This is a plugin for making your own Conscript apps. Get started using it by applying this giter8 template project.
g8 n8han/conscript
The sbt 0.11 project it creates will have conscript-plugin preconfigured, and comes with skeletal sources for your app.
Start an sbt 0.11 interactive session in your project directory.
$ sbt # or whatever you've called your sbt 0.11 script
You'll have a few additional tasks (commands) available.
cs-run app
Runs an app named "app". The name is taken from the directory
containing the launchconfig. In the template project, you have
src/main/conscript/app/launchconfg so the name here (and eventual
script name) is "app".
The cs-run task does a publish-local for the project, produces a
temporary finished launchconfig, then invokes the launcher in a
separate process. This is a close approximation of how the app will
actually be launched in the script produced by Conscript's cs
command. Arguments appended to the task will be passed on to the
launched program:
cs-run app goodbye world
If your app (like the template app) includes a standard runnable
class, you can run it directly with sbt's run task. This is a much
faster way to test the app as you are developing, since it avoids the
overhead of publishing and launching in a separate process.
run goodbye world
It is also similar to running it deployed as a runnable jar that has been built either through assembly or proguard--the most common alternatives to Conscript's local-repository-based launching.
