Add skip_deps=AppListSeparatedByCommas feature.
I agree it's a bit of a weird thing, but it's a reasonable and safe extension. When time comes to properly overhaul stuff, skip_deps should disappear entirely.
This allows `rebar ct suites=abc` to consider all suites when
you have a rebar setup with multiple sub_dirs.
Previously, rebar halted after it could not find the suite in the
first dir. But the suite might be present in another dir (when
sub_dirs contains multiple dirs).
This commit makes it so instead of halting, it prints a warning and
continues with looking for the suite in the other `sub_dir`s.
Note -- This uses try/catch to cause the test to be skipped because
otherwise I needed to adjust the return values of 4 functions, the
code path is pretty deeply nested here. Otherwise the whole call chain
needed to be adjusted for this return value:
`run_test -> make_cmd -> get_suites -> find_suite_path`
IMHO, I think for exceptional cases like this it is fine to use throw;
specially since only the {skip} is catched and nothing else.
Handle the case where the error didn't occur in the file being
compiled. That is, if there is an error on line 9 of bar.hrl,
instead of:
/path/to/foo.erl:9: type foo() already defined
print:
/path/to/bar.hrl:9: type foo() already defined
Introduce a new 'raw' option for dependency specs in rebar.config file.
For example:
{deps,
{dependency_name, "1.0.*",
{git, "<...>", {branch, "master"}},
[raw]
}
]}.
When this option is specified, rebar does not require the dependency to
have a standard Erlang/OTP layout which assumes presence of either
"src/dependency_name.app.src" or "ebin/dependency_name.app" files.
'raw' dependencies can still contain 'rebar.config' and even can have
the proper OTP directory layout, but they won't be compiled.
Only a subset of rebar commands will be executed on the 'raw'
subdirectories:
get-deps, update-deps, check-deps, list-deps and delete-deps.
This allows an <app-name>.app.src.script to be defined and evaluated
when <app-name>.app.src or <app-name>.app are loaded. This allows the
user to add project specific manipulations to app metadata.
By default protobuffs doesn't create beams with debug info. This
causes issues when running dialyzer which requires debug info. Read
the `erl_opts` config and pass it down to protobuffs compiler.
Cover gets slower and slower for each application. This is due to the
cover_server internal state. Stopping the cover server between
eunit+cover runs, emptying the cover_server state, gives a ~5-6x speed
improvement when analyzing many Erlang modules. Stopping the cover
server replaces the earlier practice of doing a cover:reset before each
run. On a project consisting of 62 dependencies with a total of 1866
Erlang modules the running time of rebar eunit decreased from ~20
minutes to ~3 minutes.
1. manually insert directory entries to work around issues fixed in
R15B02 erl_prim_loader
2. put the escript archive's beams in appname/appname/ebin
Tested with R13B03 and R15B01.
