I work with multiple nim packages, and wrote a tiny shell script that turned
out to be very useful for me. I just thought I might share it here, if anyone
cares:
function niminstall {
if [[ -e ~/proj/nim/$1 ]]; then
pushd -q ~/proj/nim/$1
yes | nimble install
popd -q
else
echo "project $1 not found"
fi
}
All it does is, to execute nimble install in the argument project. The path
`~/proj/nim/$1` might be adjusted to your path of nim projects though. The use
case is the following:
I work on project A, and A depends on B. I need to fix something in B, but I
want to see the effect in A. So I do for example the following in the folder of
A:
> niminstall B && nim c -r A.nim
Before the script I always had to change back into A install it, and then go
back. Btw the `yes` program just spams "y" lines on stdout, to answer all
questions of nimble with yes. In the beginning I also wanted to have the
autocompletion screpted, so that I can get my project names on tab completion,
but it seems I am not smart enought for that yet.
