This offers very few advantages now, but helps support the following in
the future:
- Reuse test support code across multiple projects (useful for
multi-loader).
- Allow using test fixture code in testMod. We've got a version of our
gametest which use Kotlin instead of Lua for asserting computer
behaviour.
We can't use java-test-fixtures here for Forge reasons, so have to roll
our own version. Alas.
- Add an ILuaMachine implementation which runs Kotlin coroutines
instead. We can use this for testing asynchronous APIs. This also
replaces the FakeComputerManager.
- Move most things in the .support module to .test.core. We need to use
a separate package in order to cope with Java 9 modules (again,
thanks Forge).
- Add a new Node plugin. This automatically installs npm dependencies
and provides a "NpxExecToDir" to dir task. This allows us to make the
doc website task dependencies a little nicer, by simply chaining
tasks together, rather than doing dependsOn + `input.files(the other
task output)`.
- Switch over to CurseForgeGradle from CurseGradle. The latter is
super clunky to use in non-Groovy languages.
- Copy our Modrinth description body to our repo, and add support for
syncing it. We'll still have to do CF manually I think.
Look, I don't enjoy having 600 LOC long build.gradle files, it's just
very easy to do! This at least moves some of the complexity elsewhere,
so the build script is a little more declarative.
It's more verbose as the default license plugin doesn't support multiple
license headers. However, it also gives us some other goodies (namely
formatting Kotlin and removing unused imports), so worth doing.
Previously illumainate required manual users to manually download it and
place it in ./bin/. This is both inconvenient for the user, and makes it
hard to ensure people are running the "right" version.
We now provide a small Gradle plugin which registers illuaminate as a
ependency, downloading the appropriate (now versioned!) file. This also
theoretically supports Macs, though I don't have access to one to test
this.
This enables the following changes:
- The Lua lint script has been converted to a Gradle task (./gradle
lintLua).
- illuaminateDocs now uses a task definition with an explicit output
directory. We can now consume this output as an input to another
task, and get a task dependency implicitly.
- Move the pre-commit config into the root of the tree. We can now use
the default GitHub action to run our hooks.
- Simplify CONTRIBUTING.md a little bit. Hopefully it's less
intimidating now.
