Tasks Options

It is possible to have a command executed before/after an eiffel compilation. Tasks have these properties:

• Command: command to execute
• Description: an optional description about the external
• Working directory: an optional working directory, if nothing is specified, the path to the configuration file will be used
• Must succeed: does the task have to finish successful for the compilation to continue?
• Condition: allows the same configuration with tasks to work in different situations (e.g. windows and unix) (see conditions )

Examples

Windows

Execute a command and pause until user presses a key

Sample: cmd /c "dir && pause"
