In my previous post, I showed how you can leverage AppleScript to check out a file or a project that resides on a Perforce server. The reason for this is that Xcode 3.x does not work well with Perforce. <\/p>\n
Now, I figured out how to do this with the build in scripts menu in Xcode. The limitations I found so far is that you can only check out a file, can’t do a project yet, and that the cursor has to be in the file that you want to check out. <\/p>\n
So I created a script, named it “Check out file” and put it in a section named “Gravy” since that is what I work with most. The script code is:<\/p>\n
\n#!\/bin\/sh\n# This shell script checks out the current file from Perforce, so long as it has the cursor in it\n\n# Get the file's full path\nFULL_FILE_PATH=\"%%%{PBXFilePath}%%%\"\n\n# Check to make sure it exists\nif [ -f \"$FULL_FILE_PATH\" ]\nthen\n\t# Separate the filename and the path\n\tSRC_FILE=${FULL_FILE_PATH##*\/}\n\tFILE_PATH=${FULL_FILE_PATH%\/*}\n\t\n\t# Go to the folder and invoke the p4 command line app with the appropriate arguments\n\tcd \"$FILE_PATH\"\n\t\/usr\/local\/bin\/p4 -cjrios_My_Perforce_ClientName -pperforce.jaimerios.com:1666 -PHah -ujaimer edit \"$SRC_FILE\"\n\n# This is a hack to get Xcode to recognize that the file was checked out\n# Notice that the code is not indented\nosascript - \"$1\" << ENDOFSCRIPT\ntell application \"Xcode\"\n\tset myFile to associated file name of front window\n\tsave myFile\nend tell\ntell application \"Finder\"\n\tactivate\nend tell\ntell application \"Xcode\"\n\tactivate\nend tell\nENDOFSCRIPT\n\t\nelse\n\techo File not found:\"$SRC_FILE\"\nfi\n<\/pre>\nFor the output and error options, I set them to \"Display in Alert\".<\/p>\n
And that's it. I hope this helps you and if you have any comments for improving this, post a comment and let me know.<\/p>\n
Happy coding!<\/p>\n
