If you're a developer, you can add your own Ripper by following the wiki guide: How To Create A Ripper for HTML Websites.
The project uses Gradle. To build the .jar file, navigate to the root project directory and run at least the test you change, e.g. Xhamster. test execution can also excluded completely:
./gradlew clean build testAll --tests XhamsterRipperTest.testXhamster2Album
./gradlew clean build -x test --warning-mode all
The generated JAR (java archive) in build/libs will include all dependencies.
Tests can be tagged as beeing slow, or flaky. The gradle build reacts to the following combinations of tags:
./gradlew test
./gradlew testAll
./gradlew testFlaky
./gradlew testSlow
./gradlew testAll --tests XhamsterRipperTest
./gradlew testAll --tests XhamsterRipperTest.testXhamster2Album
Please note that some tests may fail as sites change and our rippers become out of date. Start by building and testing a released version of RipMe and then ensure that any changes you make do not cause more tests to break.
As Java Swing will go away in future, a new GUI technology should be used. One of the candidates is Jetpack Compose for Desktop.
The library leverages the compose library for android and provides it for android, desktop and web. The navigation library is not available for desktop, so Arkadii Ivanov implemented decompose.
