Richard Feldman (Nov 27 2022 at 07:02): Richard Feldman (Nov 27 2022 at 07:02):as of this PR, the basic-cli platform (formerly known as examples/cli/cli-platform) is now downloadable from a URL!
this means you no longer need to clone the Roc repo to go through the tutorial - all you need is to download a nightly Roc release and you're all set!
also, the docs have moved from e.g. https://www.roc-lang.org/examples/cli/Stdout#line to https://www.roc-lang.org/packages/basic-cli/Stdout#line
Anton (Nov 27 2022 at 09:10):The nightlies containing that PR are building right now, with the exception of those for MacOS x86_64. We'll try to fix those.
Anton (Nov 27 2022 at 09:39):Linux nightly is published
Anton (Nov 27 2022 at 11:24):Macos apple silicon nightly is published
dank (Mar 01 2023 at 21:33):basic cli link is down. is it stored somewhere else now?
Luke Boswell (Mar 01 2023 at 21:46):roc-lang/basic-cli is this what you are looking for?
dank (Mar 01 2023 at 21:52):no. I saw that Richard shared a link to basic_cli docs which I didn't know existed
but seems to be gone now
Richard Feldman (Mar 01 2023 at 22:08):oh yeah https://www.roc-lang.org/packages/basic-cli/Stdout is 404ing - I guess the CI task to deploy them got messed up somehow :sweat_smile:
Richard Feldman (Mar 01 2023 at 22:31):oh right, https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/commit/fdec3afd2e16fc0f1f48a0f0e3a3a17f751216be
Richard Feldman (Mar 01 2023 at 22:41):ah, figured it out - https://github.com/roc-lang/roc/pull/5083
Richard Feldman (Mar 01 2023 at 22:41):at some point docs generation started including only exposed modules (previously it generated docs for all modules, even private ones) which broke docs generation...this should fix that!
