Other commands

Summary

Commands such as ./godelw project-version, ./godelw packages and ./godelw artifacts can be used as inputs to other commands.

Tutorial start state

• Project is tagged as 0.0.1
• godel/config/dist-plugin.yml is configured to create distributions for echgo
• Project is tagged as 0.0.2
• dockerctx directory exists and godel/config/dist-plugin.yml is configured to build Docker images for the product
• Go files have license headers
• godel/config/godel.yml is configured to add the go-generate plugin
• godel/config/generate-plugin.yml is configured to generate string function
• godel/config/godel.yml is configured to ignore all .+_string.go files
• integration_test contains integration tests

• Project is tagged as 1.0.0
• godelw is updated to the latest version

Other commands

The declarative configuration provided by gödel can be used as inputs to other programs or scripts for convenience. For example, you may want to run a go install on all of the project packages so that the object files are available in $GOPATH/pkg and any main packages are installed. go install ./... will often not work on products that vendor their dependencies.

The ./godelw packages command can be used to print all of the packages in a project based on the project configuration:

➜ ./godelw packages
./.
./echo
./integration_test

This command excludes any packages that would be excluded based on the exclude configuration. This command can be combined with go install (or any program that takes a list of packages as inputs):

➜ go install $(./godelw packages)

./godelw project-version can be used to print the version of the project as determined by gödel (this is also the string used as the version for the dist and publish tasks):

➜ ./godelw project-version
1.0.0

./godelw artifacts can be invoked with build or dist (and optionally a list of products) to output the location in which the build and distribution artifacts will be generated:

➜ ./godelw artifacts build echgo2
out/build/echgo2/1.0.0/darwin-amd64/echgo2
out/build/echgo2/1.0.0/linux-amd64/echgo2
➜ ./godelw artifacts dist
out/dist/echgo2/1.0.0/os-arch-bin/echgo2-1.0.0-darwin-amd64.tgz
out/dist/echgo2/1.0.0/os-arch-bin/echgo2-1.0.0-linux-amd64.tgz

These commands can be useful to use as inputs to other programs or as part of scripts/CI tasks for a project.
