//TODO task list for Xojo and Swift

DaveS · May 25, 2018, 1:37am

From a previous topic

For Sascha, and anyone else interested here it is :

www.rdS.com/swift_tasklist.zip

Note : it is a 32bit app… I only have Xojo2016, so it seems to be choking on SPLIT commands in 64bit… when I have some spare cash (and Xojo2018 settles down) I will upgrade…
I have predefined 7 tags that the app will document. A future version will allow the developer to add/change these (then can be viewed in “Preferences” just not yet editted).

The only requirement is that the tag be a LINE comment (//) immediately followed by one of the predefined tags. Whitespace IS NOT important, just that the tag be the first non-white space component after the //

Earlier I said this should also work with ObjC files… well it kinda will… there is just one feature that won’t work, and that is where it identfies what function the tag is in. I’m not familiar enough with ObjC to know all the ways to parse out a function name.

FYI… This app is written 100% in Xojo with no declares or plugins

Based on a request from Sascha, this App now does both Swift and XOJO (XML format) project files…

There are now zip files for both 32Bit macOS and Windows (NOTE : I have NOT tested the Windows version, it was just compiled on my Mac)

For Xojo it will not only document // TODO style comments, but will also include “#PRAGMA WARNING” statements (it converts them to a //TODO)

On my first try with a Xojo Text Project File I get:

[code]Project: WAG5.xojo_project
Path: /Users/sascha/Documents/Xojo Projekte/WAG5
Language: Xojo XML project file

ERROR: This is not a valid XCode/Xojo Project[/code]

I forgot my contacts this morning, so I’m actually surprised I saw that!

It requires an XML formatted Xojo project file (extension must be .xojo_xml_project)

No problem, @Dave S , But, i am working 100% with Xojo Text Files. Unfortunately, I can not promise that I will have the time to try XML out. But I’m sure there are at least one who can and wants to test this.

Not sure what format you are referencing… as there are only 3 that I am aware of

Binary
XML
VCS

Binary is a single project file, in an compressed format
XML is a single project file in a “text” format
VCS is multiple files designed for Version Control

Perhaps you are using the XML format with a different extension? If so, I can modify the code to accomodate that

EDIT : got it… “Text format” refers to the VCS format… which is something I do not use, but am familiar with. However, since this project was intended for my own use with Swift, and adding the Xojo “XML” format was an “afterthought”. I am not going to be exerting the required effort to support a 3rd internal file format, since it takes only a few seconds to save an XML version

Thank you for trying Dave. Your decision is understandable and of course perfectly fine.
