? you can convert it in option/after_check (xmake.lua) by yourself

[Freed-Wu]

Looks a little troublesome, perhaps we can pass a hash table to set_values()?

How to convert in after_check()?

[Freed-Wu]

It looks cannot modify option:value() in after_check().

[waruqi]

option:set_value

[Freed-Wu]

Can we get set_values's values in after_check's option?

[waruqi]

you can set it.

[Freed-Wu]

Can we have a option:get_values() to get set_values() in a option scope?

[waruqi]

has_config is_comfig get_config in global description scope

[Freed-Wu]

Currently, I must

opt = "log level"
option(opt)
do
    set_default("info")
    local values = { "error", "warning", "info", "debug" }
    set_values(values)
    after_check(
        function(option)
            for i, value in ipairs(values) do
                if option:value() == value then
                    option:set_value(i - 1)
                end
            end
        end
    )
    set_description("log level")
end

Can we

opt = "log level"
option(opt)
do
    set_default("info")
    set_values{ "error", "warning", "info", "debug" }
    after_check(
        function(option)
            for i, value in ipairs(option:values()) do
                if option:value() == value then
                    option:set_value(i - 1)
                end
            end
        end
    )
    set_description("log level")
end

[waruqi]

option("log level")
    set_default("info")
    set_description("log level")
    set_values("error", "warning", "info", "debug")
    after_check(function(option)
        for i, value in ipairs(option:get("values")) do
            if option:value() == value then
                option:set_value(i - 1)
            end
        end
    end)

[waruqi]

or

option("log level")
    set_default("info")
    set_description("log level")
    set_values("error", "warning", "info", "debug")

function get_log_level()
    local level = get_config("log level")
    local maps = {error = 0, warning = 1, info = 2, debug = 3}
    return maps[level] or 2
end
