WebCTRL is a trademark of Automated Logic Corporation. Any other trademarks mentioned herein are the property of their respective owners.

This WebCTRL add-on (download link) streamlines the development of other add-ons. Every 3 seconds, it checks for *.update files in the ./addons folder of your WebCTRL server. If an .update file is found, it is renamed with extension .addon, replacing any existing .addon file. Add-ons are automatically disabled and re-enabled during updates.

It is recommended to use this add-on in your local development WebCTRL server. Then have your build script copy in-development add-ons to the ./addons folder with an .update extension whenever your deploy task runs. To detect if deployment is successful, your build script should wait for the .update file to disappear.

See ./deploy.bat for an extension you can use with https://github.com/automatic-controls/addon-dev-script. If your WebCTRL server requires signed add-ons, download ACES.cer for authentication.
