Build/test instructions?

[mdeguzis]

The basic commands (pnpm run build) do not work out of the box. I am new to building this? Can you update the README with instructions? I'd like to take a crack an improving the log file viewer.

$ npm run build

> [email protected] build
> shx rm -rf dist && rollup -c

$ pnpm i
$ pnpm run build

<same output>

• Update 1: Seems you have to use Node 18, Node 22 was too new. Still would like confirmation of steps. I know I can load (hopefully) the ZIP via the developer area of Decky Loaoder.

This is what I have so far..

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# See: https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-plugin-template
# Requires: npm i -g pnpm@9

SCRIPTDIR=$PWD

pnpm i
pnpm run build

cd ..
rm -fv decky-cloud-save.zip
zip -r decky-cloud-save.zip \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/bin \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/dist \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/LICENSE \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/main.py  \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/package.json  \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/plugin.json  \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/py_modules  \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/quickstart  \
	$(basename ${SCRIPTDIR})/README.md

scp decky-cloud-save.zip deck@steamdeck:/home/deck/decky-dev/

rm -f decky-cloud-save.zip

Hangs on install though via ZIP

Doh... I see the vscode tasks

I found that vscode tasks can't really see the env well for node installed via tools like "mise" or "nvm", this worked around that:

sudo ln -s /home/mikeyd/.local/share/mise/installs/node/18/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

Yeah I was just using the default plugin configuration in the template. Those can for sure be improved 😅. If you wanna change those, you should consider contributing to the template, would be much bigger impact!

[mdeguzis]

To be honest, the vscode tasks are kinda annoying and limited. It seems much easier to just update package.json with scripts. Make it universal vs relying on vscode. I'll probably do that later.
