How do I transform T4 templates using the TextTransform.exe
utility available in monodevelop for linux?
$ /usr/lib/monodevelop/AddIns/MonoDevelop.TextTemplating/TextTransform.exe Foo.tt
By calling directly TextTransform.exe
with a valid template file, it generates an empty cs file. Instead, if I use MonoDevelop, I select the template file and I use the tool "Process T4 template", everything works fine.
I also had a look at the possible options of TextTransform.exe
, but I cannot figure out how to use them.
The reason because I want to generate the cs files from the templates, is that I need to build my application on a build server. It would be nice if xbuild
could that as a pre-build target automatically, but that's not the case. My idea is now to define a new target and call it before I build the application.
