SDKMAN! Extension Commands

SDKMAN! Golang CLI

This project has been downgraded to a mere spike, the learnings of which will lead to the next phase of exploration of the CLI. We are also looking at Rust as an alternative implementation solution.

The current bash implementation is still completely fit for purpose and remains in full production use.

Living Documentation

SDKMAN's development is always driven by tests. More than that, we use Cucumber to describe the behaviour of the CLI in plain English. We do so using Cucumber features, all of which can be found under the features/ folder of this repo. These Features form a body of Living Documentation that evolves with the software implementation.

The Cucumber Features are backed by Step Definitions, snippets of matched code that are invoked in order as the Cucumber Feature are

Development

Prerequisites

Ensure that Go is installed on your system.

Optionally, install Godog for running the Cucumber specifications directly:

$ go get github.com/DATA-DOG/godog/cmd/godog

Running the tests

To run all tests using Go's builtin test support (unit and cukes):

$ cd path/to/the/repo/sdk
$ go test --godog.format=pretty

If Godog was installed earlier, run the Cucumber specs directly in isolation with the following command:

$ godog

Run

To kick the tyres before building:

$ go run sdk.go version

Build

To build and run the binary executable:

$ go build
$ ./sdk

sdkman-extensions's Issues

.sdkrc to store versions for specific directory

@musketyr commented on Tue Aug 30 2016

I would be great if there is alternative to .nvmrc file in NVM.

Given .sdkrc file in current directory with following content

grails=3.2.0.M2

When I run sdk use
Then grails version 3.2.0.M2 is downloaded if not present yet
And grails version 3.2.0.M2 is used in current shell

This is already mostly supported in the sdkman-extensions project by way of the sdk switch command. Feel free to give it a try and/or raise any PRs on this to improve it.

@musketyr commented on Wed Aug 31 2016

this looks it's doing way too much magic and does not work for every candidate supported. I would prefer having separate file. let's keep this option open.

@marc0der commented on Wed Aug 31 2016

For sure, it's not in a great state.
Is that you volunteering to write a new extension? :-)

@marc0der commented on Wed Aug 31 2016

Moving this issue over to the sdkman-extensions project, as this will not be implemented in the CLI.

Link to documentation has transposed D and K in URL

The link to the SDKMan home in the README file has the URL skdman.io instead of sdkman.io.

Automatically select Grails version to use

It would be great to implement a feature as in https://github.com/deluan/grails.sh to start the proper Grails version (even one which doesn't have wrapper implemented) by parsing application.properties.
