action.json and staged changes

[pabloto]

Hi,

When I'm writing a new program, I need to compile only the modified source and not all the source in my repository, when I run the build action if I select staged changes it always compile all of my programs, display file...

How can I compile only the program I'm writing?

Many thanks

In your actions.json, you can specify the same variables you could use for a steamfile. You could use &BASENAME as a parameter

[worksofliam]

Here's my example;

[
  {
    "name": "Build and deploy 🔨",
    "command": "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake BIN_LIB=&CURLIB OPT=*EVENTF",
    "environment": "pase",
    "deployFirst": true,
    "extensions": [
      "GLOBAL"
    ]
  },
  {
    "name": "Build and deploy current 🔨",
    "command": "/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake BIN_LIB=&CURLIB OPT=*EVENTF &BASENAME",
    "environment": "pase",
    "deployFirst": true,
    "extensions": [
      "GLOBAL"
    ]
  }
]
