<# .Synopsis Convert txt and delta files to AL .Description Convert objects in myDeltaFolder to AL. Page and Table extensions are created as new objects using the startId as object Id offset. Code modifications and other things not supported in extensions will not be converted to AL. Manual modifications are required after the conversion. .Parameter containerName Name of the container in which the txt2al tool will be executed .Parameter myDeltaFolder Folder containing delta files .Parameter myAlFolder Folder in which the AL files are created .Parameter startId Starting offset for objects created by the tool (table and page extensions) .Parameter dotNetAddInsPackage Path to folder where dotnet add-ins are located (folder must be shared with container) .Example Convert-Txt2Al -containerName test -mydeltaFolder c:\programdata\bccontainerhelper\mydeltafiles -myAlFolder c:\programdata\bccontainerhelper\myAlFiles -startId 50100 #> function Convert-Txt2Al { Param ( [string] $containerName = $bcContainerHelperConfig.defaultContainerName, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $myDeltaFolder, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $myAlFolder, [int] $startId = 50100, [string] $dotNetAddInsPackage ) $telemetryScope = InitTelemetryScope -name $MyInvocation.InvocationName -parameterValues $PSBoundParameters -includeParameters @() try { $containerMyDeltaFolder = Get-NavContainerPath -containerName $containerName -path $myDeltaFolder -throw $containerMyAlFolder = Get-NavContainerPath -containerName $containerName -path $myAlFolder -throw $containerDotNetAddInsPackage = "" if ($dotNetAddInsPackage) { $containerDotNetAddInsPackage = Get-NavContainerPath -containerName $containerName -path $dotNetAddInsPackage -throw } $navversion = Get-NavContainerNavversion -containerOrImageName $containerName $version = [System.Version]($navversion.split('-')[0]) $ignoreSystemObjects = ($version.Major -ge 14) $platformVersion = Get-NavContainerPlatformVersion -containerOrImageName $containerName $dummy = Invoke-ScriptInNavContainer -containerName $containerName -ScriptBlock { Param($myDeltaFolder, $myAlFolder, $startId, $dotNetAddInsPackage, $platformVersion) $erroractionpreference = 'Continue' if (!($txt2al)) { throw "You cannot run Convert-Txt2Al on this Container" } Write-Host "Converting files in $myDeltaFolder to .al files in $myAlFolder with startId $startId (container paths)" Remove-Item -Path $myAlFolder -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction Ignore New-Item -Path $myAlFolder -ItemType Directory -ErrorAction Ignore | Out-Null if ([System.Text.Encoding]::Default.BodyName -eq "utf-8") { $cp = (Get-Culture).TextInfo.OEMCodePage $encoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding($cp) Write-Host "Converting my delta files from OEM($cp) to UTF8 before converting" Get-ChildItem -Path (Join-Path $myDeltaFolder "*.*") | ForEach-Object { $content = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText($_.FullName, $encoding ) [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($_.FullName, $content, [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8 ) } } $txt2alParameters = @("--source=""$myDeltaFolder""", "--target=""$myAlFolder""", "--rename", "--extensionStartId=$startId") if ($dotNetAddInsPackage) { $txt2alParameters += @("--dotNetAddInsPackage=""$dotNetAddInsPackage""") } if ($platformVersion) { $ver = [System.Version]($platformVersion) if (($ver.Major -eq 14 -and $ver.Build -ge 34429) -or ($ver.Major -eq 15 -and $ver.Build -ge 34399)) { Write-Host "Using Compiler CodeAnalysis to format documents" if (-not (Test-Path (Join-Path ([System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($txt2al)) "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.dll"))) { Write-Host "Copying Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.dll from vsix" if (!(Test-Path "c:\build" -PathType Container)) { $tempZip = Join-Path ([System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath()) "alc.zip" Copy-item -Path (Get-Item -Path "c:\run\*.vsix").FullName -Destination $tempZip Expand-Archive -Path $tempZip -DestinationPath "c:\build\vsix" } $alcPath = 'C:\build\vsix\extension\bin' Copy-Item -Path (Join-Path $alcPath "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.dll") -Destination ([System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($txt2al)) } } } Write-Host "txt2al.exe $([string]::Join(' ', $txt2alParameters))" & $txt2al $txt2alParameters 2> $null if ([System.Text.Encoding]::Default.BodyName -eq "utf-8") { Write-Host "Converting my delta files from UTF8 to OEM($cp) after converting" Get-ChildItem -Path (Join-Path $myDeltaFolder "*.*") | ForEach-Object { $content = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText($_.FullName, [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8 ) [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($_.FullName, $content, $encoding ) } } $erroractionpreference = 'Stop' } -ArgumentList $containerMyDeltaFolder, $containerMyAlFolder, $startId, $containerDotNetAddInsPackage, $platformVersion } catch { TrackException -telemetryScope $telemetryScope -errorRecord $_ throw } finally { TrackTrace -telemetryScope $telemetryScope } } Export-ModuleMember -Function Convert-Txt2Al
