I'm currently struggeling with following issue.
Developing in Lua
Different file encoding per file extension (for instance: "*.lua" -> iso88591, "*.lu8" -> utf8)
Actually there is no way to solve this in the settings.json (only per language).
So I decided to develop an extension setting the charset per file name (custom setting charset.assignment).
settings.json
...
"files.associations": {
"*.lu8": "lua"
},
"[lua]": {
"files.encoding": "utf8"
},
"charset.assignment": {
"*.lua": "iso88591"
},
...
So now I "only" have to set the character set of the current file in my extension.ts, but I didn't find any opportunity to do this. At the moment I'm trying to execute the workbench command workbench.action.editor.changeEncoding, it shows up, but I still have to manually chose the character set.Anyone knows, if it's possible to refer some parameters to the command (like vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.editor.changeEncoding', 'iso88591');?
Similar question (but for getting the current charset):
VSCode: activeTextEditor encoding

Is there a way to change file's target membership in Xcode project via command line?
Here's what I'm trying to do via Xcode's UI:
I also had to do this for CI. After lots of digging, I do not believe this is common enough for anyone to have written a tool to help with doing.
The only conclusion I came to was to edit the project.pbxproj file directly, which is never a great thing to do. None of the tools which claim to do this were of any help until I found this stackoverflow answer on editing the project.pbxproj file. Essentially, you can convert the project.pbxproj file into a JSON format using plutil -convert json project.pbxproj and use a JSON manipulation tool to make those files as headers then point them to be headers of whichever target you would like.
When converting the project.pbxproj into JSON format, be aware that Xcode will no longer be able to show you the project navigator for that project. It will still build and run, however, so this is really only useful if you're planning to do this right before building (such as for CI).
(EDIT: As of July 2022, Xcode will now properly read a JSON version of its .pbxproj to allow you to view your files in the project navigator. I'm not sure which version introduced this, but it is at least now possible with later versions of Xcode.)
The format project.pbxproj as JSON has nearly all the important data under the "objects" key. The file you want to be a header already has an entry with the key being the UUID for the file and a path value you can use to relate the UUID to your file. Here's an example of that format:
// UUID for your file
"65TYSSDXHSLP4UUOAD9D40C322AAGHM9": {
"path": "MyHeader.h", // Your file's name
"isa": "PBXFileReference",
"includeInIndex": "1",
"lastKnownFileType": "sourcecode.c.h",
"sourceTree": "<group>"
}
There's another entry to declare this file as a header, which has its own UUID and a reference to the UUID of your file:
// UUID for your file as a header
"YU3BSD39O9PT5RESDFV741D1": {
"isa": "PBXBuildFile",
"fileRef": "65TYSSDXHSLP4UUOAD9D40C322AAGHM9", // UUID for your file MyHeader.h
"settings": {
"ATTRIBUTES": [
"Public" // could also be Project or Private
]
}
}
Then finally, your target has a list of header files where you will want the UUID for the header reference to go.
"A82GAE9A5HUIO063IOPQAAQIUFGSNXZ": {
"isa": "PBXHeadersBuildPhase",
"buildActionMask": "2147483647",
"files": [
"YU3BSD39O9PT5RESDFV741D1" // UUID for your file as a header
],
"runOnlyForDeploymentPostprocessing": "0"
}
Again, changing the project.pbxproj file directly is never a great idea, but until there's a better tool for making these changes without using Xcode, it's the best I could find. If anyone else is aware of something I'm not, please let me know.
I have the issue I would like to automate via a script so tat .jnlp will be added as an allowable type of file , is there a command like or powershell or regedit that will add it?
The latest file types policies are published in the Chromium source code. You could clearly see that the danger_level of .jnlp type files is DANGEROUS. Therefor Edge will warn users that this file may harm their computers. Let users continue or discard the file.
If you ensure that the content(download file) on the site is safe, you can use this policy to specify the file types that are allowed to be downloaded continuously from a specific site: ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings.
Example:
[ { "file_extension": "jnlp", "domains": ["contoso.com"] }, { "file_extension": "exe", "domains": ["contoso.com"] }, { "file_extension": "swf", "domains": ["*"] } ]
If you want to achieve the same function through the registry, you can set it under this path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExemptDomainFileTypePairsFromFileTypeDownloadWarnings
I have a truststore file(a binary file) that I need to provide during helm upgrade. This file is different for each target env(dev,qa,staging or prod). So I can only provide this file at time of deployment. helm upgrade --set-file does not take a binary file. This seem to be the issue I found here: https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/3276. This truststore files are stored in Jenkins Credential store.
As the command itself is described below:
--set-file stringArray set values from respective files specified via the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=path1,key2=path2)
it is also important to know The Format and Limitations of
--set.
The error you see: Error: failed parsing --set-file data... means that the file you are trying to use does not meet the requirements. See the example below:
--set-file key=filepath is another variant of --set. It reads the
file and use its content as a value. An example use case of it is to
inject a multi-line text into values without dealing with indentation
in YAML. Say you want to create a brigade project with certain value
containing 5 lines JavaScript code, you might write a values.yaml
like:
defaultScript: |
const { events, Job } = require("brigadier")
function run(e, project) {
console.log("hello default script")
}
events.on("run", run)
Being embedded in a YAML, this makes it harder for you to use IDE
features and testing framework and so on that supports writing code.
