Anglo helper (CLI)

Anglo helper is a command line interface (CLI) that will assist with SVN switches and SVN updates of Anglo projects, detect missing projects, execute any general or component-level flyway scripts and validate the structure of Anglo specific projects.

Requirements

• Node.js LTS 16.17.0 (including NPM 8.15.0).
• NVM when multiple versions of node.js version are required, i.e. when using Control panel.
• Tortoise SVN An SVN client for Windows.

Installation steps

1. Start an elevated command prompt or any other terminal as administrator (i.e. git bash, windows terminal, powershell console).
2. Issue the following command npm install anglo-helper@latest -g. This will install Anglo helper as global module, which enables you to run it from any (workspace) folder.
3. Close the elevated command prompt and start a regular, non-elevated command prompt and navigate (change directory) to one of your workspace folders
4. Run anglo-helper. Since it is the first run, a number of questions will be asked in order to create a profile in /profile_1.json. If applicable, use the same structure as suggested, for example when specifying the flyway folder: use forward slashes, including a trailing slash. You can always edit your profile (/profile_1.json) in case something went wrong or something is missing.

Command line options (anglo-helper --version)

Examples

• Run Anglo Helper with the default profile (profile_1.json). At first run, the default profile is created based on a questionaire.

  $ anglo-helper

• Show all Anglo-helper command line options.

  $ anglo-helper --help

• Change or copy your profile

  $ nano profile_1.json or notepad profile_1.json

• Run Anglo Helper with an alternative profile (i.e., anglo-helper_profile_update.json)

  $ anglo-helper --profile profile_update.json

• Select an svn version to upgrade or downgrade your current workspace to. Anglo-helper will automatically switch

  $ anglo-helper --select

• Perform a deployment check, meaning that all externals should have been tagged

  $ anglo-helper --deploymentCheck

• Override profile settings for to enable switch, update, flyway, verbose. Can be combined

  $ anglo-helper --update
