Crate papyrus

A rust script running tool.

See the docs. Look at progress and contribute on github.

Install papyrus.

cargo install papyrus

Add right click context menu. (May need admin rights)

papyrus rc-add

Remove right click context menu. (May need admin rights)

papyrus rc-remove

Run papyrus from command line.

papyrus run path_to_src_file.rs
papyrus run path_to_script_file.rscript

Implementation Notes

• Right click on a .rs or .rscript file and choose Run with Papyrus to compile and run code!
• Papyrus will take the contents of the source code and construct a directory to be used with cargo. For now the directory is created under a .papyrus directory in the users home directory.
• The compiled binary will be executed with the current directory the one that houses the file. So env::current_dir() will return the directory of the .rs or .rscript file.

Example - .rs

File hello.rs.

extern crate some_crate;

fn main() {
  println!("Hello, world!");
}

Use papyrus to execute code.

papyrus run hello.rs

The src/main.rs will be populated with the same contents as hello.rs. A Cargo.toml file will be created, where some_crate will be added as a dependency some-crate = "*".

Example - .rscript

File hello.rscript.

extern crate some_crate;

println!("Hello, world!");

Use papyrus to execute code.

papyrus run hello.rscript

The src/main.rs will be populated with a main function encapsulating the code, and crate references placed above it. A similar Cargo.toml will be created as before.

Structs

Output	Current output of a process run. Future work to include collected io streams.
Script	A persistent structure of the script to run.

Enums

The type of source file, .rs or .rscript.

Functions

add_right_click_menu	Adds a right click context menu entry for papyrus. Associates .rs and .rscript files with papyrus.
remove_right_click_menu	Removes the right click context menu entry for papyrus.
run_from_src_file	Compile and run the specified source file. Equivalent to calling Script build_compile_dir and then run.
