Automate assets generation thought command line
milewski opened this issue · comments
Hello, i am looking for a way to give a psd in and get all the assets generated out, is it possible with this current project? or the limitation lies on the photoshop itself?
i have tried using the generator-cli which just throws me errors..
in short i have a psd with all the "assets naming set", and what i am trying to do is:
generator --in some/psd/file.psd --out assets-folder/
I want to automate the process, by integrating this assets generation directly on the my CI, however i don't seen to get this working. i need a photoshop server? how am i supposed to get one?
@milewski I think these questions are better suited for our group forum here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/adobe-generator-dev
I'll close this issue unless we can identify a specific bug that needs to be resolved.
A few answers...
- What you are trying to do would probably require building a plug-in that is based on the Generator Assets plugin which handles layer-naming parsing and orchestrates the creation of all the assets
- To build such a command line app I think you'd need to either
- create a generator plugin that exposed a websocket interface you could connect to
- use the "remote" generator process described here
- Photoshop needs to be run locally and have access to the PSD on the filesystem
Oh just for the record, if someone come here from google loooking for what i just proposed.. i have eventually build this thanks to @mcilroyc for showing the direction.
