[Anthill-pro] RE: AHPTool?

[Mark Melvin]

OK, I found it and was able to run it - but it seems to be not exactly
what I wanted.

It appears that the command line codestation script is what I want.
Basically what I am trying to do is download a set of artifacts from the
command line for a Codestation project.  But the codestation.cmd script
first of all is broken out of the box, but has tons of problems and I
can't seem to make it work.  Here is a summry of the issues I have found
so far:

1) The script itself doesn't run.  It is missing the '~' in %~dp0 
2) After fixing that, the usage will not appear.  The docs say to use
'-?' to show the usage.  They also say '-help' will work.  Trying both
of these, I get 'Error: command not specified'.  After a lot of trial
and error, I found that 'codestation.cmd ?' (or 'codestation.cmd help')
is the magical incantation.
3) OK, now that I can see what the options are (although none of the
available 'commands' are shown so without the .pdf I would have no idea
how to start to run this tool) I have tried to fetch the artifacts for a
project.  I run the following command:

 C:\test>codestation.cmd -cs "My Project" -stamp STAMP_VALUE -set
binaries -d output resolveArtifacts

And get this output:

  Retrieving configuration for Codestation project "null" from
http://my.server.com:8080
  Error: project is required

OK, so I run this:

  C:\test>codestation.cmd -p "My Project" -stamp STAMP_VALUE -set
binaries -d output resolveArtifacts

And get a very similar message:

  Retrieving configuration for Codestation project "My Project" from
http://my.server.com:8080
  Error: A Project must be specified

Fine, how about this:

  C:\test>codestation.cmd -p "My Project" -cs "My Project" -stamp
STAMP_VALUE -set binaries -d output resolveArtifacts

Same error message:

  Retrieving configuration for Codestation project "My Project" from
http://my.server.com:8080
  Error: A Project must be specified

So now what the heck do I do?  This tool seems impossible to please.

Also note that if you don't don't put the codestation.properties file in
the correct place, you are greeted with the helpful error message:

  Error: null

Any ideas?  I am using the latest 3.7.1.  By the way, the whole reason
for me wanting to do this is to grab all the files in a Codestation
project's artifact set.  There is no option to download everything as a
zipfile in the UI.  I have a project with about 100 files and I would
have to download and save each one individually, or create a dummy
project the depended on it, and "resolve" the dependencies.  Perhaps
this could be added as a new feature?

Thanks,
Mark.

Aha - OK.  Thanks, Eric!

Is this something I could copy to my developer machine and use outside
of the context of an agent, or does it depend on a bunch of other things
present on the agent?

Thanks,
Mark.

Mark,

It's in the bin directory of the agent.  Run "ahptool" from there and
you'll get a summary of usage.  It could either be used from a plug-in
(which I think was the main intent) or from something like a shell
builder step.

Hi Everyone,

So I just upgraded to 3.7.1.  Does anyone know: Where is this 'ahptool'
I have heard so much about?

Thanks,
Mark.
