[swift-users] Build specific Target instead of all

[Stefan Bürk]

The main goal was to provide a bunch of simple binary entrypoints for splitting up simple tasks, sharing Packages and a shared package module.



Due we do not needall util binaryies on each server, a selectice build was decided. Because of the planned nature of the simple entry points utils, greate XXX git repositories for each entry point looks a litle bit overdone.



 

So on SERVER 1 we need only compile and install: UtilOne and UtilThree

On SERVER 2 we need only UtilThree




Assuming having not only three or four utils, maybe something beetween 30 and 50 utils ... splittet up to keep cmd line argument simple.





But maybe i'm missing the point ... or is it possible to something like this.



Packages/

Sources/

    UtilOne/Package.swift

    UtilOne/Sources/main.swift



    UtilTwo/Package.swift

    UtilTwo/Sources/main.swift







So we have to chage to Sources/UtilOne and run $ swift build and if needed for UtilTwo do the same.



But would this not end up in installing the references Packages dependenies ( like a mysql/cmysql packe) need in each util in following structure:



Sources/UtilOne/Packages/**

Sources/UtilOne/Package.swift

Sources/UtilOne/Sources/main.swift



Sources/UtilTwo/Packages/**

Sources/UtilTwo/Package.swift

Sources/UtilTwo/Sources/main.swift



But what if we create for each entry point own package repositoreies and having a meta one with a simple Package.swift referencing all UtilPackages.



But still, how to accomplis only building a specific package on a server instead of all ? 



Need to dig in some more playing, but currently it seems that there is no way to keep the simple stuff simple and no way to simply or minimize the need of indepenent git repositories ...

Each target ends up being a module and won't recompile unless it's changed so I'm not actually sure what your goal is. But making three more packages instead of targets will have the effect you ask for.

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for a way to build only a specific Target(chain) instead of all targets in one build run.

Folderstructure

Sources/
              UtilOne/main.swift
              UtilTwo/main.swift
              UtilThree/main.swift

Content of Packages.swift

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "ProjectName",
    targets: [
        Target(
            name: "UtilOne",
            dependencies: []
        ),
        Target(
            name: "UtilTwo",
            dependencies: []
        ),
        Target(
            name: "UtilThree",
            dependencies: [
                .Target(name: "UtilOne")
            ]
        )
    ],

    dependencies: []
)

For building the project:

$ swift build

This will build all three targets in one run.

What i need is to build a specific target, for example "UtilOne", which only builds the binary for UtilOne.

Or how to build two targets instead of all threes ?

Building target "UtilThree" should build UtilOne, because of the dependencies definition, but not UtilTwo.

I couldnot found any documentation or way to get behind this, is there a way to get this work ?

Freundliche Grüße
