CBF meets Ctools Installer

CBF meets Ctools Installer

Ctools-installer and CBF are very useful projects that usually go hand in hand. And if youve been using them for a while you probably thought "why cant CBF just call ctools installer instead of having to pass the parameters manually?"


Well, Andrea Torre went ahead and sent us a patch to allow exactly that.


There are a few new targets in CBF:

ctools-installer Install ctools (prompts for modules)
ctools-installer-auto Install ctools silently

The difference between them is obvious - one does an automated install (passing the -y flag) while the other prompts for which plugins to install.

All you need is to call this target. Heres an example:

ant -Dproject=demo -Denv=pedro ctools-installer

We can control the behavior of this feature. Its possible to specify which branch to install (defaults to stable branch) and specify if you want ctools-installer to run after a CBF build:

ctools.install = true
ctools.branch = dev

Ty it and let us know. You need to upgrade your ctools-installer script (just run it and it will auto upgrade)

On an also important note, CBF is now also on github.
