Source Control ?

pauls985 over 7 years ago

Hi all,
Given that Appian development is coupled closely to the server, I wonder how people are implementing source control, with the intention of version control and CI/CD. From reading up on the forum etc, it seems that the option will be to export applications from the DEV instance and manually check those zip files in to the source repository. This doesn't really help with the above as it's effectively checking in a built artefact that's deployable - rather than true source.
I don't think that there are any solutions where we could turn an are on the server into a working copy or such ?

yep seen that ... I think I've sussed it now and it all relies on the developer manually exporting the application into the zip file. Once we have that then the apian tools come into play

@pauls985, Unfortunately that is only option available now, we have requested to allow export grammatically via cmd scripts rather than manual export. Not sure whether they have something in their roadmap

Hi Paul, I am looking for an answer for the same question. My team is planning to use Appian. Has your team have a solution for this issue now?
