Editor

Create, edit and delete files inside SCM-Manager

The editor plugin allows files to be created, uploaded, changed or deleted directly within the SCM-Manager. These changes are carried out by the SCM-Manager as commits in the repository. Therefore changes can only be made to branches (except Subversion). Additional plugins such as the scm-branchwp-plugin (Branch Write Protection) can be used to protect branches or areas from write access, even if a user has general write access to a repository.

Usage

Find out how this plugin can be used on the user documentation page.

Build and testing

The plugin can be compiled and packaged with the following tasks:

  • clean - gradle clean - deletes the build directory
  • run - gradle run - starts an SCM-Manager with the plugin pre-installed and with livereload for the ui
  • build - gradle build - executes all checks, tests and builds the smp inclusive javadoc and source jar
  • test - gradle test - run all java tests
  • ui-test - gradle ui-test - run all ui tests
  • check - gradle check - executes all registered checks and tests (java and ui)
  • fix - gradle fix - fixes all fixable findings of the check task
  • smp - gradle smp - Builds the smp file, without the execution of checks and tests

For the development and testing the run task of the plugin can be used:

  • run - gradle run - starts scm-manager with the plugin pre-installed.

If the plugin was started with gradle run, the default browser of the os should be automatically opened. If the browser does not start automatically, start it manually and go to http://localhost:8081/scm.

In this mode each change to web files (src/main/js or src/main/webapp), should trigger reload of the browser with the made changes.
