vivado-xpr-fixer 1.0.0

A script to fix Vivado absolute path issues when working with git.

vivado-xpr-fixer

Fixes the project path name when using Vivado and Git together.

Problem:

Vivado uses fully qualified pathnames when describing the location of the project file. This causes issues when multiple people are working on multiple machines with the same Vivado project as the pathnames are likely to be different.

Solution:

This script simply modifies the project file so that the pathname is fixed to the directory containing the project file.

Installation:

This script can be installed using pip with:

user@console~$ python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade vivado_xpr_fixer

Installation from source

To install from source clone this repositry then run:

user@console~$ python3 setup.py install

Installing the Git Hook:

This script can operate as a git hook. This means that it will automatically run whenever you perform a git pull. You will need to install the git hook on every client machine as hooks aren't stored in the repository.

user@console~$ vivado-xpr-fixer install

Note that "python" will need to be installed somewhere where git can execute it.

Removing the Git Hook:

user@console~$ vivado-xpr-fixer install

Manually Updating the XPR File:

user@console~$ vivado-xpr-fixer update

Note that you won't need to do this if you have it running via a git hook.
