Hi there

We are planning to use the git integration of Appeon PowerBuilder, which works perfectly for source and PBLs.

Problem: PowerBuilder just ignores all assets like images, icons, external components etc. Of course, we could use tortoise git to commit those files, but we're afraid developers will forget that additional step.

Does anyone know a way to commit assets with PowerBuilder git?

Thanks in advance

Georg.

Hi Georg,

we commit our resource files (pics, DLLs...) outside of PowerBuilder. 

Due to our workspace size, we have to do all GIT operations outside of the IDE and the PBL thus repeatedly causes merge conflicts. (Current solution: 1. merge the master into your branch 2. refresh the pbl 3. commit and push again) 

We decided for our use-case its better to do all GIT Operations outside of the IDE. If you do that in your use-case you will have the problem that the pull-operation outside of the IDE will pull the latest PBLs as well. This will cause problems to switch to another branches because of the pending changes.

We think there is still improvement potential for appeon, for example to get rid of the PBL-files.

Regards,

Tobi

Hi Georg,
 
The Git actions are based on the System Tree. As the assets you mentioned (images, icons, external components) are not listed on the System Tree, you can't commit them from PowerBuilder IDE. Please use TortoiseGit to commit the changes of these assets.
