Autodetect modules #27

Closed ErikBjare closed 4 years ago

ErikBjare commented 6 years ago

This is a nice one.

Detects modules in the users PATH (executables must contain "aw-")
Detects modules bundled with aw-qt (in the same directory)

This makes it a lot easier to run manage whichever module/watcher you want with aw-qt.

I'm probably going to go ahead and merge this when the macOS build is done.

ErikBjare commented 6 years ago

I just realized that PyInstaller might mess up when you try to run system modules since it modifies LD_LIBRARY_PATH either directly or indirectly (since its likely to search the working directory).

[ ] Check that it handles system modules properly

[ ] Also, should probably test this on Windows where things might behave differently.

This would be a sweet addition!

I'm probably going to go ahead and merge this when the macOS build is done.

And it was almost done? What's the holdup? Should I test under Window$?

ErikBjare commented 4 years ago

Yeah testing on Windows (and macOS, but should be fine) is the blocker.
