You can now specify the source files path when you initiate a build through the API. This allows automated builds to be run even if a copy of the database does not yet exist. (Such as after checking out a project in an automated CI workflow.) joyfullservice#430

…g as expected due to searching the current directory rather than using the export folder.

…his avoid generating a bad export where the data are not actually exported due to invalid XML being generated by Application.ExportXML. Unfortunately, if a table contains any characters that aren't valid for XML document, it won't try to escape them and include them as literals. Even if they were escaped, they might not be accepted anyway. XML specifications forbids having any characters in 0x01-0x31 range so if a table data contains such characters, this can cause the XML export to fail. In this case, tab delimited will have to be used instead. However, the previous version was simply silently exporting as if everything is hunky-dory when it's not. Hence, the error.

…cks. This seems to be due to not closing it when evaluating the UseTheme. Even if we skipped it, we still need to remove it from m_colBlocks to balance everything out.

Misc bug fixes

…e end of the string but the function GetNextTokenID returns 0, which then fails within FormatSQL function since there is no member at index 0. It's not clear why this only fails every second time a query is exported but it is the case where if it fails, exporting it next time will not yield the error. Do it 3rd time, then it fails.

…quick to close it) which may result in an error about object members not available. Since the form is closed, there's no point in setting the timer interval. To avoid the error when debugging, we add a IsLoaded check and skip it if it's not loaded.

Misc bug fixes

This option (on by default) will save the VBA code from forms and reports as a related .cls file. (Still under development.) joyfullservice#378

Also removed the "Strip out Publish Option" from the options form. I have never heard of a case where this needs to be changed, and it frees up space for the new option we are adding without cluttering the form.

This logic will be shared when exporting code modules from forms and reports.

Refactored parsing the key from the performance item so that we are not dependent upon a unique delimiter. The timing value is always a number, so we can be confident that the first pipe character is the delimiter. The text after that can be anything, including pipe characters. joyfullservice#450

(minor change)

In some cases sanitizing a source file actually creates two distinct outputs. A layout file and a code file. Rather than making the sanitize function more complicated with byref outputs and non-obvious side effects, I am taking the approach of a more explicit object-oriented route where the code is easier to understand and maintain. (And also allows for future enhancements such as SQL extraction for query definition files.)

Updating the existing code to use the new class.

Export is now splitting the VBA from Form and Report objects to separate files with a .cls extension. Moving on to the code that will stitch these files back together before import.

This better reflects the expanded role of the class.

Ensure that the ribbon is active when installing or activating the add-in. See joyfullservice#451

For existing projects in git repositories, form and report layouts should not be automatically split from the VBA code classes. There is another process that will allow us to split the files while preserving history in both files, but this involves a couple commits and requires a clean branch. For existing projects, this is a manual upgrade (option changes). For new projects, it can happen by default.

This keeps the LoadComponentFromText function cleaner and easier to read.

This is used in several areas, and allows us to maintain the source file encoding determination in a single location.

Cleaning this up to avoid reading and writing the file additional times while merging content from different sources. (Print settings, VBA code)

For some (rare) situations, it is necessary to push the VBA code directly using VBE to preserve certain extended characters that may be corrupted in a regular round-trip export/import cycle.

Uncovered these while testing.

format with format$
trim with trim$

From @hecon5:

Bump version minor number because it's not clear that the index will allow round trip from prior types in all cases; it worked on my machine, but that may not always be the case.

The date types for the index are handled natively by modJsonConverter and should import/export correctly regardless of user's date / time zone or date encoding on machines.

See joyfullservice#354

Avoids the use of RegEx when it is not necessary to parse a standard date format. joyfullservice#354

joyfullservice#354

Refactored a number of locations to use the new syntax for On Error Resume Next, and added code to clear expected errors.

Also added an informational message box when the split is complete.

Separates the VBA code from the layout definition in the source files. (Applying to testing database now, will apply to main project soon.)

I am using the minor version number to represent releases from the main branch, and the build number to continuously increment during the development cycle.

Additional Optimizations for parsing time

This was previously only partially implemented. joyfullservice#457

This character is used in Microsoft Access in a query when referring directly to a control on a form, and should be treated similar to a period as a separator between elements. joyfullservice#457

This query demonstrates that we can properly parse and format expressions that refer to controls. joyfullservice#457

Just in case a user has an embedded unquoted path in a string, the colon will be treated as a non-spaced boundary character during formatting. (For Microsoft Access SQL only) Fixes joyfullservice#447

If a operationname has a leading space (like " MyOperation" ) the function "SortItemsByTime" fails.
Now sorting will success.

Switching to just using a bit flag check to solve joyfullservice#462

Failing to convert a path to UNC may not prevent the operation from completing, but it should be handled and logged. Fixes joyfullservice#461

Save custom date properties in ISO (UTC) format in source files, without converting other property types like strings that may parse as dates. joyfullservice#459

This is only used in the index and certain database properties. joyfullservice#459

These dates need to be converted to local dates for internal processing. joyfullservice#459

Verifies that the round trip conversion of saved date properties is working correctly. (The dates are stored as UTC in source files, but converted to local dates when imported into the database properties.) joyfullservice#459

One stored as a regular date string, and the other as an ISO8601 string. (Neither should convert when reading or writing to JSON.) joyfullservice#459

If you use the default options of no special export folder path defined, the project may likely be in the repository root. Add the default .gitignore and .gitattributes files if they are missing. (This would be the default setup for most projects.)
