Package-It Command Line

Does Package-It! support command line options to extract the contents without launching the UI? I would like to set something up so that when a package gets updated it would get extracted and checked into TFS automatically via the command line.



Thanks,

Derek

Derek,



As near as I can tell, PackageIt doesn't have a command line interface. Crying



However, you could easily build your own! The tools to do so are in the SF IO.Compression namespace. It is surprisingly easy to create/extract packages. I used this to create a package with exception reports and then a viewer to open the package and view the contents.

Ok thanks. I didn't think so, but it was worth checking. I had built something last year, but was hoping to avoid maintaining another piece of code! Wink

I totally understand. Fortunately, this will likely be a pretty simple app to write and maintain. Good luck!
