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.
1. Create a local copy of things
2. Create a project from the local copy
3. 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_FROM
And 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.
