i haven't had a chance to try for myself, but if i organize my custom objects as: • Objects/myCompany/Scripts/UserEvents • Objects/myCompany/Scripts/Client and

deploy.xml

is as such:

<objects>
  <path>~/Objects/*</path>
</objects>

will that work?

Yes. SDF will recursively pick up anything under the /Objects folder.

It also allows you to explicitly define which objects go in. So instead of `~/Objects/*`… you can do

~/Objects/Scripts/*

or even `~/Objects/Scripts/Client/Transactions.js`… You can even have multiple lines in your deploy.xml file, one per object if necessary.

^ Is there a bug related to that functionality and validation right now? I had a project set up that way where I had

/Objects/Staging/

and

/Objects/Production/

(for a very specific use case, not a long-term project), and even with

/Objects/Production/

set in my

deploy.xml

, everything in

Staging

was still getting validated causing the project to fail

Hmmm, that sounds like a bug. Was the validation being done client side or server side?

Both

You are correct. This will get fixed soon (I think the release of April 18th) where our tools are only going to zip and send to the server what is referenced in the deploy file

nice! I've scripted my own deploy.xml parser to zip only those specified files/objects

Yep, it’s coming.
