Powershell version of SWI related embedding script

[hnbeck]

Hi all,

I'm using Logtalk a lot with Win11 and Win10. I've started to port some SWI and embedding related scripts to PowerShell. They can be found here.

These are EXPERIMENTAL at the moment, but the swipl_logtalk_qlf.ps1 should do all (in the Windows way) as the original bash script. I've tested this for my setup, the tests of every execution branch in the script is limited :)

My setup is Win10, Win11, Logtalk 3.54 and 3.55 beta.

The setup script for LOGTALKUSER doesn't work because I can not run WSH for security reasons. So this one and some scripts related to Logtalk developer tools may be good next candidates for porting.

Cheers

Hans

It should be quite doable to write a PowerShell version of the logtalk_user_setup.js script as its mainly creating directories, copying files, and creating symbolic links/shortcuts.

Writing and testing logtalk_user_setup.ps1. Hope to complete it today.

Hui, great :)

I have a first version of the script working. Two pain points are (1) the script execution policy must be changed (I used powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted) and (2) the script requires admin privileges (due to the creation of symbolic links).

Pushed experimental versions of some of the integration and setup scripts. Feedback most welcome.

[pmoura]

Update the integration scripts to call the logtalk_user_setup when required.

Pushed a working SWI-Prolog swipl_logtalk_qlf.ps1 embedding script. Be sure to read the scripts/embedding/NOTES.md file for details.

Execution of PowerShell scripts is also disabled by default for security reasons. So, what's different in this regard from WSH scripts?

The Windows installer for the latest git version (download) makes all *.ps1 scripts available from the system path. Be sure to read the embedding notes on how to use the scripts on Windows.

Committed lgt2svg.ps1 script. It converts the *.dot files generated by the diagrams tool to *.svg files.

[pmoura]

Committed PowerShell versions of all the lgtdoc tool shell scripts.

[pmoura]

Committed PowerShell version of the logtalk_allure_report script.

[pmoura]

Committed PowerShell version of the logtalk_tester script working (minus the timeout option). It requires PowerShell 7.2.x and manually enabling an experimental feature using the command:

Enable-ExperimentalFeature PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing

Timeout option implemented. It requires Git for Windows to be installed in its default location.
