Is there a way to load a Windows Phone Application into the Windows Phone emulator via the command line? I would like to be able to run Jeff Wilcox's test runner during an automated build. Something along the lines of
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Emulation\Images\WM70C1.bin" /project:"path/to/project.xap"
would be the best scenario (the /project
parameter doesn't actually exist to my knowledge). The primary issue is not deploying the XAP to the emulator (that's possible via XapDeploy.exe
), but rather opening it through the command line.
It looks like there is now a developer tool installed automatically called XapDeploy, I'm curious if it supports any command-line options.
Justin Angel had a post about directly automating, I believe this is all quite unsupported but might be useful: http://justinangel.net/#BlogPost=WindowsPhone7EmulatorAutomation
Justin changed the link structure of his page.
