# scripting

[Nikky]

so .. the minimal scripting example has been updated.. now it also features the idea integration: https://github.com/NikkyAI/MinimalScriptingExample

although firs time opening i expect it to not work until it ran publishToMavenLocal one on the script-host

if anyone know how to make this work as ONE gradle project without publishing to maven and depending on that, PRs or hints are welcome

[yschimke]

This is all looking so close to awesome, but doesn't quite just work. Do you need to restart or just reopen the project after publishing to maven?

[yschimke]

I'm going to park this for a few weeks and come back. I've got a lot of scripts I'm going to move over from the JSR 223 approach once it's there e.g. https://github.com/yschimke/okurl/blob/master/src/test/kotlin/commands/gmail-inbox.kts

[Nikky]

yes

[Nikky]

you need to reopen it once because idea needs to get the jar which is loaded up from mavenLocal

[Nikky]

@yschimke i think that kotlin scripting is ready enough for that kind of usecase.. especially if you keep your scrift-host and your scripts in seperate repositories

[Nikky]

whati i do is i have a not included samples folder (seperate gradle project) and then do a GradleBuild task pointing to the parent folder that invokes publishToMavenLocal shadowJar which makes it available to the IDE and then i copy the shadowJar over to have it available, similar to here: https://github.com/NikkyAI/MinimalScriptingExample/blob/6524d05610c2c71aa34cf26e7de431f52100cd68/build.gradle.kts#L38-L42 (but this one is doing it on a subdirectry instead)

[yschimke]

I assume the need for separate modules will be fixed. Also extension association and highlighting was working for me. But really I want Coroutines support before I upgrade. I don’t want runBlocking in my scripts

[Nikky]

i wonder if you can make your Script class extend Job or somehow other wrap the code to accept suspending functions

[Nikky]

i think it might just be possile already but i don't relly know that much about how you can use coroutines in all kinds of ways

[Nikky]

either way what you can already to is assign a suspending function a variable that can then be called llater.. its working somewhat well if you want to set multiple generators.. like for avtions you want delayed and/or repeated
but for other usecases its ugly

[Nikky]

i think you might need to open a issue for the suspend functionality.. even if just to keep track of it

[yschimke]

I have one from 11 months ago 🙂 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-23212

[Nikky]

and starred..

[Nikky]

from the KEEP: scriptBodyTarget - the generation into method body is not yet supported, so this parameter is ignored
so.. this seems like it will be possible to set the target to a suspend function

[ilya.chernikov]

Yes, the suspend support in scripts, as far as we imagine it now, depends on implementation of generating script into a method (instead of a constructor + initializers). The issue - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-28140
At the moment it is not clear how long it will take, the previous attempt to implement it was blocked by various technical issues.

[yschimke]

Great that you are working on this, this seems to vastly simplify a typical shell script use, while having clear semantics for the coroutine scope.
