Lean FT: track *.tsrx.cs files with version control like git?

I am new to Lean FT and was wondering about a decent .gitignore template. Lean FT generates *.tsrx files for app models and corresponding *.tsrx.cs files containing header information that explains these files are automatically generated. I assume that it is a good idea to add the *.tsrx.cs files to .gitignore and simply not track them, but I would like to get a second opinion. The *.tsrx are quite important and should be tracked in my opinion.

Solution

  • Depends on how you use the project.

    If whoever checks out the project generates the tsrx.cs files themselves, you are good to go (can ignore them).

    In C# they are generated in two ways, as stated here:

    1. The LeanFT IDE plugin automatically generates the code file when the LeanFT project is opened in the IDE.
      In your case, opening the project in VS will generate those files

    2. Using a command line tool. This method is recommended when you want to generate the code file or multiple code files without opening your LeanFT projects. For details, see AppModel code generation tool.
