Which command-line handlers do you use most?
Hi all, I'm starting to port / reimplement existing command line handlers using Clap. There's a dozen, but I wonder which ones are the most relied upon, because it's a good opportunity for refactoring the command line API as a whole and simplifying it or at least making it more orthogonal. For instance I discovered there is a "perform" command, which is sort of redundant with the "eval" one. Similarly there are both a "configuration" and a "metacello" handlers which seem to have the same exact purpose⦠Since Clap can exist besides the current command-line handlers, we can have a deprecation period to minimize breakage and leave time for people to adapt before we kill old command line handlers for real. -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet
This are great news. Maybe you can extend Pharo launcher as a usage case for implantation! It would be really welcomed and useful. Santiago El lun., 9 de jul. de 2018 17:40, Damien Pollet <damien.pollet@gmail.com> escribió:

Hi Damien, I use one custom 'drgeo' handler in Dr. Geo to load sketch and script I did not tested in P7, but it seems to break, not CommandHandler fault though, more other P7 obsoleted or removed classes/protocols. Thanks To remind me on that, I should writes tests there. Hilaire Le 09/07/2018 à 17:38, Damien Pollet a écrit :

Most used: eval, config, st (default to run script.st) Please make sure to stay as compatible as possible, lots of CI and server deploy/run code depends on it.

Do you ever use the metacello one instead of config?

I intend to provide similar features and a path for migrating with minimal headaches, but there are several idiosyncrasies that I hope to get rid of as well. I guess the big users of deploy/run code will come see me at ESUG and we can see what's best ;-) -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet
Does the metacello cmd line option work for git based projects? I could never work it out and always reverted to a script, but would be handy if it does work. Tim Sent from my iPhone
