workspace_name built-in variable?

(1/3) > >>

fabrizio.benedetti:
I need a $workspace_name variable... is there a built-in variable providing the workspace name (as there is a $project_name variable)? If not, is there anything I can do to work around it?

Ciao!

fabrizio.benedetti:
  Is it possible to register a script that C::B would execute on loading a Workspace? And, can the script get the workspace name and set a variable?

...or:

  can I use script expansion where I need to obtain the Workspace name? [[ print(GetProjectManager().GetWorkspace().GetTitle()); ]] (but seems that no method exists to obtain the title of the current workspace)

fabrizio.benedetti:
  I added the following built-in macros:

WORKSPACE_FILE, WORKSPACE_FILENAME, WORKSPACE_FILE_NAME, WORKSPACEFILE, WORKSPACEFILENAME
WORKSPACENAME, WORKSPACE_NAME
WORKSPACE_DIR, WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY, WORKSPACEDIR, WORKSPACEDIRECTORY

The attached patch shows my changes.

Ciao!

though I haven't looked at the path (yet) sounds interesting, I would suggest to have jut one name for each variable, just like the other ones in CB, using the same style.

  Actually, I dubbed the CB style for the project variables, which are provided in a number of variations (MacrosManager::RecalcVars()):

PROJECT_FILE, PROJECT_FILENAME, PROJECT_FILE_NAME, PROJECTFILE, PROJECTFILENAME
PROJECTNAME, PROJECT_NAME
PROJECT_DIR, PROJECT_DIRECTORY, PROJECTDIR, PROJECTDIRECTORY
PROJECT_TOPDIR, PROJECT_TOPDIRECTORY, PROJECTTOPDIR, PROJECTTOPDIRECTORY

  Maybe these could be reduced to just one name too.

Ciao!
