gomake-Rodina

This is a useful app for parsing makefiles and running target commands while taking dependencies into account.

Features:

• Parsing the command line.
• Reading a Makefile.
• Building a graph of vertices that represent targets, with each vertex containing dependencies and commands as string slices.
• Checking for cyclic dependence and exiting when one is detected.
• Command execution order, where commands of dependencies are executed first, followed by commands of the input target.

Formatting of makefiles for ease of use:

• Each target is at the start of a line.
• Each command is on a line that starts with a single tab (/t).
• At least one command must be executed for every target.

Manual:

1. Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/codescalersinternships/gomake-Rodina.git

2. Go to the repository directory:

$ cd gomake-Rodina

3. Install dependencies:

$ go get -d ./...

4. Build the package:

$ go build -o "bin/gomake" cmd/main.go

How to use?

$ gomake -f Makefile -t target

Note: you need to move the binary to any $PATH directory first.

Here is an example for a makefile:

build:
	@echo 'executing build'
	echo 'cmd2'

test: build 
	@echo 'executing test'

publish:  
	@echo 'executing publish'

How to test?:

Run all the tests as follows:

go test ./....

If all tests pass on, the result should show that the tests were successful as follows:

PASS
ok      github.com/codescalersinternships/gomake-Rodina/internal        0.006s

If any test fails, the output will tell which test failed.
