Batch "publish" of all projects at once
« on: January 10, 2025, 09:47:39 pm »
Using <Project> <Publish Project> Lazarus allows the creation of a folder that contains a "sanitized" version of the project currently open in the Lazarus IDE. My question is... Is there a way via command line or Windows batch file or any other way that I can publish all 50 projects in my "Laz_Projects" folder to say (for instance) a "Laz_Published_projects" folder so that I don't have to do all 50 projects individually?

TIA

The IDE doesn't provide this in the command line interface. You can call it with "-h" and see for yourself. I don't see such a feature in Project Groups either (not in the article, not in the IDE).

I think it's worth creating such a feature request on the bug tracker. In general, Project Groups currently lacks a lot of functionality... Maybe I'll even try to write a patch.

But in the best case, all this will be in a new version of Lazarus. If you need a solution right now, you can write a small package for this purpose (which will add such a command line parameter). I tried writing a draft, and it seems to work. If you really need it, I can share.

EDIT: Creating a project group from a specified folder (recursively) is already possible.

All publish does is (possibly clean the directory and) make a list of necessary files and zip them up You need a list of necessary file types, might need a bit of thinking I suppose -
pas, pp, lfm, inc, ico, lpi, lpr, res, ....

Pretty simple script, but a bash script would not help you, that is all I could contribute.

Bonus marks if it did not not need the previous zip removed, instead, date stamp the zip file. Make sure the date stamp is sort-able.

The "publish" feature also clears debug info, bookmarks, jump history, etc. Most of this is stored in LPS, but it may also be stored in LPI, depending on the settings.

In any event, the more I use the projects group facility the more I like it.
