I want to run a no minify build but not from Terminal. Can I do it form the Dart Editor IDE itself?
Under Run -> Manage Launches you can create a new Dart2js launch and pass in whatever compiler flags you want.
Dart2JS can be configured using pubspec.yaml Configuring the Built-in dart2js Transformer.
You also need a custom launch configuration until DartEditor's internal web server is replaced by pub serve which is work in progress.

How do I setup a Rascal-MPL project to consume the DSL built with Rascal?
I don't seem to find any resource that details how to solve that particular problem
The documentation hasn't been written for that case but here goes:
Use newRascalProject from util::Reflective to create a basic setup. For both the DSL project and the consuming project that makes sense.
mvn install in the DSL project, if you won't have the DSL project folder open in Eclipse or VScode or if you are working bare bones Unix/Maven.
In RASCAL.MF of the client project add Require-Libraries: |lib://dsl-project|
In pom.xml of the client project add a dependency on the DSL jar.
Restart the console or terminal for a file of the client project.
In the terminal the active version of the path configuration for the interpreter will be printed. It should have the DSL project in the list of srcs.
In VScode log for the Rascal LSP you can see the path configuration printed when compiling/checking source files in the client project. There the DSL project should be in the libs path.
If the DSL project isn't compiled to .tpl files that appear in the target folder and eventually in the jar, you will get spurious error messages in the client code. In that case trigger the compiler in the DSL project by saving the top module, or run mvn install again. Revisit the pom file for the settings of the rascal-maven-plugin
For those landing at this page and trying to find an example of calling newRascalProject with working parameters...
The first parameter is a 'location'. While it is documented how to use this parameter (https://www.rascal-mpl.org/docs/Rascal/Expressions/Values/Location/), it still took my some time to figure out that a location is not a regular string, and not using double quotes " but |.
So if you try:
newRascalProject ("home:///Projects/rascal_playground", "hello2")
You get the following error:
Advice: |https://www.rascal-mpl.org/docs/Rascal/Errors/CompileTimeErrors/UndeclaredVariable/UndeclaredVariable.html|
Including the variable name for the 2nd parameter...
newRascalProject ("home:///Projects/rascal_playground", name="hello")
... gives the same error.
This is the correct example:
newRascalProject (|home:///Projects/rascal_playground|, name="hello")
For my release process I need several different "modes." However, if I use the --mode option for pub build and set it to any value other than release, it forces un-minified javascript.
I know I can configure the dart2js transformer in my pubspec.yaml, but if I set minify: true under the $dart2js heading in my pubspec.yaml I am then forcing them to be minified, and then cannot produce un-minified debug builds.
What I'm really looking for is a way to configure arbitrary dart2js options (minified, checked, etc.) in pub build via the CLI (so that I don't have to hardcode in pubspec.yaml), or, failing that, to be able to specify additional arbitrary flags from the pub build CLI so that I can reserve --mode for debug and release. The asPlugin() transformer constructor takes a BarbackSettings object, but I can't see how to see arbitrary params in that via the command line.
I have never seen anything like that mentioned (for example in any of the bug reports) and I'm pretty sure this is not supported. I suggest to just create a feature request at http://dartbug.com.
One way I can think of is to create a script which manipulates the pubspec.yaml file before executing pub build. This should be easy using the https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/yaml package.
I'd like to make builds from the command line and I'm wondering if there's a way how to execute the command line compiler with selected build configuration ?
I know there is option --no-config which won't load default dcc32.cfg file but I would like to set the build configuration I've prepared in my project.
I would like to run something like
dcc32.exe --some-option RELEASE Win32 PLATFORM
Is there some option for selecting build configuration ?
Thank you
You need to be using msbuild rather than dcc32 for this:
msbuild myproject.dproj /p:Config=RELEASE;Platform=Win32
Make sure you have called the rsvars.bat file from the RAD Studio bin folder before you attempt to call msbuild. This sets up the necessary environment variables.
The great thing about the modern msbuild based build system, as implemented in Delphi, is that you can quite easily ensure that your command line builds are identical to your IDE builds.
As far as I know, you can use the dcc64.exe to compile for 64-bit if you do not want to use MSBuild. It is in the same folder as the dcc32.exe (and dccosx.exe for compile for OSX)
I am writing a script to automate my iOS building. It will be run outside of Xcode, either via Terminal or from build automating software. Is there any way to have access to Xcode environment variables in my script, so I don't have to try and derive them myself?
For example, can I get access to PROJECT_DIR instead of assuming I'm in the current directory and running pwd?
I am currently hardcoding the product names for my different build configurations. (I'm also hard coding the build configs, but I could parse them them from xcodebuild -list.) Is there a way to get the app if you know the build config name?
(I saw this related question but it doesn't have an answer for me.)
The Xcode environment variables are only defined for child processes of the xcodebuildcommand-line tool.
One solution I used is to have a very simple script as part of my build process (Project->New Build Phase->Add Run Script Build Phase). All this script does is export the necessary variables and call a script in my path somewhere.
That script could be generated by your build script before calling xcodebuild and voilà! you have an external script that has access to Xcode build variables.
I'm using protocol buffers for data serialization in my C++ application. I would like to add the invokation of the protoc code generator in my premake build script (thus ensure the up-to-date state of the generated classes and avoid the need to store generated source under version control).
Even their FAQ has a question and answer about this, but the answer is very incomplete for me. Having the ability to call any lua function is great, but where exactly do I put that call? I need to run the protoc compiler before building either the application or the unit tests.
You can certainly call outside code from Premake scripts. But remember: Premake scripts are used to generate build files: Makefiles, C++ projects, etc. The Premake script is run before building the project.
If you want this preprocess to be run outside of the actual build files (and not by make, VC++, Code::Blocks, etc), then it's easy. Lua's os.execute will execute a command-line.
Premake scripts are still Lua scripts. All of the Premake commands are just Lua calls into functions that Premake defines. Premake executes the scripts, then uses the data from them to generate the build files. So all of your Lua code is run during the execution of the script. Where you put this command in your script is irrelevant; wherever it is, it will execute before your build files are generated.
And if you want to run the protoc step during the build (from VC++, makefile, etc.) you can set up a prebuild command. See http://industriousone.com/prebuildcommands for more info and an example.
