CodeSnip v4.17.0 released

-

I've just release CodeSnip v4.17.0.

This release belatedly adds support for test compiling snippets with Delphi 10.2 Tokyo, Delphi 10.3 Rio and Delphi 10.4 Sydney compilers.

You can download both the standard and portable editions from either GitHub or SourceForge.

Since I don't have any of these compilers I've not been able to check the code, so I'd be grateful if anyone can give me some feedback.

Also, if anyone test compiles the coed in the DelphiDabbler Code Snippets Database in any of those compilers, or Delphi 10 Seattle or 10.1 Berlin for that matter, please do send your results and I'll update the database.

Thanks.

    I tried the first 3 snipppets "AppendByteArray", ArrayToStringList" and "ByteArraysEqual" with Delphi 10 to 10.4. All compile fine with dcc32.exe.
    You should add an additional option for the 64 bit compiler for Delphi XE2 and above.

    Is there any way I can run the tests for all snippets in the database in one go and get the results in a format that I can send to you? I am not going to click on each snippet for that, but I would be willing to run them through all compilers I have installed: Delphi 6 to 10.4 (with the exception of Delphi 8).

    Hi twm

    Thanks for your comment.

    You can generate a unit inside CodeSnip of any selection or all the snippets and compile that. There's an option on the File menu to do that and a tool button near the left edge of the toolbar.

    There's one problem tho, which is if one snippet fails, the whole unit fails and that snippet would need excluding before carrying on.

    Any info you can prove I'd be grateful for.

    I've also get some DUnit tests somewhere or other for a few Snippets that I haven't used for years. I'll try to track them down and post a link. I really should publicise them!!

    Finally, you've given me an idea for a bulk testing feature for CodeSnip. I understand why you don't want to click on each of the hundreds of snippets: I've done that often enough in the past.

    Cheers

    TWM: I've made the unit tests I referred to above available. See my new post

Finally, months after I meant to, I've released v2.2.0 of the DelphiDabbler Code Snippets Collection. This is a collection of snippets that can be loaded into CodeSnip program. To do so, download csdb-v2.2.0-data.zip from the GitHub release page . Unzip it somewhere on your system then run CodeSnip. Select the Install or Update DelphiDabbler Snippets Database  menu option and follow the wizard. If you would like to run tests on some of the snippets then download  csdb-v2.2.0-tests.zip  from the same place. Read the included read-me file for info about how to run the tests. Finally there's comprehensive documentation in  csdb-v2.2.0-docs.zip . In this release the main feature is the addition of a few routines to the Mathematics category. Specifically there are three IEEE conformant Pown routines and a couple of heavily overloaded summing functions. For details of these and other changes see the change log .

CodeSnip v4.23.0 Released

-
Image
Today I released an  update to CodeSnip  that makes two little changes: The marketing names have been removed from later Delphi versions (e.g. Athens & Rio) to save space in the UI if you have several versions of Delphi registered. So now instead of seeing Delphi 12 Athens you will see Delphi 12.x , for example. The built in REML markup language that can be used to format snippet descriptions and "Extra" text, now supports the ' character entity that gets replaced by a single quote when rendered. For the complete change log see here . Compiler name changes in v4.23.0 New REML character entity in v4.23.0

Never make new year's resolutions - dumping CodeSnip Belvedere

-

Over 9 years I've had three attempts at creating CodeSnip 5. All have been very ambitious. The latest was CodeSnip Belvedere, rashly announced on new year's day this year. Now I never normally make new year's resolutions, and I should have stuck with that tradition! Of course Belvedere foundered - it was way too ambitious. Again. I was overwhelmed right from the start. Just look at the repo where there have been bugger all commits . So here's a new announcement I can stick by: Belvedere is dead, abandoned, gone. The idea to rebuild CodeSnip from the ground up was an attractive proposition, but it was way too much work. Right from the start I seemed to have an inkling I might have bitten off more than I could chew, because I even queried the wisdom of the new year's resolution in the announcement itself ! And that's what all the failed attempts to create the next release have in common: the plans for the new version were always too ambitious . Maybe I've le
