It currently stores both, the configuration and cached packages in the 
same folder, while it should put the configuration in APPDATA and the 
cached packages in LOCALAPPDATA (so it's indeed a defect). It's an easy 
fix, but too late in the release process now. It could go into 1.0.1, 
though.

Apart from that, the release contains some bug fixes, most

Block comments are low-level: the commented code changes its lexical

behave and be properly commented at a higher level, which is provided by
version statement.


No, I WANT commenting-out to be low-level, but just not have a stupid, 
useless, badly-chosen rule for when the block ends.


Version(none) is too high-level. I can't use it *within* a statement, 
which means I'd have to use one method to "comment-out" blocks of code 
and a different method when I comment out ex., params, args, or parts of 
an expression (all of which I occasionally do). But why would I want to 
do that when there's one construct (nesting block comments) that works 
perfectly for both AND actually gets highlighted as "disabled" in every 
editor and HTML highlighter out there so I can actually see at a glance 
what's disabled?

hmm, actually thats not quite the issue, I made a mock set of projects
and it works with both versions.
With 0.9.25 I get:
Sub package onyx-config: doesn't exist.

Whereas with 0.9.24 my package compiles. I'll see if I can figure out
why, sorry for the noise.

Could we not just make it a requirement that if the file starts with
#!... on the first line then the second line _must_ be a comment with
the dub file definition?

It will be frustrating to try find the dub definition if its not near
the top and if the definition starts to be complicated so that you
can't see the copyright or whatever would usually be in the first
comment then you probably shouldn't be using a single file dub project
anyway.

If that is released with dub 1.0 then the restriction can always be
loosened up if there is enough demand.

Yeah, comments are not hard to parse, if they are the first thing you

I would say it doesn't have to be the first comment, but it has to be

similar to the current one to sidestep such issues.



1.0.0-rc.1 is scheduled for Monday morning, so it should ready by then
to avoid stretching the release schedule (it's technically a breaking
change!).


How would this be a breaking change? It seems an additive feature, and
I'm not sure it's required to be there before the first 1.0 release.


There could be a /* */ comment before the /+ dub.*: +/ one, which is now 
not considered as a recipe comment candidate. Depending on its contents, 
the behavior could change once /* */ is also recognized. However, that 
case would be easily detectable and a warning could be emitted instead, 
while falling back to the old behavior. So it's not really an issue 
after all.

Well, there are normal comments, doc comments and now DUB recipe
comments. But at least if doc comments serve as an analogy, those are
possible with all three comment styles, so that could be taken as a
consistency argument.


There is no reason one needs
to use specifically /+. In fact the only reason for the existence of /+
is to allow nesting of comments -- which doesn't apply here. I'd say you
should support // comments as well.


SDLang supports C and C++ style comments as well, so could in fact apply
here. But probably you'd usually use // style comments in that case.


So this is definitely something concerning for allowing all comment 
styles. If one wants to put comments in their sdl file, then one must 
use an alternate style of commenting inside their sdl file. This makes 
/+ much more attractive than the other styles.


But I think this is really just a documentation issue. The biggest 
problem I would see is if someone used /* style comments in their sdl 
file definition, but wanted to use /* style comments to include it, the 
parser would prematurely close the whole comment block.





There's another aspect here, in that most people (even core D
developers) use the /* comment style */. So someone seeing the /+
comment might think this is a specialized dub thing.


Would there be any harm? Looking it up in either DUB's or DMD's
documentation would clarify that.


Not "harm", but confusion. I can see someone never looking this up, 
because it may seem "obvious" the /+ is dub special. It's very minimal 
impact, but something I just thought of.



I will finally say this: if such an implementation update existed, what
would be the reason NOT to pull it? That is, I think literally the only
reason not to support /* for this purpose is that nobody has done the
work. If you can give no better reason, it should take away any barriers
for anyone wishing to create this improvement.


Apart from what I've already mentioned in my first reply to Jacob, I
think there is nothing else that couldn't be solved in either case.


"It's still possible to put something else in front of it"

I didn't get this. How is /+ different from /*? I thought the only issue 
was the nesting.



Okay, so at least 3 people favor supporting other comment styles, while
I'm not convinced that supporting all comment styles is necessarily
better, I wouldn't mind pulling an update. The relevant code section is
here:
https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/b02c18991b0cb4627eb0c943efd6ca3e69192751/source/dub/dub.d#L288


Thanks. Perhaps more debate is fruitless until someone steps up with an 
implementation :)

Thanks for the info. In my use case this behavior is cumbersome.

I created a build script for cloud foundry. Command "dub" is 
called
for the source files uploaded to cloud foundry. This command is 
buried

in the build script.

While seeing this new feature I thought I can develop a file app.d
instead of dub.json/source folder/app.d

I would vote for a fallback of command dub. If there is no 
dub.json/dub.sdl & source
folder but a app.d (convention) then as fallback dub is called 
with this file.


Any chance for this feature request? :)

As workaround I can adapt the build script to check for the files 
mentioned

and call dub one way or the other way.

Kind regards
André

It's just that since the language support other styles of comments one
could think that all comments are supported and it will cause confusion
if only one style is supported. Otherwise it might be better to use a
UDA, if possible.

If one reads the documentation and copy pastes and example the user will
most likely get it right. But if you have a conversation saying
something like "it's possible to put the content of dub.json inline in
the source code, just put it in a comment" then someone will for sure
try using a comment style that is not supported.

The documentation needs to be very clear that only one type comments are
supported, if that's the conclusion.

That reason alone is enough. Restricting DUB special comments to 
only /++/ will put users off, because now they know that there's 
a cool feature in DUB, but it only works with certain types of 
comments, that nobody wants to remember (why should they?), so 
they will decide that this feature is either broken or unfinished 
and will hardly use it at all.


We could make users' lives easier, if we allowed them to just 
specify the dependencies in Gradle style on a single line:


#!/usr/bin/env dub
// dependencies: "color:~>0.0.3", "vibe.d:~>0.7.28"

Two good properties about restricting to /+ +/ is that it's still

all comment types, but it shouldn't be forgotten that in the end this is
a question of absolutely minimal impact.

Just to be clear: If anyone has a good argument for supporting more/all
comment types and there are no equally good arguments against it, please
go ahead and implement it and it will be included. Let's just make this
a quick decision, because changing it later on will mean breakage no
matter how it's done.


It's just that since the language support other styles of comments one 
could think that all comments are supported and it will cause confusion 
if only one style is supported. Otherwise it might be better to use a 
UDA, if possible.


If one reads the documentation and copy pastes and example the user will 
most likely get it right. But if you have a conversation saying 
something like "it's possible to put the content of dub.json inline in 
the source code, just put it in a comment" then someone will for sure 
try using a comment style that is not supported.


The documentation needs to be very clear that only one type comments are 
supported, if that's the conclusion.

That's unfortunate.

Awesome! Now we can do quick vibe test snippets without  having to make a
dub project.

Hmm... `/++` is for DDoc. Is this a good idea? Does it matter?

With "chmod +x" it can then simply be run as ./colortest.d.

Apart from that, the release contains some bug fixes, most 
notably it doesn't query the registry for each build any more.

This is great - very nice feature.
That was one of the things I missed most when moving from rdmd to 
dub - so good to see it back!
