SQLDoc CLI always adds "_documentation" to folder name. How can I specify the exact folder name?

Hi,

Using the sqldoc cli with a sqldoc project, I want to document my server/database to a specific folder.  It works fine when I use the GUI (see image below).  But when I use the CLI, the resulting folder always has "_documentation" in the folder name.  Here's the CLI I'm using:

"sqldoc /project:/project.sqldoc /filetype:html-frames /outputfolder:C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PRE\Prod /exclude_timestamp /name:server"

I have a web interface pointing at a specific location.  How do I specifiy a foldername for SQL Doc in CLI?

Hi @michaelwilliams2

I have "test" named in the GUI and save that in the project configuration, then override the destination via the cmd.

Hi @michaelwilliams2

Can I ask what version of the tool you're using?

Copying your CLI syntax and referencing my own project which creates a folder "test" it will export to this locale:

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply.  I'm using 5.2.1.  How did you define the folder 'test' in the project?  That would resolve my issue but I only see the folder option when i click "generate documentation" from the GUI.

Hi Dan,

I was able to modify the sqldoc file with a text editor.  I didn't see a way to save the 'generate' options.  But this is working now.  Thank you.
