Updates

LabVIEW dynamically generates the commands that would be written to a batch file

1. FRONT PANEL

• File Path Control (Array): For selecting multiple VIPB files
• LabVIEW Version Control (Numeric): Default to 2019
• Build Status Indicator (String Array): Show progress for each file
• Generate Script Button
• Run Script Button

2. BLOCK DIAGRAM LOGIC

• For Each VIPB File:

  • Parse XML to extract:
    • Version number
    • Project name
    • Source directory
  • Build specs from associated lvproj

• Generate Batch Commands:

  • Clear LabVIEW cache (once at beginning)
  • For each VIPB:
    • Git Flow Release Start
    • Add g-cli vipBuild command
    • Add g-cli lvBuild commands for application/installer
    • Add 7z commands for creating installer
    • Git Flow Release Finish
    • git push [repo]
    • git release
    • git push [package repo]

• Write All Commands to Batch File

• Optional: Execute Batch File

The generated batch file would have this structure:

@echo off
echo === Starting Multi-Project Build Process ===
echo %DATE% %TIME%

REM Clear LabVIEW cache once

g-cli --lv-ver 2019 --arch 64 ClearCache
