builds_folder suggestion/enhancement/contribution

[oncardam]

I keep my project source on a cloud storage folder (google drive) so other contributors can get to it, but I don't really want to keep uploading each build to cloud storage.

It would be good to have a builds_folder where dists get built to either on a per project or a global basis.

As a quick and easy hack I added a new parameter to options.rpy called builds_folder.

eg:

Code: Select all

    build.directory_name = "ROCE-R1.3.3"
    build.builds_folder = '''../../../RenpyBuilds'''         ### New

The following was added in the launcher's distribute.rpy:

Code: Select all

            self.base_name = build['directory_name']
            self.executable_name = build['executable_name']
            self.pretty_version = build['version']
            
            builds_folder = build.get('builds_folder')                 ### New
            
   
            # The destination directory.
            if destination is None:
                parent = os.path.dirname(project.path)
                if builds_folder:                                      ### New
                    if builds_folder[0] == '.':                        ### New
                        parent = os.path.join(parent, builds_folder)   ### New
                    else:                                              ### New
                        parent = builds_folder                         ### New  
                        
                self.destination = os.path.join(parent, self.base_name + "-dists")
                try:
                    os.makedirs(self.destination)
                except:
                    pass
            else:
                self.destination = destination

and added

Code: Select all

   rv["builds_folder"] = builds_folder 

to 00Build.RPY's dump function.

I've added build.destination to Ren'Py 6.16. There's a slight semantic change to what you have here - it gives the entire path to the dists directory, rather than the path to the directory containing the dists directory.

Oh cool, thankyou. That will work just as well for my purposes. Does it work with relative and absolute paths?
