multiple developers on the same project

[thetallbloke]

Hi Luke

How close is the document...?? any chance of getting it this week..??? I'm not overly fussed if it's completely polished..

I have stage 1 of an app that I built using this tool.. it was great with 1 dev.. but now stage 2 is going to require 2 or 3 of us..

The other 2 guys are pushing to rewrite the whole app in jquery mobile because of this issue...

Thanks

Even with just 2 developers on a small project we ran into a number of project corruption problems where we had to revert and re-add code. We were using CVS.

While some best practice docs would be useful, seems like there are some fundamental Architect issues that need to be fixed to make this product viable for multi-developer projects:

• separation of programmer/machine settings from project settings.
• ability to completely regenerate metadata from source.

1. Agreed, and we're working on it.
2. Don't expect this any time soon, but we have something even more useful up our sleeves that we are not ready to disclose (yet).

architect can export components in .xds format...would it be possible for multiple developers to use architect to work on individual components in seperate architect instances?(thinking out loud here...)

Where is the doc? It's many months now since Sencha said it would be ready in a few days. Please follow up. Thanks.

This has been around since 2.1's release.
http://docs.sencha.com/architect/2/#.../collaboration

Let us know if you are missing anything...

[aconran]

The above post http://docs.sencha.com/architect/2/#.../collaboration has the current best practices for collaborated on Architect projects in Architect 2.1. This will be improved with the release of Architect 2.2.

We know using IED with Sencha Architect has problem, Architect dev team promised to fix it.
Any update?

We're waiting for this fix urgently.

Aaron mentioned there is a workaround like:

"Create Override".
Close Architect
Now you can open your favorite editor/ide and edit these files at will.

but anyway Generated Class and Overrides Class are two different files, how to sync./manager Generated Class and Overrides Class between UX team and develop team?

[aconran]

Generated classes are not meant to be edited outside of Architect.

If you edit these directly the metadata and generated classes will be out of sync and the metadata will always work.

I'm a new to Sencha.

Let say a developer has Eclipse as IDE (w/ code completion plugin), UX has Archtect to design wire frame, after UX got a view page, he should create and save an 'Overrides Class' where copied from 'Generated Class',
on the other side, developer team should open a project with the latest view changes in Eclipse, develop view logic based on 'Overrides Class', structure like:

view/override/MyContainer.js and
view/MyContainer.js

how to handle these in a project?

Any practical suggestion for using Architect?
Or any typical way to start a project?

Thanks ahead,
