Configuration Steps Prior to Building the parser

First, install the JDK Java 14

Second, clone the GitHub repository (this one or one that you have forked) to your local system. If you are cloning your own fork, change the URL as appropriate.

git clone git@github.com:RPTools/script-dice-parser.git

From here on, it is expected that you are running these commands from within the directory that was created when you cloned the repository (referred to as the working directory in Git-speak).

Gradle is used to build the parser. You do not need Gradle installed to perform the build as the repository has a small wrapper that will download and install it in a subdirectory for you. This means that the first time you run Gradle, you will need to be connected to the Internet and it will download and cache the version of gradle our project is currently using as well as any dependencies.

Building the parser from Terminal*

./gradlew clean build

On Windows, depending on the terminal you use, you may need to use \ instead of /. We recommend using the new Windows Terminal and Powershell 7 or WSL 2.

Contributors

Please follow our Code Style and Guidelines when committing your code and submitting pull requests. We enforce code style using spotless, to insure your build passes our automatic checks, you can run the following gradle command before committing:

./gradlew spotlessApply

Recommended IDE

We currently recommend IntelliJ IDEA as our editor of choice although Eclipse and other IDE's should work just fine as well. For IntelliJ IDEA, simply open the project folder and it will detect it as a Gradle project and you should be ready to go with minimal effort.

Code Commits and Pull Requests

We follow GitFlow process for the most part so please work all issues off of our develop branch. If you code changes are substantial, me may repoint the pull request to it's own feature branch for testing and further development.

We prefer all pull requests to be preceded and reference an Issue before we accept and merge. If there is not currently an open issue, please create one and leave a comment if you plan to work on the issue. When you commit your code, please reference the issue, e.g. fixes #1234 in addition to any other comments.

Please include or update junit tests for changes or new functionality.

Testing the Parser

Even though this is not intended to be executed directly there is a class with a main method that can be used to set up and run the parser for testing purposes.

Use the following command line to execute the test parser.

java --enable-preview -XX:+ShowCodeDetailsInExceptionMessages -jar build/libs
/parser2-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar  src/test/resources/scriptsamples/hello_world.mts2

you can use the -s flag (after the jar in the command line) to get a dump of the symbol table that is generated during parse.
