Allow the temp directory to be overridden

[sayedihashimi]

In some cases it would be useful to allow the temp directory to be overridden. Currently it just used the %temp% directory.

[sayedihashimi]

Resolved by commit c0e4107.

Usage

To override the temp directory in the same PowerShell window that you will execute publish-interactive.ps1 declare the following.
$pkgWebOptions["tempFolder"]="C:\Temp\publish\temp"

If you are using PublishConfiguration.ps1 you can set this value in that file as well.

Files

Until the fix is released the .nupkg file is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40134810/PackageWeb/PackageWeb.1.1.7.nupkg

The new version of publish-interactive.ps1 is available at https://raw.github.com/sayedihashimi/package-web/c0e4107479de2885aabf4ed8ccceb4cc31ebaea9/Powershell/Publish-Interactive.ps1

I can't seem to get this to work as expected. I added the following to the PublishConfiguration.ps1 (along with the other $settingsFromUser parameters):

$pkgWebOptions =@()
$pkgWebOptions += @{name="tempFolder";value="C:\Temp\Publish"}

When the code executes, I get the following output:

PS C:\dev\Learning.com\Platform_Trunk\src\EasyTech\Platform Web\obj\Dev\Package> .\Publish-Interactive.ps1
Detected parameters file, you will not be prompted for parameters. File= [C:\dev\Learning.com\Platform_Trunk\src\EasyTech\Platform Web\obj\Dev\Package\PublishConfiguration.ps1]
Zip file for publishing: [Learning.Com.Web.zip]
Using temp foler [C:\Users\tbehunin\AppData\Local\Temp]
Temp folder [C:\Users\tbehunin\AppData\Local\Temp\Learning.Com.Web_zip]
Deleting temp folder [C:\Users\tbehunin\AppData\Local\Temp\Learning.Com.Web_zip]
Creating temp directory [C:\Users\tbehunin\AppData\Local\Temp\Learning.Com.Web_zip]

As you can see, it still uses the value from $env:Temp (line 671 in Publish-Interactive.ps1). For some reason, $pkgWebOptions is null when the following code on line 673 is evaluated:

if($pkgWebOptions -and $pkgWebOptions["tempFolder"]){

I've got a bug here, thanks for letting me know. The fix is straight forward but I don't have the time at this minute to make it.

In the mean time in the publishconfiguration.ps1 you can declare the temp folder in the following manner.

$global:pkgWebOptions =@{}
$global:pkgWebOptions["tempFolder"]="C:\temp\publish\01\a"

[sayedihashimi]

I have fixed this. You can now override the temp folder used by adding the following PublishConfiguration.ps1

$global:pkgWebOptions =@{}
$global:pkgWebOptions["tempFolder"]="C:\temp\publish\01\a"

You can find a drop for testing at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40134810/PackageWeb/issue-31/PackageWeb.zip. Please re-open if you still have issues.

Nice! Thanks!

[sayedihashimi]

U have a preference as to which bug I work on next?

[tbehunin]

Definitely #48. We can't get PackageWeb to work at all in our automated CI environment. Works fine though when executing it manually.

[sayedihashimi]

OK cool, I'll look into that one next. I'm already about half way through #42 so will finish that one first, then move on to your issue. That one may take some time, I get the feeling it won't be an easy fix :(

[sayedihashimi]

Sorry couldn't get to #48 today, but I did also resolve #42 today. Got to run and have to work on my book for the next few days. Let me know if you have any issues with the fixed. #48 will be next.
