edit.bat

edit.bat [VS|CODE|NVIM]

@ECHO OFF

IF "%OPENTWIN_DEV_ROOT%" == "" (
    ECHO Please specify the following environment variables: OPENTWIN_DEV_ROOT
    PAUSE
    EXIT /B 1
)

CALL "%OPENTWIN_DEV_ROOT%\Scripts\Python\set_python.bat"

"%OT_PYTHON%" "%OPENTWIN_DEV_ROOT%\Scripts\Python\edit.py" MODEL_SERVICE %1
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE

The one argument is the editor: edit.bat CODE runs edit.py MODEL_SERVICE CODE, see Editors below.

Opens the project folder in an editor, with the full development environment set. Visual Studio opens the folder as a CMake project, so builds and debugging from inside Visual Studio use the same presets as build.bat.

Editors

edit.bat can start one of these editors:

VS (Visual Studio)
CODE (Visual Studio Code)
NVIM (Neovim)

Without any setting, VS is used. Visual Studio is started from its install folder, code and nvim have to be found on PATH.

To use a different editor once, give it as an argument, from a terminal in the project folder:

.\edit.bat CODE

To always start a different editor, set the OT_DEFAULT_EDITOR environment variable to VS, CODE or NVIM. An argument given to the edit.bat still wins over the variable.

The editor can also be fixed in the batch file itself, by writing it after the project key instead of %1:

"%OT_PYTHON%" "%OPENTWIN_DEV_ROOT%\Scripts\Python\edit.py" MODEL_SERVICE CODE

The batch files are shared through git, so this changes the editor for everyone. For your own preference, use OT_DEFAULT_EDITOR instead.
