OutWit.Controller.Pack 1.0.0

OutWit.Controller.Pack (outwit-controller-pack)

.NET global tool for third-party controller authors. Packages a built controller .module/ directory + its controller.json manifest into a self-contained zip ready for upload to a WitCloud server via the admin UI.

Install

dotnet tool install -g OutWit.Controller.Pack

Usage

outwit-controller-pack <module-dir>
outwit-controller-pack --module <module-dir> [--output <zip-path>]
                       [--allow-external-uris]

By default, the tool requires every dataAssets[] entry in the manifest to use a file:// URI that resolves to an existing file inside the module directory — contributor zips bundle assets inline so the admin reviewer sees the exact bytes that will reach clients. Use --allow-external-uris to opt in to https:// / gh-release:// URIs (the receiving server must also be configured to permit them).

See the controller-assets-architecture.md design doc (in the WitEngine repo) for the Path A vs Path B distribution split and the full contributor workflow.

Source

The tool source lives here in OmnibusCloud/Controllers alongside the first-party controller examples — third-party authors can read it, fork it, contribute fixes. It depends on the published OutWit.Engine.Assets library for manifest schema parsing.
