Hi all,

We are looking at how to structure bob files within our support modules, especially how to link between support modules. For example, imagine we have a bob file ASupport/ASupportApp/op/bob/A_details.bob​ and we want to link to BSupport/BSupportApp/op/bob/B_details.bob​. As phoebus doesn't support a search path (for good reasons) we would need to supply an absolute or relative path to B_details.bob​ in A_details.bob​. My instinct is to use relative paths, so the directory tree can be served over http at runtime, but this means a link to ../../../BSupport/BSupportApp/op/bob/B_details.bob​ in A_details.bob​ which mandates that the two support modules be checked out next to each other.

Has anyone else had to link between bob files in two different support modules? If so, how have you done it?

Thanks,

Tom
