buildtime​

b4x_cba will create a file called build.txt in the Files directory of your project with the current date/time. If you omit the date/time formats they will default to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

NOTE: Remember to sync the files after the first run.

updateversion​

b4x_cba will create a file called version.txt in the Files directory of your project with an incrementing version number in format 0.0.0-9.9.9

NOTE: Remember to sync the files after the first run.

#CustomBuildAction: folders ready, b4x_cba.exe, -action updateversion

Did you sync the files folder after 1. run? note that you probably should run buildtime once before you use updateversion. And do not forget sync.

I will do it tomorrow.My computer is at myoffice. Thank you for kind of you, DonManfred

@Theera

With "updateversion" it will attempt to parse an existing file if version.txt already exists. This can cause problems if the format is not X.X.X or the file is empty.

I believe the error is caused by an empty version.txt file. I have added logic to deal with this - new version is on https://github.com/ope-nz/b4x_cba

Also I see you are using "%WINDIR%\System32\b4x_cba.exe" for the path. It is tidier if you copy b4x_cba.exe to the install path of B4J etc. That way you can just omit the path

#CustomBuildAction: folders ready, b4x_cba.exe, -action updateversion

Note, the sync is only required to get rid of the warning #17 in B4X. This doesnt affect the operation of the tool.

Hi tchart,
Your b4x_cba.exe is exe file for crossplatform,so I copied it as the same folder as Erel's folder as my b4xtemplate file. My code is incorrect,isn't it?

Hi Theera.

That error is expected. It is the way Erel suggested to stop the ide from running the project - the way it’s done it to return a deliberate error. That’s why it is done last. Less of an issue for b4a and b4i.

Your path is fine if you are using it for all platforms.

'Ctrl + click to increment version: ide://run?File=b4x_cba.exe&Args=-action&Args=updateversion

Your code has the problem, you have to change as belows

'Ctrl + click to increment version: ide://run?file=b4x_cba.exe&args=-action&Args=updateversion

It will be worked, but I have some problemabout coding in another thread. Please helpme.

Not clear on what the problem is. Did you just make some of the command lower case?

You have to try to do. I compared with Erel'scode for solved.
