I am flattered. Would you mind sending a PR to the README?
When we release a new version will you be updating the Arch package? I don't run Arch to do this myself, so I'll have to rely on you.
Sure, I sent a PR for the file: #35
Yes, I will be updating the litecli
package whenever you push a tag here, it's on my watchlist.
litecli-git
is built from the git master branch and the package isn't updated unless something in the build process changes (or you add/remove a dependency). I'll handle that, too.
Merged!
Thank you for taking the time to create the Arch package. I appreciate it.
Just an FYI, we haven't officially announced it to a wider audience (such as Reddit or HackerNews). I'm curious to know how you found out about this package.
Are you using it regularly? Do you have any early feedback for us?
I've used two of your packages (pgcli and mycli) for a year or two, and I was looking at the same thing for sqlite. Couldn't find anything on duckduckgo, came to github to look at how you implemented mycli and pgcli and found this among the projects in the dbcli account.
I've been using it for a week or so, so far it works very well (and pretty much the same way as pgcli and mycli).
I have found one bug so far (I'll add it as a separate issue if you want):
When using Vi mode + multiline, write any amount of code and exit the insert mode into normal mode.
Let's say I wrote this:
SELECT 1 AS x, 2 AS y;
Now, you can move the cursor anywhere, reenter insert mode by using i and press enter and the command is submitted, which is unwanted behavior. I think that pressing enter in insert mode should just add a newline, except if it's pressed after the last ; at the end of query. Pressing enter in normal mode should always submit the command, as it does now.
What you've described is a new feature request. I wouldn't call that a bug.
As soon as your add a semi-colon to the end of the line, we will submit the query to the database on enter. If you would like to continue to add newlines, I'd recommend not adding the semi-colon at the end and only add the semi-colon when the query is ready to be submitted.
Thanks for the info! If I leave out the semicolon at the end, everything works fine.
I've added both the current master and the latest tag versions of this program to Arch Linux's user repository (AUR). You may add that to the Installation section of the readme.
The packages are: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/litecli/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/litecli-git/
Specifying a command to install AUR packages is kind of a taboo in Arch circles. The general wisdom is to
git clone
the package off of AUR and thenmakepkg
it yourself, but there are so-called AUR-helpers that automate the process, provide easy updates and so on. One of them isyay
, but adding that might enrage some purists and they may say you're pushingyay
on them (when there are other helpers and the manual method).To install the packages with yay, you'd write:
