$GOPATH and $GOBIN not set, wrong URL on aur-page

[timhae]

two things I would like to add to this neat tool:

your Upstream URL on your aur page points nowhere.

and

I had to set $GOPATH and $GOBIN manually, otherwise the installation would fail, also see this SO question and output of go env after those adjustments:

~/ go env
GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN="/tmp/yaourt-tmp-tim/aur-gotwitch/src/gotwitch/bin"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/tmp/yaourt-tmp-tim/aur-gotwitch/src/gotwitch"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/lib/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build451840183=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

and as improvement maybe tab-completion so i can browse most-viewed games, select the game I'd like to watch and then select a stream :)

[timhae]

I wrote a shell script for the improvement part:

#!/bin/bash
PS3="Select Game:"
select game in $(gotwitch games | sed -e 's/ /%20/g')
do
    if [ -n "$game" ]; then

    PS3="Select Stream:"
    select stream in $(gotwitch streams -g $game)
    do
        if [ -n "$stream" ]; then
            gotwitch watch -s $stream
            exit
        fi
    done

    fi
done

Dear TimboJones!

Hello!

Im pleased you took interest in my little app. The completion acually exists! I just did a bare minimum with the time i have to release it.

To address the tab-completion

enter this command in the shell session or better yet, your shell rc: eval "$(gotwitch --completion-script-zsh)" or if you use bash: eval "$(gotwitch --completion-script-bash)"

I will update the repo and the aur package this weekend probably.

As for the easy to use prompt:

I personally use rofi, so i did a little dmenu-ish script to do just that:

the script

#! /bin/sh

if [ -z "$@" ]
then
    echo Subscribtions;
    echo Popular
else
    if [ "$@" == "Subscribtions" ]; then
        gotwitch streams -b
    elif [ "$@" == "Popular" ]; then
        gotwitch streams
    else
        channel=$(echo $@ | awk '{print $1;}')
        gotwitch -s $channel
    fi
fi

Would you mind taking a liberty to make MR or fork it, or specifying what exactly is still missing, except your mentioned issues here?

I'd love to make it better, whenever i can! I'll try to fix your problems this week.

Cheers!

Hey,

thanks for your quick response.

Would you mind taking a liberty to make MR or fork it, or specifying what exactly is still missing, except your mentioned issues here?

Sadly I don't know what MR is. As for a fork, I don't know the language Go and how to build AUR packages/writing PKGBUILDs, which I probably need to implement the changes.

If you are asking for my whishlist, here you go:

• Add a ncurses GUI with vim-like Keybingings, thats all :) (Implementing might not be as easy as saying it though)
• Maybe don't require a login (watch as unregistered user). That way one would loose the ability to watch subscribed channels but you would not have to go through the OAuth registration process

other than that I am completely satisfied with your tool.

Greetings, Tim
