The second option where an ahkpm-modules.ahk
contains the rest of the includes is actually a really good idea, but this would mean that ahkpm install
will need to add an include in the ahkpm-modules.ahk file and ahkpm needs to keep track of it.
Also I think we would need an ahkpm uninstall
command to remove the package
BTW in the ahkpm-modules.ahk
file, A_LineFIle could be used to reference it's own path
#Include %A_LineFile%\..\github.com\joshuacc\simple-http\simple-http.ahk
from ahkpm.
The project looks really good.
Thanks!
What if I decide to use the same package/version from my own Gitea or Codeberg or whatever else? This will do regardless of the upstream:
; Option 1: #Include, %A_ScriptDir%\ahkpm-modules\simple-http.ahk ; Optionally: #Include, %A_ScriptDir%\ahkpm-modules\simple-http
It is easier to manage (and it doesn't even need the extension).
Unfortunately, I don't believe that will work, because fundamentally your copy of a package is a different package, where you are free to version and update entirely separately from the original. You could even rewrite the entire git history if you wanted to.
Because of this issue, ahkpm can't allow referring to different git repositories by the same name. Not only because it can potentially cause confusion. It could easily lead to security issues as well.
; Option 2: #Include, %A_ScriptDir%\ahkpm-modules.ahk ; Optionally: ; #Include, %A_ScriptDir%\ahkpm-modulesThis is even better as that file can contain all the packages with full paths.
The end user is presented with just a single line and that's a relief for many AHK users as the target audience is people that doesn't code.
This option may be viable. When working purely with packages that have an ahkpm.json
file and a valid include
path, this would probably work the vast majority of the time. Just automatically update the ahkpm-modules.ahk
file with the includes whenver we run ahkpm install
.
There are two scenarios where it gets more complicated.
- Packages that don't have a single main file to
#Include
, but allow
including several different files. - "Packages" that are just git repositories without an
ahkpm.json
.
The first one may or may not be a big deal, but I do think that it would be confusing to users that including ahkpm-modules.ahk
usually includes all of their libraries, but not always.
The second one seems more problematic. Now, and for a while to come, most of the AHK packages that ahkpm can install will be plain git repositories without any ahkpm.json
file at all. If they happen to only have a single *.ahk
file in the repo, then we could automatically infer the proper include path. But what if it is more complicated? (As many of the existing GitHub repos are.)
At the very least, we would need to find a way to signal to the user that they need to handle those #Include
's manually. And I don't have great ideas about how to do that yet.
Given that your project is written in Go, you can add compatibility regardless of what the users have installed. And is just the removal of the comma:
Yep! This is something I will definitely fix in the next couple of days. I've opened #180 to track it until then.
I was quite surprised when AutoHotkey 2 went into RC. :)
