CAT 1.5.0

Create CAT projects easily #

CAT configuration is easy, but still - why would you remember it? Starting with this release, we support creating new CAT projects using these simple commands:

# if you use CAT PowerShell module
New-CatProject

# if you use CAT CLI
catcli new -t default

This will create a very simple CAT project file. It is handy for regular CAT users. If you are new to CAT, continue reading, we have something for you :-)

Templates for new projects #

We ship simple templates together with CAT binaries. They work out of the box. To get their list, run

Get-CatProjectTemplate  # PowerShell
catcli new --list       # CAT CLI

To create a new project using a template, run this:

New-CatProject -Template getStartedWindows # for PowerShell
catcli new -t getStartedWindows # for CAT CLI

CAT will initialize the project for you from the chosen template:

Online templates #

We have also project templates online on our server. We’ll be adding more. You will not have to upgrade CAT to get them. Listing templates and creating projects works also with the online stuff.

There is more #

You can also instruct CAT to add descriptive comments to the generated content, change target directory, overwrite existing content, get fresh template content from online, wrap the generated stuff in a directory,…

New-CatProject -Template getStartedWindows -Path "D:\Testing\" -Name "TryCAT" -Force -Online -Wrap
catcli new -t getStartedWindows -d "D:\Testing" -n "TryCAT" -fow

See full documentation for CAT PowerShell module and CAT CLI.

We want to make the getting started experience much more pleasant. You can soon expect more templates. We want to introduce this functionality to CAT Studio too.

That’s it :-). Happy testing.
