./src

Contains all the working files.

./src/appengine

Contains app engine configuration files.

./src/site

./build

Generated by Jekyll, to be deployed to server. This directory is transient, can be deleted.

• Ensure you have Ruby 1.9.3. (Version 2.0.0p247 worked for me.)
• Ensure you have Python 2.7.
  • On a Mac? You might want the binary install of Python at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/
• Open a new Terminal.
• Run sudo gem install fast-stemmer -v '1.0.2'.
• Run sudo gem install bundler.
• Run sudo bundle install from the root of your dartlang project.
  • This gives you liquid, jekyll, and more.
• If you see errors similar to library X (at master) is not checked out. Please run 'bundle install', you should run bundle install (without the sudo).
• Download and install the App Engine launcher: https://developers.google.com/appengine/downloads
  • Tell App Engine to use Python 2.7 if it's not.
    • It will say, in the log "you're using 2.6".
    • On a Mac?
      • Go to Preferences, and enter the direct path to the Python 2.7 binary, which you downloaded from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/.
        • The full path is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7.
  • Ask an admin to invite you to modify the Dart project on the Google App Engine.

• Install Python and Ruby using Windows installers.
• Install ruby dev kit for Windows.
• Run gem install bundler.
• Run bundle install from the root of your dartlang project.

• Create a GitHub login login if you don't already have one.
• Ask an admin to invite you to the dart-lang project on GitHub.

On a Mac:

• Make sure you have Xcode (contains git)
• Install depot_tools: $ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
• Add depot_tools to your PATH: $ export PATH="$PATH":pwd/depot_tools NOTE: You may want to add this to your .bashrc file or your shell's equivalent so that you don’t need to reset your $PATH manually each time you open a new shell.

• Make sure you are in the root of this project.
• Run the server: make server
• Your web browser opens to http://localhost:8081.
  • You may need to reload once.
• Edit, create docs as normal.
• To run tests, run ./runtests.sh.

Note: If you see single-page breadcrumbs on pages such as http://localhost:8081/tools/pub/cmd/pub-build.html, make sure that you've installed the latest gem versions. (Run sudo bundle install and then bundle install.)

You probably won't have make available on the command line by default.

• To just get up and running, run jekyll from the src/site folder.
• This starts up the Jekyll webserver and generates into build/static.
• If Jekyll does not generate output, you need to type chcp 65001 at the command prompt to change the code page to UTF-8. (Jekyll fails silently if this is not done.)
• To clean, simply delete the contents of build/static and restart jekyll.

• Run make clean && make deploy.
  • This builds the site and places everything into build/.
  • This command also uses the current branch for the app engine version name.
  • This command will then deploy the site. (Note: You can also run make clean && make build and then deploy using App Engine.)
• You will probably need to generate an App-specific password.
  • Save this into the App Engine Launcher during the first deployment.

Did you just run a Dartisans? Good for you! Here's what you need to do:

1. Update the description to be present tense (instead of future), and remove the link to the moderator page.
2. Ensure the episode is added to the Dartisans playlist, owned by Google Developers channel.
3. Sort the playlist by date.
4. Ensure your episode explicitly sets a Recorded On date.
5. Format your episode's title like this: "Dartisans ep. XX: Subtitle Here"
6. Pick a great image thumbnail. Don't use the static Dart logo.
7. Now run make dartisansplaylist
8. Test it, commit, and go!

The files under docs/dart-up-and-running/contents are autogenerated from the DocBook files for Dart: Up and Running. Here's how to update these files.

First, prepare:

• Make sure dart (the Dart VM) is in your PATH.

  which dart /Users/me/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart

• Make sure xsltproc is in your PATH.

  which xsltproc /usr/bin/xsltproc

• Find a copy of the latest .xml files that make up dart-up-and-running. For example:

  ls ~/Dart/dartbook/GITHUB LICENSE bookinfo.xml ch02.xml ch05.xml figs README.md ch00.xml ch03.xml code foreword.xml book.xml ch01.xml ch04.xml colo.xml

Now you're ready. From the top directory of this repo, run the following command, specifying the directory that contains ch*.xml:

make book BOOK_XML_DIR=<dir-with-xml-files>

Example:

make book BOOK_XML_DIR=~/Dart/dartbook/GITHUB

Wait 4-5 minutes for results.

Very carefully check the diffs, paying special attention to the headers at the top. Rerun the make book command if you aren't sure of the changes.

(Yes, different runs of make book can have different results, even when the .xml files haven't changed. The problem I've noticed has been misnaming files or skipping them in the navigation. Reported as dartbug.com/8128.)
