So I’m in a time-eating loop where I need to build, test, edit, build, test. And of course during build I wander off into the various parts of the internet until 10 minutes later I realize “OH YEAH I GOT STUFF TODO”.
Is there any way I can setup a post-build thing-a-ma-jig or a hacky trick to play a sound on my computer when the build is done so I can know when it’s ready to test?
Yes, at least with Pro.
You can trigger the build with an editor script, then do what whatever you want after it finishes.
Here’s the link.
My problem is that my platform is Android, and the device is a phone that naturally keeps auto-locking.
iOS is kind enough to auto-unlock and start the build when ready, but Android does not. I could probably set the phone to not auto-lock after large-X minutes but it’s also a device I use personally so that just adds some hassle to making sure i set it back.
@skullthug In the Developers Option menu on Android you can tick a box to have the phone never sleep while plugged into a USB and while dev options are turned on. Then just turn off dev options when you’re not working on it and you’re good to go.
Have you considered a build server?
You can configure the build server to do a build when there is a new source-code checkin, or every x minutes, while you continue to work.
Then you can get it to email you when the latest build has been made, then it should be ready on your device.
Hmm, it’s crossed my mind Meltdown, I don’t think that might work in this case though. I would either need my machine to be the build server run every X minutes, or have to check in ugly temp code.
sinisterCookie that’s what I’ve ended up doing in the meantime. Better than nothing I suppose!
