FEATURE override configuration option on command line

Open marcpawl opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Some options would be best overriden from the command line take precedence over the configuration file, without having a complex build step that updates the configuration file.

Specifically in my case changing the project-version, where I want different output for each branch which I can easily detect on the command line.

It would be good if we could override any setting.

There are over 300 settings which can be set in the json config file. You can edit this file by hand or use the DoxyPress Application which will create the file for you.

We can consider adding a few overrides but it would not be practical or make sense to do all of them. Let us know exactly which ones you would like to pass on the command line and lets try to keep this less than ten. Keep in mind you will still need to pass the json file with your override options.

In my case it would be desirable to pass the output directory as option on the command line.
