Allow cli to work on local files

[patcon]

Hey! Nice tool. Not sure if there's any reason the file:// protocol shouldn't work, but it was a use-case for me that I had to find another solution for. Thanks!

Hello @patcon. What exactly did you do for a solution on loading files from local storage? I tried serving from a Python SimpleHTTPServer and used various NodeJS local server hosters but keep getting "Failed to retrieve entire script".

Ah shoot, I don't recall, but I suspect it would have been something like what you did. Maybe try loading the script elsewhere, as perhaps there's just a missing close bracket on something, and that's compounding the trouble-shooting? Or maybe try with a really simple file at first, in case the parse is somehow getting tripped up on something :)

Good luck!

I got it to work using https://www.npmjs.com/package/serve-me
inside package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "main": "node index.js"
  }

index.js:

//Require the module
ServeMe = require("serve-me");

//Set the options
var serveMe = ServeMe({
    debug: true,
        /**If debug mode is enabled, it will load each file again every http request, else the files will wait in cache.
         * Also prints more logs
        **/
 
    log: true,
        //(Optional) If log is enabled the server reports all the files served and more information.
 
    home: "index.html",
        //(Optional) home will change the html file served in "/" (by default: 'index.html')
 
    directory: ".",
        //(Optional) directory will change the default public folder ('./public')
 
    error: {
        404: "404.html",
        500: "500.html"
        /**Error pages depending on the error code.
         * That specified files must exist in the 'public/error' folder.
         *     Model: 'errorcode': "file.html"
        **/
    },
 
    //(Optional)
    secure: false,
        //Will use https when enabled.
        //ATENTION: A key and a certificate must be provided.
    //By default serve-me will use:
    key: "./keys/key.pem",
    cert: "./keys/cert.pem",
});
 
//Also you can add a callback to wait for the server to start.
serveMe.start(8000, function(){
    console.log("Hosting current directory on localhost:8000");
});

npm run main in a separate cli
then do node node_modules\maximize\maximize.js http://localhost:8000/myscript.min.js
it works!
