Open YonatanGazit opened 2 years ago

YonatanGazit commented 2 years ago

Environment

Visual Studio version: 2017
Codemaid version: 12.0
Code language: C++, Python

Description

Can I run Codemaid trough the command line (Windos\Linux) on selected files or folders or even using a configuration file in order to enforce Codemaid execution?

Current behavior

Need to use VS and save existing files.

Expected behavior

Automate Codemade on selected configuration file.

Thanks for asking the question. Unfortunately no, CodeMaid is heavily dependent on Visual Studio APIs that are only available while the IDE is open. There's a little more detail in #520
