Open up for Linux? #8

Closed Narsail closed 4 years ago

Narsail commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

is there a restriction why this library and the underlying api-client are restricted to Apple environments? I would like to use your JiraSwift on linux.

Hi @Narsail,

I don't think that there is any kind of restriction. cpageler93/api-client is just a small wrapper for swift-server/async-http-client, which makes it much easier to implement all the methods. Both libraries should work on all supported swift platforms.

I'm using HTTP client libraries like this, based on cpageler93/api-client, in some of my Vapor Backend Apps (which are running on Ubuntu in a Docker container) as well as in some of my iOS Apps.

There is a Dockerfile in this project, so you can try to compile the library on Linux docker build --tag jira_swift . or don't you think that this is a valid proof?

Based on the package.swift content I thought you do not support linux. But I'm not completely aware of the implications of specifying a platform in the package file. If it is still working, I should be fine. Thanks 👍

Oh you're right.. I didn't know that there is .linux which I can add as a platform. Strangely it still works with docker. However, I think I can add .linux to the list of supported platforms.

@Narsail I think it's not allowed to add .linux as a supported platform https://forums.swift.org/t/supportedplatform-linux-not-allowed/28500

I got the following error:

../JiraSwift: error: manifest parse error(s):
../JiraSwift/Package.swift:12:9: error: type 'SupportedPlatform' has no member 'linux'

I think it's okay if we keep it that way. The important part is, that it does work with linux as well.
