A golang parser for Plastic SCM

Go parser for Plastic SCM

Plastic SCM and Semantic Merge provide a way to run a syntactic diff (and merge) based on different programming languages AST.

In order for this to work properly, a special format is required. This project will use golang internal parser to create the required YAML.

Install on windows

Be sure that you have a complete installation of golang on windows

###Install golang yaml

cd %GOPATH%
go get gopkg.in/yaml.v2

###Install goparser

mkdir src\espeleta.info
cd src\espeleta.info
git clone https://github.com/tespeleta/plasticgo.git
go install espeleta.info/goparser
cd %GOPATH%

From now, we can compile and test with:

go build espeleta.info/goparser
go test espeleta.info/goparser

Use

Please refer to Plastic SCM detailed instructions . You can try go parser in the following way:

goparser.exe shell flag.txt

flag.txt is the filename used to create an empty file that plastic SCM will understand as an indication that all initializations by the parser are finished. In golang case, the initialization is immediate.

Once started, the parser will wait reading from standard input the filenames to parse and the output files:

goparser.exe shell flag.txt
\path\to\filename.go
\path\to\outputfile.yaml
OK
\path\to\filename2.go
\path\to\outputfile2.yaml
OK

The parser will indicate with KO if there were any error during the processing, or OK otherwise.
