Is there a way to programmatically run a sketch plugin on a sketch file from the command line, in any language?
For example: runCommand --file myfile.sketch --plugin myscript.js
Would run the plugin myscript.js on myfile.sketch
Thank you!
This was added in Sketch 43 & above
$ sketchtool run
Usage: sketchtool run <bundle> <command> [ --application=<path> | -A <path> ] [ --new-instance{=YES|NO} | --no-new-instance | -N {<YES|NO>} ] [ --wait-for-exit{=YES|NO} | --no-wait-for-exit | -W {<YES|NO>} ] [ --context=<string> | -C <string> ]
Run a command from a plugin, inside Sketch.
Arguments:
bundle plugin bundle containing the command to run
command the command to run
Options:
--application The version of Sketch to launch. If not supplied, the default is to use the version containing sketchtool. (optional).
--new-instance Launch a new instance of Sketch, even if one is already running. (optional, defaults to NO).
--wait-for-exit Wait for Sketch to exit before returning from this command. (optional, defaults to NO).
--context JSON dictionary of values to pass in to the plugin. (optional).

I'm trying to configure a precommit hook to automatically format the code using IntelliJ code formatter.
Indeed, IntelliJ permit to run the formatter using the command line outside the IDE: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/command-line-formatter.html
So I've created my precommit file:
git diff --name-only --cached --diff-filter=ACM | xargs -L 1 format
So to run format on each staged file. The problem is when I try to execute this command, the IDE shows an error message:
Message: Only one instance of IDEA can be run at a time.
Do you have an idea how to run format outside the IDE even leaving the IDE open?
You can automate the required instructions to allow running a separate instance:
cat >/tmp/format.properties <<EOF
idea.config.path=\${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/format/config
idea.system.path=\${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/format/system
EOF
git diff --name-only --cached --diff-filter=ACM | xargs env IDEA_PROPERTIES=/tmp/format.properties format
/tmp/format.properties: idea.properties location changes after each upgrade of IntelliJ.
In my case, I also retrieve format.sh location from idea command:
format_command=$(grep idea.sh $(which idea)|sed "s,idea.sh,format.sh,")
eval "env IDEA_PROPERTIES=/tmp/format.properties $format_command $(git diff --name-only --cached --diff-filter=ACM|xargs)"
In my bash script i have:
program=*program_name*
condition=$(which $program 2>/dev/null | grep -v "not found" | wc -l)
if [ $condition -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "$program is not installed";
echo -n *mypass* |sudo -S gem install $program;
fi
First of all, it installs program every time. It shows that program is not installed, but i can use it from terminal.
...then, i need to use this program in my cocoa application, for example
program --help
Using
system([pathToFile UTF8String]);
i get:
path_to_bundle/myBashScript.sh: Permission denied // Where path is in bundle
path_to_folder/myBashScript.sh:line 30: program: command not found // Where path is from other system folder
Using NSTask i get program: command not found every time.
I don't understand why this is happening. And i would like to know how i can use this program in my cocoa app.
So, i have found the solution.
When you're trying to run the custom system program from the cocoa app, you should give the full path to the binary.
The problem is in:
program=*program_name*
*program_name* should be full path to binary, in my case it was /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/program-version/bin/program

I need to build a C program which requires a particular Linux package. I set a variable, PACKAGENOTIFICATION, to a shell command which is supposed to check if the package is installed for Ubuntu and print a notification if not:
PACKAGENOTIFICATION := if cat /etc/issue | grep Ubuntu -c >>/dev/null; then if ! dpkg -l | grep libx11-dev -c >>/dev/null; then echo "<insert notification here>"; fi; fi
[...]
maintarget: dependencies
$(PACKAGENOTIFICATION)
other_commands
Unfortunately, while making the dependencies, it runs into the files which need the package, and errors out before executing my PACKAGENOTIFICATION. An alternative formulation is to make a separate target whose only purpose is to run the notification:
maintarget: notify other_dependencies
commands
notify:
$(PACKAGENOTIFICATION)
However, since this phantom dependency always needs to be executed, make never reports that the program is up to date.
What's the best way to have make always report as up to date, but also execute my notification before it dies?
Thanks!
If your version of Make supports "order-only" prerequisites, this will do it:
# Note the pipe
maintarget: other_dependencies | notify
commands
# This should be an order-only preq of any target that needs the package
notify:
$(PACKAGENOTIFICATION)
If not, there are other approaches.
If I ssh into my VPS as the deployment user and run bundle -v I get Bundler version 1.1.5 as expected.
If I run ssh deployment#123.123.123.123 bundle -v, then I see bash: bundle: command not found
Why isn't bundle being shown running commands via ssh?
More Info
$ cat ~/.bashrc
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examples
if [ -d "${RBENV_ROOT}" ]; then
export PATH="${RBENV_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
fi
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
When you run:
ssh deployment#123.123.123.123
You get a login shell on the remote host, which means that your shell will run (...for bash...) .bash_profile or .profile or equivalent AS WELL AS your per-shell initialization file.
When you run:
ssh deployment#123.123.123.123 some_command
This does not start a login shell, so it only runs the per-shell initialization file (e.g., .bashrc).
The problem you've described typically means that you need something in your .profile file (typically an environment variable setting) for everything to work.
Is there a way to automatically run tests, when a file in the app is changed? In rails there is a gem called guard. How can one achieve the same in nodejs?
Not sure if this would work for tests, but Nodemon (https://github.com/remy/nodemon) looks like what you want.
Install Jasmine and run
jasmine-node <dir> --autotest
Try this
touch /tmp/nt; while [ true ]; do if [ find . -newer /tmp/nt -type f
| grep -v app/cache | wc -l -gt 0 ]; then phpunit; touch /tmp/nt; fi;
sleep 5; done
I'm using it to autostart phpunit. Replace phpunit with the command to run tests
replace sleep 5 with sleep 1 if you wish to check every second (depends on the size of your files)
