More Automator Actions (Coming soon)

Posted on June 7, 2005 by schwa

I’ll be adding a couple more subversion related automator actions to my site soon. It turns out writing actions is incredibly embarrasingly easy. The SVN Update action is now in subversion at: http://toxic-public.googlecode.com/svn/tags/BlogTag_20070927_729/Projects/Automator Actions/

Yeah google links are out of date. Been meaning to fix them.

The above link is now dead, and navigating directly from ...//tags/, I can't find the automator actions specified. Any insight on where they've got to?

Go for it.

I dont actually use those automator actions (which could expain all the little gotchas you found).

Hi,

great idea!

I found a problem while trying to use both of these together.
1. Automator would not not import the actions.
2. "SVN Commit" release will build a file named "SVN Update"

Both problems were solved in XCode by changing the properties of the target.
The description was called something like "com.toxicsoftware.checkout" (for Automator these need to be unique, so I changed them to "com.toxicsoftware.update" and "com.toxicsoftware.commit")
I also changed the Product Name for SVN Commit (Release) to "SVN Commit" (from "SVN Update").

Now both seem to work! All that is needed is a separate "SVN Checkout"....as a starting point.

I was also thinking of an action that could traverse the -folder and color all up-to-date files as green and others would be labeled with red. What do you think?

Cheers!
