A mod manager for Factorio.

fac-rs's Issues

Better errors

• display = "..." impls for all Errors.
• Add context to existing foreign errors - paths / URLs for JSON errors, etc. Also add display = "..."
• Use quick_main in fac instead of unwrap(). unwrap() only prints Debug of the error.
• Set RUST_BACTRACE to "1" in main() - we always want backtrace.

Local API breaks on TombStones

https://mods.factorio.com/mods/ToadRoach/TombStones

Atleast v0.14.1 has duplicate factorio_version key in its info.json. The web API sanitizes this, but local API reads the actual file so is unable to handle it.

serde issue to possibly allow duplicates: serde-rs/serde#690

Web API broken because of mod portal API changes

Tracking issue for https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=56735

• Querystring parameters in /api/mods are ignored

• Response from /api/mods/$mod_name no longer contains dependencies.

The latter in particular means the web API cannot deserialize the mod{list} response. Even if it could, fac install/update would not be able to do dependency resolution, defeating its purpose.

#factorio suggested waiting since this may not be a permanent state of affairs. If nothing changes by the end of 2018-02, I may consider workarounds like downloading every mod release to a local cache and extracting their info.json in memory.

Factorio installation not detected on Linux

I think the issue is case-sensitivity -- https://github.com/Arnavion/fac-rs/blob/master/factorio-mods-local/src/api.rs#L185 uses SteamApps, where as (my installation of) Steam uses steamapps

Add subcommands for cache management
