bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:49 PMso i thought you wouldnt go for it - b
bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:49 PMbut - b

10/09/2015, 7:49 PMthe thing ive been thinking is - e

10/09/2015, 7:50 PMStu was right to point out buildgen.go in this regard - its not hard - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:50 PMYou can construct in-memory targets pretty easily - b
bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:50 PMwe read 3rd party from package.json, and check source deps (expressed as relative paths in package.json and targets in BUILD files) match up - e

10/09/2015, 7:50 PMPants has no natural good spot in its lifecycle for this today - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:50 PMBut that's not your problem - b
bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:51 PM^ like thats a compromise thats easy enough to implement now - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:51 PMYes - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:51 PMSo the full compromise I made with go was its buildgen is fundamentally in-memory - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:51 PMBut --materialize is an option - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:52 PMAnd its the only way to use it without hacks to task lifecycle today - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:52 PMSo Medium uses it that way - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:53 PMWhere
means - dump out the in-memory targets you just made to disk as BUILD files--materialize - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:53 PMThe idea being folks don't edit a (conceptual) BUILD nearly as often as they edit code - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:53 PMSo the worflow is hack hack hack - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:53 PMIf there is a build error - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:54 PMthen and only then run buildgen - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:54 PMits fast - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:54 PMNot ideal, but its a working compromise - b
bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:55 PMincluding 3rd party? - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:55 PMYes - b
bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:55 PMdoes it also write out 3rd party? - b
bright-dinner-81701
10/09/2015, 7:55 PMok - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:55 PMThat's a seperate option though - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:55 PMsince for go we try real hard to force you to pin 3rdparty revs and buildgen can't - e
enough-analyst-54434
10/09/2015, 7:56 PMSo buildgen emits a floating rev 3rdparty with yellow warnings
