Addon dependency tool

[Daandelange]

#34 integrates a beta version for a dependency checker.
Only tested on osx 10.12 so far. Feedback is appreciated.

I'd like to extend it at least with the following functionality.

• Test multi-platform
• Parse addon dependencies (parsing addons/ofxXyzAddon/addons.make)
• Add option to install (clone)
• Add option to update repos and their submodules (clone)
• Add option to sync addons.txt with addons.make for easier dependency maintenance.

What about creating a Mosaic/utilities/addonTool/check_addons.sh folder to host this script ?
I could also create a new repo for it (useful for other OF projects) and make it a Mosaic submodule.

Any other ideas ?

Yes, i was checking the script yesterday, works on linux ( ubuntu/debian, will test on others ) perfectly!

I like the submodule approach, i'm going to add a specific folder for scripts ( Mosaic/scripts/ ) then we can store there all scripts utils as submodules ( this one as others in the future )

With the addons.txt ( maybe could be better to use addonsDependencies.txt ? ) syncing, it is an universal tool for every OF application, i think it's a great contribution!

I'll wait for your repo with this addonTool ( suggestion names: ofxAddonChecker, ofxAddonTool, ofxAddonManager ) and when is ready i'll add the folder and the submodule inside.

Ok, the initial repo is setup here.
https://github.com/Daandelange/ofxAddonTool
(Lots of changes under the hood, but features are not yet extended.)
It should run out of the box; do you want to install the submodule ? (otherwise I can make a PR)

[d3cod3]

Already added as submodule!
Tested and running fine, just one small issue, in the readme in Installation:

you have brew install figment

but it must be brew install figlet

figment is throwing an error: No formulae found in taps

[d3cod3]

Just tested on MSYS2 ( windows ), it works but do not visualize right

Probably because it needs figlet or toilet, but pacman -Syu figlet toilet doesn't find the packages.

[Daandelange]

Thanks for testing !

No, figlet or toilet are 100% optional, weirdly an error is displayed, but the fallback works. (Project: Mosaic instead of ASCII banner Mosaic, nothing more).
On Unix systems, I redirect the output of the commands to /dev/null to hide errors, I think this doesn't work on M$ systems...

Regarding the broken table columns, it looks like the latest changes that adapt the column width to the terminal width broke it, needing the bc command to floor float calculations. From what I understand, bc is part of GNU, not bash, and there are different bash environments on Windows, GitBash being very minimal (are you using this?). bc could be installed, but awk which seems more universal, could you try this ?

Edit: Newer commits available, everything in your screenshot should be fixed now.

[d3cod3]

Yes, your commit fixed the issue on MSYS2, great!

Before trying it, i've installed bc:

pacman -Syu bc

and it solved the issue

But it's probably better to use awk, less instructions for the users

[Daandelange]

Ok, great. Did the "figlet/toilet command not found" messages go away too ?
There also seems to be a bug when addons are on a detached head.... there's a possible fix in new commit.

Closing this, as it seems to be working. For further issues we can always open issues in the submodule repo :)
