Another Question on Configuration As Code

[danny_t]

Hi, 

You can probably tell I am working my way through all the TS free online training.

I have been reading about Framework deployments, can I just ask am I correct if I adopt the TS Environment system proposed by the “Configure as Code” and create projects in git with my TS environment I am fully effectively  providing an Framework Deployment for all developer use the git Repo?

the only issue is provide a configured .gitignore file so that every developer is not constantly committing change into the TS Environment area by mistake

cheers

You are right.

It depends on how you work, definitely add the user specific settings and options to the ignore file. If you think your other developers do not need to change the configuration then add them to ignore. In this instance, I personally would make the environment in to a different repository and use it as a git submodule in your main project. https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-submodule

Here are couple of links explaining different TS files and what they do.

TS Public: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/teststand-public-directory.html

TS CFG: https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/configuration-files.html

Hope this helps.
