Question: Clingon and buildapp? #18

Closed rpgoldman closed 10 months ago

rpgoldman commented 10 months ago

I'm a fan of both clingon and Xach's buildapp. Is there some way they can be made compatible? Xach's buildapp calls its entrypoint with argv as argument.

I think that buildapp's argv could be passed to clingon:parse-command-line, but I don't know how I would take the return value of clingon:parse-command-line and run it.

But I don't believe I can just invoke clingon:run on an app from a buildapp entrypoint, because the buildapp entrypoint expects to be handed arguments, but run expects to go out and get the arguments.

Any suggestions? Even though I maintain it, I'm not a fan of ASDF's application building. Thanks!

Hey @rpgoldman ,

I haven't used buildapp, so if you could provide some hints on what you have so far and what is not working I might be able to help out.

If you've got an example app I could see that would be even better.

Thanks!

Hey @rpgoldman ,

I've just documented how to use buildapp for building clingon apps.

See https://github.com/dnaeon/clingon/commit/6d8658ab0da59f831807e34c19742927413ab3da and https://github.com/dnaeon/clingon#buildapp

Let me know when you get a chance to test it out.

Thank you very much, @dnaeon ! I'm sorry; I forgot to respond to this after I successfully used clingon with buildapp. The documentation you added is exactly what was needed!
