Project configuration

[ealeksandrov]

Finally, you need to create a build target for each of your enviroments. This can be done be selecting File -> New -> Target and selecting 'External Build System'

The best way to support multiple environments is to define a separate scheme for each one. Then add the relevant target as an external build step for each scheme ensuring that 'Parallelize Build' is disabled.

Why is this so complex? I found adding build pre-action in scheme settings working just fine:

Am I missing something?

@ealeksandrov have you verified whether this works when building from the command line?

@samdods yep, it generates different configs when using xcodebuild with different -scheme option. Important part here is to mark scheme as shared to save script in source control and reuse inside dev team and CI.

Thanks, I'll update the readme and the blogpost

Issue #21: Project configuration

[samdods]

@ealeksandrov, when using your configuration, I don't seem to get build errors when there's a problem.

[ealeksandrov]

@samdods output (stdout/stderr) from scheme scripts are not redirected into Xcode.

But function output can be checked and handled in same script like:

configen -p ${SRCROOT}/Configs/prod-config.plist -h ${SRCROOT}/Configs/AppEnvironment.map -n AppConfig -o ${SRCROOT}/Configs

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then rm ${SRCROOT}/Configs/AppConfig.swift
fi

I can confirm it's working for me. If any error arises - AppConfig.swift will be removed to trigger compile-time error. Another good idea is to append/replace this file with error string, Xcode will stop on it and present to user. But it will require little more bash-magic. And maybe this should go into configen itself since it already generates this file? Not sure about your direction and vision here. Let me know how can I help!
