Wish Compile option

[mrred128]

Running a project just to create the final is a PITA. It would be wonderful just to be able to compile it. Same could be said for the B4i and B4a versions too.

Huh? What is a PITA? Can i eat this?

pain in the a**.

AND wahat does that mean regarding your WISH here in the wish-forum????

I think he means Just compiling, and not compiling + run. The same wish was already asked here:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/compile-just-compile.59531/#content
and here:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/compile-only-option-in-release-mode.41045/

I wouldn't say it's a pita (at least not with those words), even with big projects. At least it forces you to double check that everything runs fine.

Actually, I meant that it was. I write a fairly large amount of server console code that must be run in the server to work. Every time I have to kill the process in my ide. That could get as high as a hundred times a day (on an active project) I have to needlessly kill a process......which is a huge pita.

Maybe you can use this:

If I understand correctly you can compile your project from the command line.

I still see no valid reason why I cannot do this from the IDE, other than they didn't put one there.

It really should be in all three products.
