Dub doesn't really work like other package managers. When I load
a package:
dub fetch scriptlike
It stores it someplace and doesn't say where. You have to run
'dub list' to figure out where. That's is very different than
other packages. It deserves a bigger mention in the meager
documentation.
I've been trying to init a project using the command
dub -init -f sdl trickproject
-or-
dub -f sdl -init trickproject
and nothing seems to parse.
So, I look at the source code for the format option and see this:
args.getopt("f|format", &m_format, [
"Sets the format to use for the package description file.
Possible values:",
" " ~ [__traits(allMembers, PackageFormat)].map!(f => f ==
m_format.init.to!string ? f ~ " (default)" : f).join(", ")
]);
It doesn't look straightforward at all. Not sure why there is so
much complexity on this particular commandline option, but
shouldn't these command options work the way I have them?
In the interactive mode, I get to make the selection for the
project file format. I don't see many examples of how to use
options.
