Error when building the fonts on Linux

[larsbs]

It seems that either the README is out of date or there's a bug in the script because when you try to run it you get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scripts/instantiate-code-fonts.py", line 33, in <module>
    fontPath = sys.argv[2]
IndexError: list index out of range

And it all seems to be related to this line introduced in the latest commit: https://github.com/arrowtype/recursive-code-config/blob/main/scripts/instantiate-code-fonts.py#L33

EDIT: There also seems to be an issue with the line endings of scripts/build-all.sh because if you try to run it as-is in linux you get:

scripts/build-all.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found
scripts/build-all.sh: line 4: $'\r': command not found
: invalid optionl.sh: line 5: set: -
set: usage: set [-abefhkmnptuvxBCHP] [-o option-name] [--] [arg ...]
scripts/build-all.sh: line 6: $'\r': command not found
scripts/build-all.sh: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `$'do\r''
'cripts/build-all.sh: line 23: `for config in $configs; do

This gets fixed by changing the line endings from CRLF to simply LF

For the first issue, the script changed recently, to take in a source font-data path. In order to generate the font again, you'll need to run this instead:

python3 scripts/instantiate-code-fonts.py <premade-configs/casual.yaml> <font-data/Recursive_VF_1.081.ttf>

It's mentioned here.

I've pushed a PR fix that picks a default path. This is only if @arrowtype feels like keeping the previous api makes sense where we don't have to explicitly specify the path.

Sorry this took me forever to get to. Thanks so much for your help, @kaushikgopal!

I’ll reopen this issue to see if I can solve for the shell script issue.

Hey @larsbs, I’ve tried to update the line endings with a .gitattributes file ... if you have time, would you perhaps be willing to test this again on Linux, and let me know if this is still an issue? I am new to the idea of line ending normalization, so I may have missed a step!

@arrowtype I just tried with a freshly cloned repo and it worked out the box. Good job! 👍

That's amazing news – thanks for checking and letting me know, @larsbs!
