Bob v2.4.31 is out with major enhancements and bug fixes!

Enhancements

• Support referencing variables in compiler parameter overrides (https://ibm.github.io/ibmi-bob/#/prepare-the-project/rules.mk?id=variables)

  PROJECT_TGTRLS := *PRV
  
  PRO200.MODULE: private TGTRLS := $(PROJECT_TGTRLS)
  PRO200.MODULE: PRO200.RPGLE
  
  VAT.MODULE: private TGTRLS := $(PROJECT_TGTRLS)
  VAT.MODULE: VAT.RPGLE

• Support wildcarding to override the rule to make certain types of objects (https://ibm.github.io/ibmi-bob/#/prepare-the-project/rules.mk?id=wildcarding)

  FILE_TEXT := SAMPLE1
  MOD_TEXT := SAMPLE2
  
  %.FILE: private TEXT := $(FILE_TEXT)
  %.MODULE: private TEXT := $(MOD_TEXT)
  
  %.FILE: %.TABLE DEP1.FILE DEP2.FILE
  %.MODULE: %.RPGLE

Fixes

• Update RUNSQLFLAGS to recursive assignment to allow for overridden TGTRLS
• Fix logs not creating on initial deploy
• Support index file extension
• Fix typos in error messages
• Fix CHGOBJD for text description to use target object name instead of source name

Full Changelog: 2.4.30..2.4.31

This is terrific feature - thankyou!

Is there a way to set a default, at a project level and have it default without having to define the over-ride for all compiles?

For example, I want to set the default TGTRLS to *PRV for every compile in my build.
