Question about ModuleBuild-Extension: Plaster created Files with a reference to the used template

[schittli]

Good evening Zachary

I guess that most contributors have a lot of work to find the right Template which was used to build files.

Therefore, I created a Plaster Pull-Request (I'm pretty sure it will pass the 2nd review) and it will offer the new Variable PLASTER_TemplateFileSource.
This allows to add a reference to the used Template, so that Contributors can easily find the source they have to modify :-), for example:

# Built by Plaster, Version <%=$PLASTER_Version%>
# Used Template Root: <%=$PLASTER_TemplatePath%>
# Used Template File: <%=$('.' + $PLASTER_TemplateFileSource.Substring($PLASTER_TemplatePath.Length))%>
# Used Template File: <%=$PLASTER_TemplateFileSource%>

Results in (it's an example, I guess that the 2nd and 3rd Line would be enough, the 3rd Line is probably the most important):

# Built by Plaster, Version 1.1.0
# Used Template Root: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ModuleBuild\0.2.2\plaster\ModuleBuild
# Used Template File: .\scaffold\Build.template
# Used Template File: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ModuleBuild\0.2.2\plaster\ModuleBuild\scaffold\Build.template

At least for me, it will help a lot to touch the right files.

If you're interested in any extension, please let me know.
I will create individual Pull requests for each one (as soon as I have it :-)).

Kind regards,
Thomas

Hi @schittli, right now we are (still) using a embedded/custom version of Plaster duo some missing functionally not added to the main project that we need for ModuleBuild to work. As long we are bound to this specific modified version we sadly can't integrate upstream changes duo the maintenance overhead needed to do so. I also rather not change anything extra in the included plaster that is needed for ModuleBuild to work.
