[QBS] Dependency to Transformer Artifact

[Stephan Gatzka]

Hi again,

I wrote a small qbs module to generate version information from an
version input file. So I have a Module consisting of a Transformer which
has an Artifact item with fileTags: ["version"].

The version.h file is correctly generated but the c file including
version.h is not rebuild. So I think I missed to add a dependency to
that fileTag in my CppAppliction product but I don't know ho to do.

This is the code of the module generateVersion.qbs:

import qbs.TextFile

Module {
  Transformer {
    inputs: "version.h.in"

    Artifact {
      filePath: "version.h"
      fileTags: ["version"]
    }

    prepare: {
      var cmd = new JavaScriptCommand();
      cmd.description = "Processing '" + input.fileName + "'";
      cmd.highlight = "codegen";
      cmd.sourceCode = function()  {
        var file = new TextFile(input.fileName);
        var content = file.readAll();
        file.close()
        content = content.replace(/##VERSION_STR##/g, product.version);
        file = new TextFile(output.fileName,  TextFile.WriteOnly);
        file.truncate();
        file.write(content);
        file.close();
      }
      return  cmd;
    }
  }
}

This is the interesting part of my product:

Application {
  name: "application"
  profiles: targetProcessor
  version: "2.4.5"

  Depends { name: "cpp" }
  Depends { name: "generateVersion" }

  files: [
    "main.c"
  ]
}

Any help would be very appreciated.

Regards,

Stephan
