Yes i was using a transformer,
I tried to do what you explained, but can't get it working.
Here is the minimal project I tried:
importqbs1.0
import qbs.TextFile
import qbs.FileInfo
Product {
name: "Build Tag"
type: "buildtag"
targetName: "buildtag.txt"
Group {
name: "Fake input"
files: "fake.in"
fileTags: ["in_tag"]
}
Rule {
inputs: ["in_tag"]
Artifact {
filePath: "buildtag.txt"
fileTags: "buildtag"
}
Artifact {
alwaysUpdated: false
filePath: "fakeOutput"
}
prepare: {
var cmd = new JavaScriptCommand();
cmd.description = "Update build date tag !"
cmd.sourceCode = function() {
var file = new TextFile("./buildtag.txt", TextFile.WriteOnly);
var today = new Date()
file.writeLine(today.toISOString());
file.close();
}
return cmd;
}
}
}
Thanks
