watch_ninja's Introduction

watch_ninja

watch_ninja combines the awesome ninja build system with the power of inotify to rebuild source files as you edit them.

Installing

go get github.com/scottfranklin/watch_ninja

(Binary distributions of Go1 do not include the inotify library. If you are using one, the necessary files will be fetched from github.com/dersebi/go_exp.)

Usage

cd your/ninja/project
watch_ninja

watch_ninja will rebuild the first target that depends on any source file you modify, and it will automatically keep its source list up to date as you modify build.ninja.

Known Issues

Automatic reload of source file list does not play nicely with subninjas, though if your build.ninja is always the last thing to be modified, then things should work ok.

watch_ninja's Issues

header dependencies not watched

(note: I'm using meson to generate my ninja files, which might affect things)

ninja -t targets rule appears to only list files explicitly listed as the inputs for targets, causing it to miss includes (and other files determined to be dependencies by ninja)

One option is using ninja -t targets all lists all targets, and then one can use ninja -t query TARGET_NAME to get it's inputs. I'm not sure how well querying things like this will scale for large projects.

An alternate may be to use ninja -t deps instead, which dumps dependencies in the .ninja_deps file, but there would need to be a bit of work to ensure it's up to date (given that complete builds aren't run right by watch_ninja) and would need to be merged with targets rule
