We run a tight ship at my company. Code is unit tested, and upon check-in to version control, the code is tested and built into a last-good-build. CoronaSDK breaks this process for us as there isn’t a way to automate the build process. With our Android SDK apps, we have automated build, test, and deploy to hardware devices. With a command line build process we could achieve similar results with Corona. [import]uid: 21649 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 306194[/import]
I completely agree, I’ve been searching the docs for this but cannot find anything. It would be tremendously helpful if the build process could be automated. [import]uid: 43692 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 27764[/import]
Our team is just starting to look into this as well and agree with the above. We need a way to automate nightly builds so the rest of our team can test with the latest. [import]uid: 8692 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 29120[/import]
This would be extremely useful in Corona. [import]uid: 8545 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 29126[/import]
+1 Also, it would be great if the builds were faster so the dev, build, test loop was faster. The Corona simulator is great, but testing on the device is where I can be certain things are working. Command line builds + faster builds gets us two big steps closer to continuous deployment. [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 29594[/import]
Any update on this? This is still a highly desired feature for an improved workflow with Corona. [import]uid: 8692 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 35156[/import]
Can anyone from the Ansca team comment on this? The feature would be very welcome!
Thanks

There is no doubt this would be a productivity boost for many teams using Corona.
Corona team already mentioned they had it in mind, about a year ago: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/02/09/new-command-line-parameter-not-really-working#comment-23403
Waiting for it to be available, I was trying recently to play with the buildfile inside the Corona.app. See: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2010/12/20/command-line-building#comment-42768

need it as well [import]uid: 11772 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 66410[/import]
I will bring this up in our next meeting.

Triggering a build for target platform (like Iphone) via commandline is quite essential. Are there any news to this topic ?
[import]uid: 105746 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 68898[/import]
I too would like to see some command line based tool one could use to build the apps with.
Would also be usefull in the way that one could connect this to other programming tools too. Like building from the IDE of ones choice.
Any news on this? [import]uid: 53069 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 72209[/import]
I have added one click build automation to my workflow. It works well enough to not have to wait for Ansca to deliver it: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/10/03/build-automation [import]uid: 67363 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 72295[/import]
Yes, I’ve decided on setting up something similar using some other automation tool and it seems to work. But I still hope this way of building will become a part of the Corona package as it’s an important feature imo. [import]uid: 53069 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 72368[/import]
+1 how about local builds [import]uid: 5942 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 84057[/import]
Command line tools is most demanded feature for our team now.
I hope Ansca make it availible as soon as possible! [import]uid: 131398 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 90692[/import]

We are using a build cluster for all purposes and almost everything is running headless… So CLI support is essential.
I think zeeero.coool’s solution is neat but is really not feasible to use something like this in an enterprise environment with loads of projects where you need a high level of automation.

I’ll +1 this too, but more importantly I’d like to see the “No spaces in directory names” limit fixed. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 6194 reply_id: 93530[/import]