Instead, you can use --set-file defaultScript=brigade.js with
brigade.js containing:
const { events, Job } = require("brigadier")
function run(e, project) {
console.log("hello default script")
}
events.on("run", run)
I hope it helps.
I want to edit project.pbxproj straight up using command line (for CI server script)
what tools can allow me to do this?
I used to use PlistBuddy to edit the output Info.plist; however, what i really want to do is to edit this user defined field, which is used in multiple places, and i really don't want to have to hunt that down in every plist location
project.pbxproj is an old-style ASCII property list file, too. So you can use /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy to edit it.
Print some User-Defined key's value like this,
# Get the key A83311AA20DA4A80004B8C0E in your project.pbxproj
# LZD_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_BUNDLE_ID is defined by me,
# Replace key paths with your own.
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'print :objects:A83311AA20DA4A80004B8C0E:buildSettings:LZD_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_BUNDLE_ID' LAAppAdapter.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Set its value like this,
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'set :objects:A83311AA20DA4A80004B8C0E:buildSettings:LZD_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_BUNDLE_ID com.dawnsong.notification-service' LAAppAdapter.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
UPDATE
PlistBuddy will automatically convert project.pbxproj into a xml-format plist file since macOS Catalina (or some earlier version). It's better to move the setting item into xcconfig file instead since xcconfig is much smaller and simpler than project.pbxproj and not easy to make mistakes when editing with perl script.
I know this has been answered for a while, but since the original question is about tools supporting the manipulation of .pbxproj files, and many other people may be looking for the same information, here's how I do it. It took me quite a while to figure this out because I was very unfamiliar with Xcode when I started attempting this, so I hope this saves others the hours of grief I had to put in.
You can use the plutil command to transform the .pbxproj file from the legacy .plist format into an XML or JSON format you will be able to manipulate more easily. I'm using JSON. To do so, just run:
plutil -convert json project.pbxproj
This will convert the format of project.pbxproj, but be aware that -contrary to common sense- the output won't be another file with a JSON extention such as project.json. What will happen is that project.pbxproj will be converted to JSON format, but retain it's cryptic .pbxproj extension. So even though the file's format has been changed, Xcode will still pick it up and use it in its new JSON format.
Then you can change project.pbxproj with ease using any JSON manipulation tool of your choosing. I'm using Groovy's JsonSlurper class in a Groovy script.
Note I also explored the XML option, but I found the project.pbxproj file in XML format to be cumbersome to parse. The elements are not properly nested to allow for traversing the tree with ease. It's plagued with:
<key>someKey</key>
<dict>
<!--More elements which provide configuration for the key above-->
</dict>
So it's positional in nature. You have to look for the key element corresponding to the setting you want to manipulate and then jump to the dict element just after it. Which means you have to mount the children of each XML element into an array, in order to index them.
Here are 3 open-source tools which implement .pbxproj file editing:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj (Ruby based)
https://github.com/apache/cordova-node-xcode (NodeJS based)
https://github.com/kronenthaler/mod-pbxproj (Python based)
Personally, I made the best experience with the NodeJS based tool. So far it has covered all our needs reliably.
In the following is listed an example javascript file update-project.js which sets the developer team ID, app entitlements, adds a GoogleService-Info.plist file to the project and checks it as part of the build target. Take it as an inspiration and adapt the scripts and its paths to your needs:
const fs = require('fs')
const xcode = require('xcode')
if (process.argv.length !== 3) {
console.error("Please pass the development team ID as the first argument")
process.exit(1)
}
const developmentTeamId = process.argv[2]
const path = 'ios/App/App.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj'
const project = xcode.project(path)
project.parse(error => {
const targetKey = project.findTargetKey('App')
const appGroupKey = project.findPBXGroupKey({path: 'App'})
project.addBuildProperty('CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS', 'App/App.entitlements')
project.addBuildProperty('DEVELOPMENT_TEAM', developmentTeamId)
project.addFile('App.entitlements', appGroupKey)
project.removeFile('GoogleService-Info.plist', appGroupKey)
const f = project.addFile('GoogleService-Info.plist', appGroupKey, {target: targetKey})
f.uuid = project.generateUuid()
project.addToPbxBuildFileSection(f)
project.addToPbxResourcesBuildPhase(f)
fs.writeFileSync(path, project.writeSync())
})
Above script can be executed with
yarn run update-project <arguments...>
given that update-project is registered in package.json:
{
...,
"scripts": {
...
"update-project": "node update-project.js"
},
...
}
We got a .vdproj file that produces an .msi file. Upon installing, strings in variuous languages are added in the registry. But the special charactes comes out all wrong.
I cannot open the .vdproj as it requires VS 2005. But in text it looks like this, note the value:
"Values"
{
"{ADCFDA98-8FDD-45E4-90BC-E3D20B029870}:_58F50CEB3EC74D5E9E6301A39929D9FE"
{
"Name" = "8:Description"
"Condition" = "8:"
"Transitive" = "11:FALSE"
"ValueTypes" = "3:1"
"Value" = "8:Låter dig söka efter information."
}
When built, this looks like the following in the generated .msi file (viewed in InstallShield):
The Swedish letters are misrepresented, and they look the same in the registry after installation:
How do I get around this? Is there a setting I could set, or an encoding I could use, directly in the vdproj value?
I solved this for now by rephrasing without using special characters. The issue remains though, as I cannot rephrase in all languages.
The alternatives I looked at included installing Visual Studio 2005, to be able to open and edit the vbproj file, or to convert it all to WiX.
