There is nothing wrong with having an environment that requires uploading files to a dev/test server before you can test them. Other than being really tedious and annoying that is ;)
Yes, and this seemingly immortal thread has brought the annoyance back to the front of my mind and forced me to think about it further.
I just had an idea, but it seems too obvious, so I wonder if it's been tried already or if I'm overlooking something.
- Create a local copy of things
- Create a project from the local copy
- Define a project-specific variable like `WHERE_I_CAME_FROM`
that contains a remote path that `rsync` understands, like `webserver.foo.com:/blah/htdocs` 4. Create a command that runs
rsync $TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY $WHERE_I_CAME_FROMAnd of course you'd want to add some options to `rsync` and perhaps some additional smarts, but could this work? I fully intend to experiment with this, so if no one chimes in with "been there, done that", I'll share my results.
Rob McBroom http://www.skurfer.com/ I didn't "switch" to Apple... my OS did.
That is almost exactly what I've done before. Except that I didn't know about rsync back then and just used the Transmit bundles "mirror this file" (or whatever it's called) command.
