MyCmd and MyProject Weekly Progress Report: 2025 Week 37

This week I finished integrating the batch bin initialization support to MyProject and reflected that update in all of my MyProject task definition directories. I also began working on release automation for MyCmd and MyProject.

Demo

This week’s demoable goal was to demonstrate what it looks like when required system dependencies (indicated via mycmd.add_to_init_bin_batch calls) are missing. This example is from this test task definition file and the MyProject execution.

A similar error message would be shown for missing dependencies from a MyCmd command or command group.

MyCmd Updates

This week I pushed 7 commits to MyCmd, including the following changes:

Using mycmd.add_to_init_bin_batch in the project task definition files
Several updates to setup-dev-environment.sh
Handling bin/mycmd as a symlink
Switch to using declare -F instead of compgen, which is not always available in non-interactive Bash instances

These changes also include the first contributions from someone other than myself via two pull requests:

Thanks to my friend Justin Hill for these contributions! He was helping me test my current supported installation methods via git using setup-dev-environment.sh and fixed one error and updated the README. Thanks, Justin!

With these changes, I created a new development snapshot tag and have updated my local snapshot worktree to this.

MyProject Updates

This week I pushed 4 commits to MyProject, with the following changes:

Call mycmd.batch_init_bin after loading a task definition directory
Using mycmd.add_to_init_bin_batch in the project task definition files
Added some info to setup-dev-environment.sh
Added missing metadata to the project-info and git child command groups

With these changes, I created a new development snapshot tag and have updated my local snapshot worktree to this.

Task Definition File Changes

After finalizing support for mycmd.batch_init_bin in MyProject, I updated all of my task definition files across my projects to use this new mycmd.add_to_init_bin pattern instead of mycmd.defer_at_startup mycmd.init_bin. The following commits were made:

Other Changes

I haven’t yet committed or pushed these changes, but I have some in-progress work of automating the release process of MyCmd and MyProject. This includes tasks for creating release tarballs, tasks for updating the version metadata in the source files that are used when calling mycmd --version, and other related changes.

Next Week

I will continue to work on release automation this next week as well as dive into what my official supported installation mechanism might be.
