Continuous-integration automation
MDriven continuous integration (CI) describes automation of build, evolve, and deploy work. The documented automation steps are:
- Generate all code to ensure that the code maps to the model.
- Rebuild all so that assemblies are built before upload for CodeDress use.
- Upload to MDrivenServer to initiate evolve and the database operation.
The documented Visual Studio automation starts Visual Studio with the solution as a standard solution argument and supplies the model using MODELAUTOMATION="%MODELFILE%".
Before starting Visual Studio, the documented environment variables are MODELAUTOMATION_URL, MODELAUTOMATION_USER, and MODELAUTOMATION_PWD. The output-directory and output-file-path variables are documented as optional or overriding output settings.
Source control
The supplied documentation does not establish a supported workflow for storing, diffing, merging, or committing MDriven model files in Git, SVN, or another source-control system. Do not add repository-layout or merge-resolution instructions until those details are confirmed in MDriven documentation or by the product team.
