Continua CI - v1.6.x any time frame for the "Data Driven builds"?

I’d like manual trigger kind that is different from “one off”.

The reason is again the Spring4D project. I’m looking for a way to manually (automatically can be done through various repository triggers) trigger any valid combination of:
- Delphi version
- Target platform
- Release/Debug mode

Right now this results in a lot of configurations that are almost identical (they differ in variable assignments only).
See the table at [1] for the number of configurations involved now.

It would be much much easier if I could trigger from both repository and manual entry points.

We have a feature on the backlog called data driven builds, ie the ability to run the same config with different sets of variables. This would probably allow you to reduce all your configs down to 1. It’s still some way of though. I’ll add a link to this post so we  know who to contact when we are ready to test it

Hi Jereon.

This is listed in our features list (along with many others). This is quite a big feature and we will get on to it eventually. We don’t like to publish time frames as we are a small team and priorities change every day.
