Integrating Fossil in the Microsoft Express 2010 IDE

+ +Contributed by Gilles Ganault on 2013-05-24. + +The Express version of Visual Studio doesn't support add-in's and plug-in's, +but it's not an issue since it's still possible to use Fossil through the +External Tools menu and Fossil is a CLI application anyway: + +
    +
  1. Tools > Settings > Expert Settings
    2. +
  2. Tools > External Tools, where the items in this list map + to "External Tool X" that we'll add to our own Fossil + menu later:
    3. +
      +
    1. Rename the default "[New Tool 1]" to eg. + "Commit"   2. +
      2. +
    2. Change Command to where Fossil is located eg. + "c:\fossil.exe"
      3. +
    3. Change Arguments to the required command, eg. + "commit -m". + The user will be prompted to type the comment that Commit expects
      4. +
    4. Set "Initial Directory" to point it to the work directory + where the source files are currently checked out + by Fossil (eg. c:\Workspace). It's also possible to use system + variables such as "$(ProjectDir)" instead of hard-coding the path
      5. +
    5. Check "Prompt for arguments", since Commit + requires typing a comment. Useless for commands like Changes + that don't require arguments
      6. +
    6. Uncheck "Close on Exit", so we can see what Fossil says + before closing the DOS box. Note that "Use Output Window" + will display the output in a child window within the IDE instead of + opening a DOS box
      7. +
    7. Click on OK
      8. +
    +
  3. Tools > Customize > Commands
    4. +
      +
    1. With "Menu bar = Menu Bar" selected, click on "Add + New Menu". A new "Fossil" menu is displayed in the + IDE's menu bar
      2. +
    2. Click on "Modify Selection" to rename it + "Fossil", and...
      3. +
    3. Use the "Move Down" button to move it lower in + the list
      4. +
    +
  4. Still in Customize dialog: In the "Menu bar" combo, select + the new Fossil menu you just created, and Click on "Add Command...": + From Categories, select Tools, and select "External Command 1". + Click on Close. It's unfortunate that the IDE doesn't say which command + maps to "External Command X".
