Examples

vala-meson-watcher -d /path/to/src -m /path/to/meson.build -i .vala,.c

This command will watch the directory /path/to/src for changes, and when it detects changes it will add the new files to the meson build file located at /path/to/meson.build. It will only include files with extensions .vala and .c.

vala-meson-watcher --ros

This command will watch the default directory ./src for changes, and when it detects changes it will add the new files to the default meson build file located at ./meson.build. It will include files with the .vala extensions by default.

Note

  • This tool is designed to work with vala projects, but it can also be used with other projects with the correct configuration.
  • The script uses the fs.watch method of the fs module, which is not supported on all platforms.
