OO Workflow Designer - SCM - .gitignore-Files not working

Felix Kroeker

Hello,

we are new to OO in general and OO Workflow Designer. I'm trying to set up the environment to make sure collaborating with the different flow authors works right from the start.

We use a self-hosted gitlab and connection over https to the repository is working fine.

Because only one repository can be connected and every folder within the Workflow Designer Workspace is pushed to the repo i would like to use .gitignore-Files to exclude some personal folders.

Unfortunatley I didn't get this to work.

Are .gitignore-Files not implemented in the integration? If not, is this planned in the near future?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards

Felix

    Hey, Felix.

    I don't know the workflow designer because we are still using the OO Studio. But if I have to guess I would say that the workflow designer also uses the git binary in the backend. And this should work with the .gitignore file.

    Did you test the .gitignore file by doing a "git status" on a command line in the workflow designer working copy directory after changing and saving a flow? Is this working (in the manner, that your directory in the .gitignore file is ignored by git status)? If this is not the case may there is another error.

    Cheers

    hiho,

    there is no GIT backend - all you have is the internal GIT implementation of the PIP vcs itself.

    Operations Orchestration Designer\python\python-<version>\Lib\site-packages\pip\_internal\vcs\git.py

    All changes are tracked in a random temporary working directory on the Workflow Designer host (in case of pull, commit, etc.). The rest is stored in the Workflow Designer database. There are no local files tracking changes on the Workflow Designer host.

    So my guess is: no, it's not implemented. If your work differs from the current implementation, you may redesign your projects to fit both.

    Regards Rene
