Bambam is not generating all of the files

[jgoodall]

I assume I am doing something incorrectly, but I cant figure out what it is....

In the current directory I have one file in a separate package that describes a struct. I run:

$ bambam -o=../eventcapnp -p=eventcapnp event.go
[bambam -o=../eventcapnp -p=eventcapnp event.go]
generated files in '../eventcapnp'

$ ls ../eventcapnp
event.go          schema.capnp      translateCapn.go

From looking at the documentation, I am missing schema.capnp.go and go.capnp. When I build the project, it fails:

$ go build
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:26: undefined: eventcapnp
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:33: undefined: ContextCapn
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:44: undefined: ContextCapn
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:45: undefined: AutoNewContextCapn
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:68: undefined: eventcapnp
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:75: undefined: EventCapn
eventcapnp/translateCapn.go:106: undefined: EventCapn

Hi John,

schema.capnp.go is generated when you run "capnpc -ogo schema.capnp" on the schema.capnp file generated by bambam.

go.capnp is just copied into your build directory from the bambam/ directory.

I added additional notes to the README to hopefully make this clearer. If you have further questions, let me know.

schema.capnp.go   # generated by `capnpc -ogo schema.capnp` <- you have to do this yourself or in your Makefile.
go.capnp          # always necessary boilerplate to let capnpc work, just copy it from bambam/go.capnp to your build dir.

The easiest way to understand how to build a project is: run "go test -v -run 003" and then to look in the generated testdir_X directory (where X is a randomly generated number). You should be able to run "go build" inside that test directory (as that is what the test suite does).
