Path of included file

So I have 2 projects and they share some common code.   Project1 is C:\Project1\one.pjs. It has a script file projOneLib.js Project2 is C:\Project2\two.pjs. It has 2 script files. One is projTw...

    Why can't you put your source code somewhere to the static path which doesn't include version number? It would simplify your work.

     

    Anyway, if that is not possible, you have at least two options:

    1. Take the version from any external source (like registry, file info, source control output, etc.). I am not aware about your specific situation, but usually there are different ways how you can get the same info from different places.
    2. Probably the simpler way: use FileFiles Method to search for the desired file.

Hmmm

 

So lets say 

App1 - C:\Projects\App1\v1.3.2\scripts\Unit.js

App2 - C:\Projects\App2\v.2.3.1\scripts\Unit2.js

 

So in App2, I included a script from App1. Problem is in Unit.js, it doesn't know that it actually belongs to "App1." So Even I go back to the projects folder (that they share), I wouldn't know how to proceed into App1 folder. Unless in App1 Unit.js itself, I hard-code something like dir=App1... but that doesnt work when we include git versions unless we update the hard-code each time.

 

The last way I could think of is provide a soft link in the directory to the latest version. And in App1 Unit.js I hard-code App1\latest and it can redirect to the latest v... but its so round-about.

 

Thanks

      If you put it in the static path, once you check it back into git, you still need to change the version numbers.

       

      Because dependencies are different. If you have 8 Apps, and you update App1, you want the other Apps that depend on App1 to still use the previous version of App1. Some Apps will update faster than others, so the dependencies can get quite intricate. Currently thats being handled via cfg files. 

       

      I'll handle the file paths via cfg files for now too. I haven't looked at "FileFiles" but I'll take a look at that to see if its a good usecase.

       

      Thanks!
