How to differentiate development/release content-url when using cordova-hcp ?

[seme1]

I'm following the instructions here:
https://github.com/nordnet/cordova-hot-code-push/wiki/Build-options
and have different versions of my app: 1) development version 2) release version. With each version having a unique and different content-url.
When installing the different versions of the app, I use cordova build -- chcp-dev or cordova build -- release as instructed in the above link.

Let's say I did some changes to my JS/HTML code and I would like to deploy the changes to only the development version of my app. I currently use cordova-hcp build and cordova-hcp deploy to deploy the made changes . However, I can't figure out how to direct the changes to only the development/release version of my app.

Is there a parameter such as cordova-hcp build --chcp-dev ?? If not, what is the best option for managing and deploying changes from one code base to different types of builds (dev/release build) ?

As I understand, you need two options:

1. cordova-hcp build --config=dev - to generate configs with dev version of the configs.
2. cordova-hcp deploy --server=dev - to deploy on the dev server.

Right now cordova-hcp doesn't support that. I'm afraid right now you will have to switch between environments manually.

I'll create a ticket for that feature in the CLI repo.

What's the best way for switching between the environments manually ? I was thinking of having two versions of cordova-hcp.json, say cordova-hcp--release.json and cordova-hcp--dev.json.

Before running cordov-hcp build and cordova-hcp deploy, I would make sure the intended cordova-hcp--release/dev.json file would be renamed to cordova-hcp.json and placed in the project root folder.

If the above works (and unless I'm missing something), then a simple batch file can do the files renaming and switch the environments easily from dev to release.

Yes, it should be enough. Simple batch file will do the trick.

Cool. Thanks.
