gn-build-py

A Python wrapper to provide a pip-installable GN binary, designed for use with pre-commit. This tool simplifies the process of installing and using GN for source code formatting in projects that utilize pre-commit hooks.

Using gn-build-py as a Pre-commit Hook

To use gn-build-py as a pre-commit hook for formatting GN files, add the following configuration to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

-   repo: https://github.com/KindDragon/gn-build-py.git
    rev: ''
    hooks:
    -   id: gn-build-py

Than run pre-commit autoupdate to update config to latest available gn build version.

This configuration ensures that the GN binary is available and used by pre-commit to format GN files in your repository.

Building and Publishing a New Package Version

The build_and_push.sh script is used to automate the process of building, testing, and deploying new versions of gn-build-py. It handles generating the latest setup.cfg, building the package, running tests, committing changes, and tagging the release.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have python, pip, and git installed.
• Install tox for running tests: pip install tox.

Steps to Build and Publish

1. Run the Script: Execute build_and_push.sh from the root directory of the project.

   ./build_and_push.sh

2. Automated Process: The script will:

   • Generate the latest setup.cfg with updated GN version.
   • Build the package.
   • Run tests using tox.
   • Commit the changes to the repository.
   • Tag the commit with the new version.
   • Push the commit and tag to the repository.

3. Upload to PyPI (Optional): If you wish to distribute the package via PyPI, use twine to upload the distributions:

   twine upload dist/*

   Ensure you have the necessary credentials for PyPI and have tested the package thoroughly.
