Examples
vala-meson-watcher -d /path/to/src -m /path/to/meson.build -i .vala,.c
This command will watch the directory /path/to/src
for changes, and when it detects changes it will add the new files to the meson build file located at /path/to/meson.build
. It will only include files with extensions .vala
and .c
.
vala-meson-watcher --ros
This command will watch the default directory ./src
for changes, and when it detects changes it will add the new files to the default meson build file located at ./meson.build
. It will include files with the .vala
extensions by default.
Note
- This tool is designed to work with vala projects, but it can also be used with other projects with the correct configuration.
- The script uses the
fs.watch
method of thefs
module, which is not supported on all platforms.
