Hi all.
I'm very curious to try black-screen. It's awesome to see that somebody took the initiative to make something as interesting as this 👍
I was wondering if installing with brew cask will be implemented?
And also: what's the best way of knowing there's a new release?
Thanks!

Look at my comment at #175 for a temporal Cask you can use to install 0.0.2.

[kevinastone]

@Nnubes256 can you PR that into cask?

[gristel]

@Nnubes256 thanks!

[vlad-shatskyi]

That would be a very nice contribution, @Nnubes256. Without fixing the version to 0.0.2, of course.

[Nnubes256]

The problem here is that Cask only works on releases, not on sources. A workaround here to continue using Cask would be to make nightly/weekly builds, and make Cask skip the SHA256 verification for these.

Cask can also account for software that auto-updates itself with the auto_updates stanza, so an external auto-updater could actually work here(see atom for example).

Otherwise, the only way around is to make a Homebrew formulae that compiles directly from source.

[Nnubes256]

Currently the farthest I got with Homebrew is this:

require "language/node"

class BlackScreen < Formula
  # * Description shouldn't start with an indefinite article (A)
  desc "Terminal emulator for the 21st century."
  homepage "https://github.com/shockone/black-screen"
  url "https://github.com/shockone/black-screen/archive/v0.0.2.tar.gz"
  sha256 "f894a731998eb805563a92ee25db0a613251e62a50d360112ede0f7a8bccd10d"
  head "https://github.com/shockone/black-screen.git"

  depends_on "node" => :build

  def install
    system "npm", "install", *Language::Node.local_npm_install_args
    system "npm", "run", "package"
  end

  test do
    system "npm", "test"
  end
end

Which fails on npm run package with this log:

npm

@kevinastone Maybe when 0.0.3 releases, or when we start getting nightly/weekly builds, whatever happens first. I agree with @ShockOne in that 0.0.2 is simply not ready for Caskroom distribution.

[Nnubes256]

Just found out that the error I'm experiencing was fixed by 0bb5629, which is not on stable, so...

First working Formula:

require "language/node"

class BlackScreen < Formula
  # * Description shouldn't start with an indefinite article (A)
  desc "Terminal emulator for the 21st century."
  homepage "https://github.com/shockone/black-screen"

  # Building fails on 0.0.2 because gulp fails executing tsc.
  # Fixed on commit 0bb5629, but not on stable yet, so disabling stable until then.
  #url "https://github.com/shockone/black-screen/archive/v0.0.2.tar.gz"
  #sha256 "f894a731998eb805563a92ee25db0a613251e62a50d360112ede0f7a8bccd10d"
  head "https://github.com/shockone/black-screen.git"

  depends_on "node" => :build
  depends_on :python => :build # Native modules

  def install
    system "npm", "install", *Language::Node.local_npm_install_args
    # HACK better have Homebrew track the app bundles instead of simply copying them to /Applications
    system "npm", "run", "compile"
    system "node_modules/.bin/electron-packager",
             ".",
             "Black Screen",
             "--overwrite",
             "--platform=darwin",
             "--arch=x64",
             "--version=1.1.1", # HACK also is this
             "--icon=./icon.icns",
             "--asar=true"
    prefix.install "Black Screen-darwin-x64/Black Screen.app"
  end

  test do
    system "npm", "test"
  end
end

To install:
$ brew install --HEAD black-screen && brew linkapps black-screen

To uninstall:
$ brew unlinkapps black-screen && brew uninstall black-screen
