1build

1build is an automation tool that arms you with the convenience to configure project-local command line aliases – and then run the commands quickly and easily. It is particularly helpful when you deal with multiple projects and switch between them all the time. It is often the fact that different projects use different build tools and have different environment requirements – and then switching from one project to another is becoming increasingly cumbersome. That is where 1build comes into play.

With 1build you can create simple and easily memorable command aliases for commonly used project commands such as build, test, run or anything else. These aliases will have a project-local scope which means that they will be accessible only within the project directory. This way you can unify all your projects to build with the same simple command disregarding of what build tool they use. It will remove the hassle of remembering all those commands improving the mental focus for the things that actually matter.

Install

pip install 1build

or

pip3 install 1build

Usage

Configuration

• create project configuration file in the project folder with name 1build.yaml

• Example of 1build.yaml for JVM maven project:

  project: Sample JVM Project Name
  commands:
    - build: mvn clean package
    - lint: mvn antrun:run@ktlint-format
    - test: mvn clean test
  

Running 1build for the above sample project:

• building the project

  1build build
  

• fix the coding guidelinges lint and run tests (executing more than one commands at once)

  1build lint test
  

Using before and after commands

Consider that your project X requires Java 11 and the other project requires Java 8. It is a headache to always remember to switch the java version. What you want is to switch to Java 11 automatically when you build the project X and switch it back to Java 8 when the build is complete. Another example – a project requires Docker to be up and running or you need to clean up the database after running a test harness.

This is where before & after commands are useful. These commands are both optional –  you can use one of them, both or neither.

Examples:

1. Switching to Java 11 and then back to Java 8

   project: Sample JVM Project Name
   before: ./switch_to_java_11.sh
   after: ./switch_to_java_8.sh
   commands:
     - build: mvn clean package
   

2. Ensure that Docker is up and running

   project: Containerized Project
   before: ./docker_run.sh
   commands:
     - build: ./gradlew clean
   

3. Clean up database after some commands

   project: Containerized Project
   after: ./clean_database.sh
   commands:
    - build: ./gradlew clean
