[Module] Mono Engine for scriptcs

ScriptCs.Engine.Mono

This is an implementation of a scriptcs scripting engine using Mono.CSharp and NRefactory. Built entirely on Windows, not tested yet on other platforms. It is implemented as a scriptcs module.

Running scriptcs on Mono

1. Build from source. Package restore is enabled.

2. Install as scriptcs module. Either create a local nuget package and install scriptcs -install [packagename] -g or, if you are using at least scriptcs 0.9.0, simply copy the binaries to /bin folder relative to your script but remember to run with -debug flag.

3. Run. For example, create a test.csx:

    public class Test {
        public string Name {get; set;}
    }
   
    var x = new Test();
    x.Name = "xxx";
   
    Console.WriteLine(x.Name);
    //Console.WriteLine(Env.ScriptArgs[0]); //uncomment if you pass args
    Console.WriteLine("Hello");
   

mono scriptcs test.csx -modules mono -debug

For REPL, omit the file name and pass a -repl flag: mono scriptcs -modules mono -debug -repl

Use REPL in Sublime Text

1. Install SublimeREPL package from package control

2. Install scriptcs package from package control

3. go to ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/SublimeREPL/config/ScriptCS and open Main.sublime-menu file. IF you are in OSX, the location of that file is ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/SublimeREPL/config/ScriptCS

4. Update the "linux" (or "osx") path in that file to "linux": ["mono", "PATH/TO/YOUR/scriptcs.exe", "-modules", "mono", "-repl"]

5. Profit. Open Sublime > Tools > SublimeREPL > ScriptCS to start the REPL

What is currently supported

• execute scripts
• execute scripts which have a combination of classes and statements, however all classes have to be defined before statements
• supports require/scriptargs and script packs in general
• supports REPL without some features (multiline didn't work yet, some issues with dump out and serialization)
• #r to GAC (not testsed against path)

What is not supported

• loose global functions
• statements mixed with classes (you have to first declare classes, then use statements)
• some small REPL issues
• probably a few more things :-)
