Support LiveScript Jakefiles

[bmundt6]

Pretty self-explanatory; in addition to Jakefile.js and Jakefile.coffee, also allow Jakefile.ls.

I've reimplemented this in the current refactor branch: https://github.com/jakejs/jake/tree/post-v10-refactor Can you pull it, and verify that it actually works?

[bmundt6]

The refactor branch is not working for me either. In fact it does not even accept the coffeescript Jakefile. My test setup is this: { jake } = require 'jake' Running just jake yields:

jake aborted.
Error: No Jakefile. Specify a valid path with -f/--jakefile, or place one in the current directory.

Running jake -f Jakefile.coffee yields:

jake aborted.
Jakefile.coffee:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { { jake } = require 'jake'

Could you provide me with a minimal repo with a CS/LS Jakefile, and the proper dependencies? Ideally we'd have tests for this, but let's start with a repo that ought to work.

Here is a test repo for you: https://github.com/bmundt6/jake_coffee_lsc_test

Thank you. (Sorry, I closed the issue by mistake.)

I was not able to repro your issue for LiveScript, although your repo did help me find a bug in the CoffeeScript implementation. I changed and tweaked somethings, mostly removing the old library names of 'LiveScript' and 'coffee-script', but the fundamental approach is still the same, so I suspect it will not fix your specific issue.

I think it might have something to do with where you're putting the Jake lib and executable — submodules are often problematic, from what I've seen. Here's my basic test, which works as expected:

dargo:work mde$ git clone https://github.com/bmundt6/jake_coffee_lsc_test.git

I'm happy to help you debug, but honestly, Jake is intended primarily as a productivity tool for building real-world applications, and CS/LS are both considerably far afield from any mainstream uses.

Installing jake through npm as you specified made it work - I didn't even know that was possible, nice tip!

Thank you for your time, closing.

Implemented in. 10.4.
