INFO

Source

  1. Clone the source down to your machine. git clone git://github.com/phatboyg/Fooidity.git
  2. Download git, ruby and gems. Install – a tutorial is here
  3. gem install rake albacore
  4. Important: Run rake global_version in order to generate the SolutionVersion.cs file which is otherwise missing.
    • You must have git on the path in order to do this. (Right click on Computer > Advanced System Settings, Advanced (tab) > Environment Variables... > Append the git executable's directory at the end of the PATH environment variable.
  5. Edit with Visual Studio 2012 or alternatively edit and run rake. rake help displays all possible tasks that you can run. The package task, is what the build server does.
  6. The default is .NET 4.0.

Editing in Visual Studio

  1. Run rake global_version in the root folder.
  2. Set Visual Studio Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> Tabs to use "Tab Size" = 4, "Indent Size" = 4, and "Insert Spaces"
  3. Double-click/open the .sln file.

Editing the rake script

  • Getting an overview: rake help
  • Getting descriptions of the tasks: rake -P
  • Read some articles; currently we need help with environments configuration and reducing the noise in tasks by making the files FileTask-s themselves. Some of this stuff is discussed here.

In general you should define your tasks to have the least number of dependencies to function. Paths should be placed in the props dictionary at the start of the rake file.

REQUIREMENTS

To run the build, rake and .NET 4.0 are required. To open the solution, you must have Visual Studio 2012.
