Developer's Guide

Hi Hossein,

I'll do my best to sync TDF wiki example codes and their ODK counterparts in Git, although I never did it before. I expect our kind supervision in that matter.

Please note I recently amended Disabling commands at Runtime as well. I also opened 2-3 bug reports regarding this feature which may raise your interest.

I'm currently working on A Connection Aware Client example - in Python & Basic - at the moment. I'll push these too when you update odk directories organisation.

Q1. How about text changes I performed? Is there any transposition mechanism in place?

Q2. Can I expect automated git transfer from the wiki to the SDK, instead of dupe efforts?

Hello Alain,

Thank you for your response! And sorry for my late answer. I was trying to finalize my previous draft blog post, and publish it on the dev blog. Also, I wanted to send my patch before actually commenting on your submission on Gerrit. That is because I wanted refer to those.

I have not yet taken a look at those examples that you have mentioned, but thank you for working on them! The directory structure change is complete now for the FirstSteps examples. For other folders, you can use the same structure.

My answers for the above questions:

1. There is no transposition mechanism in place. The documentation will remain in Wiki. It is much easier to edit text here, compared to git.

2. In my opinion, the best would be to update the examples in Gerrit first, and then copy the code snippets into DevGuide page to the wiki manually.

The manual process may look tedious, but updating the guide is in itself a manual task anyway. On the other hand, I think we can benefit from automation in CI (Jenkins), by running the examples, to make sure that they work properly. This is yet to be done, as currently only SDK examples that use GNU make are built with Jenkins, and even those are not run in any way in CI.

One last note: I've commented on your submission on Gerrit. Please take a look!
