Is there a way that get lix to work for private repos?

I'm getting an error asking me to Auth (I should already be via git)

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

you can use the git: protocol if your ssh key is correctly set up

or use --gh-credentials and --gl-private-token through github:/gitlab: protocol

Gabriel Hayes

@piboistudios

Ah thanks

grepsuzette

@grepsuzette

but if you commit this by mistake to github then, big oops... I think better you clone it and then modify the hxml to point to your local path

i don't know exactly how it works with credentials, but the idea scares the shit out of me^^

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

yes it will be saved in the hxml

so ssh+git is preferred

Gabriel Hayes

@piboistudios

How ironic ;) I was just asking my brother earlier why ever bother with SSH git

grepsuzette

@grepsuzette

ssh git is awesome, if it's your server I think it's the natural solution. But it's only for private projects of course

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

same for gitlab/github private repos.

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

when using the git: protocol, what is the syntax to select a branch?

trying lix install git:https://gitlab.com/org/repo#develop, apparently it can resolve the branch's head but somehow unable to switch to it

downloading git:https://gitlab.com/org/repo.git#57a30275b9362746a7aa161140e877e69c6445d6
From https://gitlab.com/org/repo
 * branch            HEAD       -> FETCH_HEAD
fatal: reference is not a tree: 57a30275b9362746a7aa161140e877e69c6445d6

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

ok apparently lix downloaded the files via http zip, then try to git checkout that commit.
however the correct first step should be a git fetch instead

hello. i've installed lime via lix, using
npm lix install haxelib:lime.
trying to run it with npx lix run lime
but get an error

Error: Could not find haxelib "lime", does it need to be installed?
Failed to invoke `haxelib run-dir lime C:\Users\473387\AppData\Roaming/haxe/haxe_libraries/lime/7.8.0/haxelib` because Error: Command failed: haxelib run-dir lime C:\Users\473387\AppData\Roaming/haxe/haxe_libraries/lime/7.8.0/haxelib

.
could anyone please explain what am i doing wrong?

npx haxelib install lime works, but i'd love to use the power of lix downloadlater, which obviously will not work

grepsuzette

@grepsuzette

@kro13 I don't know the syntax with npm or npx, or how to use lime.
FWIW personally I use lix directly, e.g. lix scope create, lix install haxelib:xxx, lix --help, lix run yyy.

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

Which lix version?

Juraj Kirchheim

@back2dos

the following works (prints the lime ASCII-art):

mkdir limetest && cd limetest && npm init -y && npm i lix && npx lix scope create && npx lix install haxelib:lime && npx lix lime

kro13

@kro13

thank you for your replies. @back2dos those commands do not work for me with the same error (. probably something with my setup then. @kevinresol lix version is 15.9.0, node version is 10.15.2, OS windows 10, if it matters.

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

the versions look fine. so yeah probably a setup issue

here is what i've managed to figure out. first of all my global haxe is 3.4.7 which comes with haxelib 3.3.0, which seems to be incapable of performing run-dir. when i use npx haxelib run-dir lime C:\Users\473387\AppData\Roaming\haxe\haxe_libraries\lime\7.8.0\haxelib directly from terminal it uses scoped haxelib 4.0.2 and works fine. however changing @run directive in haxe_libraries\lime.xml does not work and still fails with
Failed to invoke `npx haxelib run-dir lime C:\Users\473387\AppData\Roaming\haxe\haxe_libraries\lime\7.8.0\haxelib
it seems to be running out of scope or something like that. maybe anyone could bring some light here, knowing all above?

kro13

@kro13

updating global haxe is not a desireable option right now(

Juraj Kirchheim

@back2dos

hmm ... seems like the %PATH% set by npx is lost somewhere and then it falls back to your global installation

this may take a while ^^

haxelib run-dir is actually a lix feature anyway ^^

ok, I guess I'll have to uninstall my global lix to see if this reproduces

kro13

@kro13

i'm really grateful for you having time for this. thank you! i'll upgrade my global haxe later today to see if it works as expected, but unfortunately i'll have to roll it back after, so solving this issue would still be great

kro13

@kro13

seems that my previous assumptions were completely wrong. the only way i was able to make lix lime run as expected was to uninstall haxe globally and install lix globally. installing lix locally did not work anyway

kro13

@kro13

i'm afraid to be annoying, but are there any known issues with lix+nme? as one of my projects requires nme, and running it fails for me like this

λ lix nme
The binary nme.ndll is not distrubuted with source code, and is not built for your system yet.
Would you like to build it now Y/n ? >y
Update nme-dev...
nme-dev is up to date

Kevin Leung

@kevinresol

Probably because lime will invoke haxelib ( not npx haxelib)

Maybe that's why you need a global lix

@benmerckx

Anyone experienced haxelib run-dir travix ... run node => Failed to call neko because Error: spawnSync neko ENOENT before? Having some trouble running travix on newly installed windows. Global neko seems to work fine through global lix.

Thomas J. Webb

@thomasjwebb

Is there a way around this issue that doesn't involve modifying the system it's running on?
HaxeFoundation/dox#270

(related to which neko shows up in node_modules when you use npm to install lix)

Juraj Kirchheim

@back2dos

hmm, the easiest solution is to delete the neko binary installed by lix

Thomas J. Webb

@thomasjwebb

In node_modules/.bin?

That just makes it fall back to the system version, which is also old. Shouldn't lix install the right version? I don't want to have to rely on the system having neko installed on it.

Juraj Kirchheim

@back2dos

nah, the thing is that I've never really cared much about versioning neko

because it was already pronounced dead

so lix download neko when its missing ... but if it's there in the old version (2.2) then it doesn't mind

Thomas J. Webb

@thomasjwebb

Yeah I wish dox wasn't still using it. But I was already tempted to just iterate over the api xml and generate html myself...

Juraj Kirchheim

@back2dos

so you need to delete the current one ... on linux/mac it should be ~/haxe/neko and on windows %appdata%\haxe\neko

Thomas J. Webb

@thomasjwebb

I downloaded the system one and the one in node_modules

I mean, deleted

Juraj Kirchheim

@back2dos

node_modules/.bin/neko is just a shell script

it'll launch something like node node_modules/lix/bin/nekoshim.js and that thing actually runs the neko executable

Thomas J. Webb

@thomasjwebb

ah so this ironically probably will work right on netlify just it wasn't on my computer because there already was a global neko.
