Script Files

The TiddlyWiki5 repository contains several scripts in the bin folder that are used to build and deploy TiddlyWiki (.sh for *nix and .cmd for Windows). They can serve as a useful starting point for your own scripts.

All the scripts expect to be run from the root folder of the repository.

bld: builds tw5.com

This script builds several variants of TiddlyWiki5 for deployment on tiddlywiki.com.

By default, files are output to a folder called jermolene.github.com, sibling to the TiddlyWiki5 repo directory. For example:

/TiddlyWork/ - Directory for working with TiddlyWiki5
  |
  +--+-- /TiddlyWiki5/ - Directory containing the TiddlyWiki5 repo from GitHub
     |
     +-- /jermolene.github.com/ - Directory for output files

You can override the build output directory by defining the environment variable TW5_BUILD_OUTPUT. The easiest way to do this is to create a personal batch file to invoke TiddlyWiki5 that first sets the environment variable and then invokes bld.

The files output by bld are:

• readme.md main readme file, output to the TiddlyWiki5 directory
• index.html TiddlyWiki5 standalone HTML file with content from the tw5.com edition
• empty.html TiddlyWiki5 standalone HTML file with no content
• encrypted.html TiddlyWiki5 standalone HTML file encrypted with the password password
• test.html TiddlyWiki5 browser-based test suite (see TestingMechanism)
• static.html static HTML version of the DefaultTiddlers of the tw5.com edition
• static/*.html and static/static.css static HTML versions of individual tiddlers

bld also runs the TiddlyWiki5 Node.js-based test suite (see TestingMechanism)

serve: serves tw5.com

./bin/serve.sh <username> [<password>]

Or:

./bin/serve.cmd <username> [<password>]

This script starts TiddlyWiki5 running as an HTTP server with the content from the tw5.com-server edition. By default, the Node.js serves on port 8080. If the optional username parameter is provided, it is used for signing edits. If the password is provided then HTTP basic authentication is used.

To experiment with this configuration, run the script and then visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 in a browser.

Changes made in the browser propagate to the server over HTTP (use the browser developer console to see these requests). The server then syncs changes to the file system (and logs each change to the screen).

test: build and run tests

This script runs the test edition of TiddlyWiki on the server to perform the server-side tests and to build test.html for running the tests in the browser.

lazy: serves tw5.com with lazily loaded images

./bin/lazy.sh <username> [<password>]

Or:

./bin/lazy.cmd <username> [<password>]

This script serves the tw5.com-server edition content with LazyLoading applied to images.

wbld: builds TiddlyWiki for TiddlyWeb

This script builds and deploys the code for TiddlyWiki in the Sky for TiddlyWeb. If you want to experiment with your own builds of TiddlyWiki5 for TiddlyWeb you could use this batch file as a base.

2bld: builds TiddlyWiki 2.6.5

This script builds TiddlyWiki 2.6.5 from the original source and then displays the differences between them (diff is used for *nix, fc for Windows).

deploy & verbump: deploy TiddlyWiki and bump the TiddlyWiki version number

These scripts are concerned with releasing a new version of TiddlyWiki. See Releasing a new version of TiddlyWiki5.
