behavior-tree-flat-buffer v0.9.7

BehaviorTreeFlatBuffer

A wrapper for BehaviorTree.CPP for the purpose of writing FlatBuffers. Pass a javascript callback and a valid Groot xml file. A log in FlatBuffer format will be written via the callback in Int8Array Buffers.

Dependencies

• emscripten compiler (I'm using) 1.39.11
• https://github.com/BehaviorTree/BehaviorTree.CPP (included via submodule)

Publish notes to myself

• Publish with:

nvm use 14
source emsdk/emsdk_env.sh
make wasm build
npm publish

Quirks about WASM

• Not sure if I know how to shutdown the wasm properly. It may be better to only have one instance
  • This stems from how I am including the .js file output by emscripten. Not sure how to fix this.
• My test has the wasm file in the path of /out where it is built, but publish requires a different path
  • Thus I patch the .js file

Quirks about wrapper

• BehaviorTree.CPP is well written and throws many errors during the operations I need. Thus I patched out some error checking. I generated the patch with:

cd lib/BehaviorTree.CPP/src
diff xml_parsing.cpp xml_parsing2.cpp > ../../../patch/xml_parsing.patch

or

cd lib/BehaviorTree.CPP/src
cp tree_node.cpp tree_node2.cpp
git checkout tree_node.cpp
diff tree_node.cpp tree_node2.cpp > ../../../patch/tree_node.patch
