How can I set the compiler:sys.fullName via command line?

I tried the commmand line option:

-D sys.fullName=CustomName

but to no effect (empty full name).

The help mentions that only variables defined on the "General Settings->Compiler Variables" step can be overridden like this.

Does that mean I have to create an additional 'intermediate' compiler variable and place it in the Full Name field with ${compiler:intermediate_full_name_variable}?

(v8.0.11)

I tried the approach with the intermediate compiler variable, but now I have the problem that the localization does not work:

-D intermediate_full_name_variable=Custom Name ${i18n:msgkey}

Results in "Welcome to Custom Name messages not found Setup Assistant". I double checked that the language files and keys exist.

Solution

  • Does that mean I have to create an additional 'intermediate' compiler variable and place it in the Full Name field with ${compiler:intermediate_full_name_variable}?

    That is correct.

    now I have the problem that the localization does not work:

    You could set the "Full name" field to ${i18:myFullName} and define a message key "myFullName" that includes a compiler variable, like

    myFullName=${compiler:productName} Setup Assistant

    You can then pass -D productName=Custom name on the command line.
