Hot restart for Dart console application with fast incremental compilation.

Why do I need this?

If your console application compiles too long before running, and dart run, which is now supports incremental compilation, seems too slow.

Install

Use the dart pub global command to install this into your system.

$ dart pub global activate fire

Use

If you have modified your PATH, you can run this from any local directory.

$ fire

Otherwise you can use the dart pub global command.

$ dart pub global run fire

Here's an example of running a console application:

$ fire bin/cat.dart example/example.dart
> watching 'lib' folder.
> building done, took 0:00:00.000054
void main() {
  print('hello cat!');
}

> press r to restart and q to exit.

While running creates bin/cat.dill incremental kernel snapshot.

    Changes

    Here are the main changes:

    • some issues related to the restarting logic have been fixed.
    • a debug menu (lowercase d) has been added.
    • a help menu (lowercase h) has been added.
    • an auto restart mode on changes to the entry script has been added (see the help menu).
    • the root is now being watched and not just the lib directory.
    • now only changes to dart files are being registered.
    • preparations for automated tests have been added. I plan to finish that part in a future PR.
    • the working directory has been changed to be the directory of the entry script.

  • fire should gracefully handle compilation failures

    fire should gracefully handle compilation failures

    When the code that is being reloaded isn't valid Dart code fire will crash and not report any error messages.

    1. When code can't be compiled fire should expose the error messages that are being produced.
    2. When code can't be compiled fire should not crash and exit.

    A Stacktrace like this one is being thrown when fire crashes.

    Unhandled exception:
Bad state: Expected exactly `602ff002-ed65-4145-851c-5d37f69bc08f` but got:

    Some changes

    Hello @ykmnkmi,

    This PR is rather huge compared to the previous ones. I have some strong opinions on code style that have been enforced here. I'd be understanding If you'd prefer to rather stick to the existing style and copy the fix to #5 over manually.

    Notable non codestyle related changes are:

    • a lowercase s acts like a terminal clear + lowercase r.
    • newlines do not emit a warning.
    • #5 has been fixed.
    • milliseconds are output instead of Duration.toString.

  • Pubspec discovery

    Pubspec discovery

    An exception is thrown when a script is being run with fire x.dart outside of the root directory of a package.

    Error: Error when reading '.dart_tool/package_config.json': No such file or directory

    It would be great if fire could attempt to discover the package root by e.g. recursively walking up the parents and checking each directory for a pubspec.

  • Intellij ux issue

    Intellij ux issue

    I read once that the Dart plugin for intellij has special logic to save the current file when the focus changes to the terminal so that active changes are being registered by flutters hot reload feature.

    Unfortunately, intellij doesn't save the current file when focus changes to the Run window of intellij which is inconvenient for fire users for the same reason.

    A ticket should be opened on the jetbrains youtrack platform to request that intellij saves the current file when the focus changes to the Run window.
