groovy-wix

A WiX based installer for Groovy. Binaries are available on JFrog.

Prerequisites

Required

• msbuild (from Visual Studio 2022, Build Tools for Visual Studio, or JetBrains Rider)
• WiX Toolset

Optional

• Visual Studio 2022
  • WiX v3 Visual Studio extension
  • HeatWave Visual Studio extension
• JetBrains Rider

Steps for a new release

1. Run the commands below

   New-Item -Path "apache-groovy-binary" -ItemType Directory
   Expand-Archive -Path "apache-groovy-binary-*.zip" -DestinationPath .
   Move-Item -Path "groovy-*\*" -Destination "apache-groovy-binary"
   
   New-Item -Path "apache-groovy-docs" -ItemType Directory
   Expand-Archive -Path "apache-groovy-docs-*.zip" -DestinationPath .
   Move-Item -Path "groovy-*\*" -Destination "apache-groovy-docs"

2. Replace x.y.z with the Groovy version in groovy-wix.wixproj (this can be edited in Visual Studio by editing the Output name on the Installer tab, and the Define preprocessor variables on the _Build tab in the properties of the groovy-wix WIX project). The result will be something like

   diff --git a/groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj b/groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj
   index 070304a..8c602d0 100644
   --- a/groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj

        <WixVariables>
        </WixVariables>
        </PropertyGroup>

3. Build the solution using one of the commands below (depending on how you installed msbuild)

   & "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" groovy-wix.slnx /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86
   & "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" groovy-wix.slnx /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86
   $env:LOCALAPPDATAPrograms\Rider\tools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe groovy-wix.slnx /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86

4. Upload the new installer to Groovy JFrog. The MSI should be put in a new directory, with the name of the release version.

Cleanup

Reset the project by cleaning the solution using one of the commands below (depending on how you installed msbuild)

& "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" groovy-wix.slnx /t:Clean /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86
& "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" groovy-wix.slnx /t:Clean /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86
$env:LOCALAPPDATAPrograms\Rider\tools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe groovy-wix.slnx /t:Clean /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86

Then run these commands

Remove-Item -Path "apache-groovy-binary", "apache-groovy-docs" -Recurse -Force
git checkout groovy-wix/groovy-wix.wixproj groovy-wix/GroovyBinaries.wsx groovy-wix/GroovyDocs.wsx
