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

Released CodeSnip v4.21.1 (bug fix)

Back in December 2022 I was quite pleased with myself for releasing the v4.21.0 update to CodeSnip . The main feature that was added in v4.21.0 work fine - automatically detecting un-registered Delphi compilers at start up - worked fine. But, oh dear, the more obscure new feature that lets you use lists in snippet descriptions was a bit of a disaster. The main implementation of lists was a bit flaky, but the main problem is that I forgot to add the implementation of lists in snippets reports and in source code comments in generated units. This pretty much trashed the reports and comments. It's taken a lot of coding to fix these bugs, hence the 4 month delay before this bug fix materialised. But I think I've managed it, although whether the new feature was worth the effort is debatable. ⏬ Get the new release from the v4.21.1 release page on GitHub. Here's what a snippet looks like in the UI when it's description contains an unordered list: Here's how the same snippe

Released CodeSnip v4.21.0

To close off the year, here's a new release of CodeSnip  that adds a couple of new features that have been in the pipeline for quite a while. The first is one I've been working on ever since a user missed out on getting Delphi 11.x Alexandria support when I added it. He expected CodeSnip to just use it when test compiling snippets. It didn't do that. I think his expectation was valid, so I decided to make CodeSnip a bit cleverer! Until now, when support for a new Delphi version was added to CodeSnip you would have to remember to tell it you wanted to use the new compiler, if you had it installed. Now, when CodeSnip starts it checks if there are any versions of Delphi on your system that are not registered with CodeSnip for use when test compiling snippets. If it finds any it offers to register them for you. This feature only works for any version of Delphi that CodeSnip knows about, which for the moment is all of them from Delphi 2 to Delphi 11.x Alexandria. This doesn'
