You can then do './scripts/python -m venv /path/to/venv' to create
a virtual env based on the bundled Python, which can be handy if
you don't happen to have the appropriate version of Python installed
separately.
ts_library() is deprecated and will presumably be dropped from a
future rules_nodejs, and it wasn't working with the jest tests
after updating, so we switch over to ts_project().
There are some downsides:
- It's a bit slower, as the worker mode doesn't appear to function
at the moment.
- Getting it working with a mix of source files and generated files
was quite tricky, especially as things behave differently on Windows,
and differently when editing with VS Code. Solved with a small patch
to the rules, and a wrapper script that copies everything into the
bin folder first. To keep VS Code working correctly as well, the built
files are symlinked into the source folder.
- TS libraries are not implicitly linked to node_modules, so they
can't be imported with an absolute name like "lib/proto" - we need
to use relative paths like "../lib/proto" instead. Adjusting "paths"
in tsconfig.json makes it work for TS compilation, but then it fails
at the esbuild stage. We could resolve it by wrapping the TS
libraries in a subsequent js_library() call, but that has the downside
of losing the transient dependencies, meaning they need to be listed
again. Alternatively we might be able to solve it in the future by
adjusting esbuild, but for now the paths have been made relative to
keep things simple.
Upsides:
- Along with updates to the Svelte tooling, Svelte typing has improved.
All exports made in a Svelte file are now visible to other files that
import them, and we no longer rebuild the Svelte files when TS files
are updated, as the Svelte files do no type checking themselves, and
are just a simple transpilation. Svelte-check now works on Windows again,
and there should be no errors when editing in VS Code after you've
built the project. The only downside seems to be that cmd+clicking
on a Svelte imports jumps to the .d.ts file instead of the original now;
presumably they'll fix that in a future plugin update.
- Each subfolder now has its own tsconfig.json, and tsc can be called
directly for testing purposes (but beware it will place build products
in the source tree): ts/node_modules/.bin/tsc -b ts
- We can drop the custom esbuild_toolchain, as it's included in the
latest rules_nodejs.
Other changes:
- "image_module_support" is moved into lib/, and imported with
<reference types=...>
- Images are now imported directly from their npm package; the
extra copy step has been removed.
Windows users may need to use "bazel clean" before building this,
due to old files lying around in the build folder.
I mourn the time lost trying to track this down :-(

We can't patch the minified file in dist without essentially duplicating
it, so this change also switches from the external file to including
the src file as part of the bundle.
Uses the logic from the sqltools VSCode add-on, with a workaround
for the use of 'type' in some table columns.
By detecting the presence of 'BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY' we can tell
if the rule is running in test mode or was run directly, avoiding the
need for separate check and fix rules. It might be nice to extend this
to other formatting rules in the future as well.
Running and testing should be working on the three platforms, but
there's still a fair bit that needs to be done:
- Wheel building + testing in a venv still needs to be implemented.
- Python requirements still need to be compiled with piptool and pinned;
need to compile on all platforms then merge
- Cargo deps in cargo/ and rslib/ need to be cleaned up, and ideally
unified into one place
- Currently using rustls to work around openssl compilation issues
on Linux, but this will break corporate proxies with custom SSL
authorities; need to conditionally use openssl or use
https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest/pull/1058
- Makefiles and docs still need cleaning up
- It may make sense to reparent ts/* to the top level, as we don't
nest the other modules under a specific language.
- rspy and pylib must always be updated in lock-step, so merging
rspy into pylib as a private module would simplify things.
- Merging desktop-ftl and mobile-ftl into the core ftl would make
managing and updating translations easier.
- Obsolete scripts need removing.
- And probably more.
