gSnap development

Installation from Source

Even an everyday user may wish to install the latest version from GitHub. It's easy:

  1. Clone the repository to a folder of your choice.
git clone https://github.com/micahosborne/gSnap.git
  1. Build and install

You will need to install Bazel on your system to run the build tool. Then, you can run the installation script to install to $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gSnap@micahosborne.

bazel run :install-extension

Development cycle

Generally,

  1. Code
  2. Run glib-compile-schemas schemas (if you modified the schema)
  3. Run the install-extension command above
  4. If 2 succeeded, hit Alt+F2, type r, and hit enter.

Dependency management

For the most part, look at WORKSPACE and BUILD.bazel to inspect the dependencies within the project.

It may not be necessary for you to run yarn, but it may help your editor with code completion. Historically, bazel gave errors if you did not run this command first, but not anymore:

bazel run @nodejs//:yarn

To add a new "dev" dependency:

bazel run @nodejs//:yarn -- add --dev "@bazel/karma"
