How to setup an unity-js-scopes development environment?

Asked by Michael Weimann

Hello,

I want to take care of some unity-js-scopes bugs . But I have no clue how to run a compiled version of unity-js-scopes on my machine. What I've done so far is checking out the project and make a successful build. Assuming I've a JS coded scope I want to run with the fresh compiled units-js-scopes version, what to do now?

Tanks
Best regards

Ah nice, you've built the project!

What you need to do now is:
1) run "sudo make install" on the project for the new bindings to be installed on your system,
2) run "unity-js-scopes-tool setup" to sync-up your SDK chroots,
3) remove the <scope>/src/node_modules/unity-js-scopes folder from your scope's project directory, then
4) run the scope again (due to step 3, this will pull in the new bindings and rebuild)

Thanks, it works!

One last point about it: What's the preferred way not messing up my system? Should I run it in a VM/chroot?

Sorry, one more: Would it work if I do a click build and ship the custom build with it?

Sure, I work in a VM for work always, and yeah once you've set up your environment, built your scope click with the custom bindings build, you can ship it that way (the scope is shipped with its dependencies embedded).

Hope that answers your questions.
