export EA diagrams as named images

[rdmueller]

provide a gradle build step which exports all diagrams found in an Enterprise Architect project as images with the diagram name as image name

[rdmueller]

got the feeling that this was closed by mistake since there seems to be no new gradle step :-)
Will try to provide it soon...

[rdmueller]

the current build.gradle got a new target: arc42withEA
this target first searches for .eap files and then exports all diagrams as image
tested on windows

[gernotstarke]

as EA primarily runs on Windows, that should be no problem…

thanx (ich dachte schon, ich sei der einzig Verrückte, der Pfingsten vor der IDE sitzt…)

EA also runs with wine. I've already tested an older version of the script with wine under linux. My goal is to create a script which can be used headless on a build server :-)

Dennoch angenehme Pfingstage!

whow - great!
cannot currently test that myself due to "no-configured-windows-available-error"...
when we have the multi-project build available, we should imho include the EA-export target into one of
the subproject buildfiles... let's postpone that for a few days.

[rdmueller]

the "no-configured-windows-available-error" is the reason why I want to be able to run it also on linux.
The .vbs script runs fine with wine or crossover, but I still have to document the setup.

and I do agree that the script will need a celanup. btw: where do we document design decisions?

moved your build.gradle extension for EA-export to test-directory

the "main" build.gradle shall not export EA images - that shall only be done by gradle used in documentation use-case (not for us contributors when exporting / transforming formats or versions...

[rdmueller]

let's close this issue for now and reopen a new one as soon as needed
