leandro.martins Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I have been investigating if there is a way to include git submodules in the project. Initially, we'd like to keep tracking of the version of each PLC in a git repository, but that could be useful for other instances (e.g. motion programs, kinematics). I have edited the .ppproj to include the new folder created by the submodule, the same approach described in the topic: I got the same problems, however I figured that if I add the whole path (including the new folder) to the pp_proj.ini, then the PLC is recognized by the PowerPMAC, and could be executed just like any PLC. Unfortunately, on the next time that did a download on the IDE, the pp_proj.ini is overwritten, ignoring the submodule folder. I'd like to know if there is a way of doing that without have any conflict with the IDE. Thank you in advance. Leandro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 My educated guess would be that the IDE does not have support for this. I will have one of the software developers “ring-in” on this topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I have spoken with the ODT software developers, and they concur that the IDE does not currently support this. Manual editing of “pp_proj.ini” is not supported as it will be overwritten by the IDE’s project manager at the next “Build and Download”.

leandro.martins Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Thank you for checking Steve. We're already thinking in keep the submodules in a different location and automate the process to include in the project structure. Anyway, if your permit me, I'd like to let this as suggestion to be considered for future IDE releases. I think it could be pretty useful, and my ingenuity make me think that it wouldn't be a very hard to recursively generate the "pp_proj.ini" from a project with more levels then now. But I also understand if that doesn't fit in the roadmap. Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 A future release will be using a later version of Visual Studio that supports GIT. This will probably be early next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBarnett Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Any update on support for GIT repositories, using the IDE ?? If not...any tips on setting up a local repository such that it does not interfere with IDE processes ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
