mertd / topclean Goto Github PK

This will be necessary to avoid error messages e.g. in #8

This will allow running e.g. topclean && topgrade more smoothly and with less user intervention.
A major version bump would be necessary due to the change in (CLI) API behavior.

Make topclean available for easy installation via scoop.

Avoid unnecessary error messages

While we have a CI pipeline that executes tests, the build and creation of a GitHub release is still manual.

Create a CD pipeline that builds topclean for Windows, MacOS and Linux and creates a GitHub release.

• apt: apt clean
• pacman: pacman -Scc
• yum: yum clean all
• apk: apk cache clean

Currently, the apps and their clean commands are hardcoded. Instead, they should be stored in and parsed from a toml file.

The application should run when distributed with the topclean executable only. Currently, it requires the config.toml as this is where all supported applications and their clean commands are stored.

Examples of how this may be achieved:

• read external app list using a build script and include in executable
• maintain app list in .rs file

Use e.g. https://github.com/clap-rs/clap to parse arguments and offer a --help text.

The current test only does a pretty basic check of whether the cleaning function exits cleanly. However, this would be the case even if e.g. not a single app was cleaned as long as the function itself does not throw an error.

Ideas:

• use an executable that should be in the path for every dev and/or runner environment and confirm it was executed
• add a mock app and confirm that it was called with the correct arguments

Run scoop cache rm * to remove all cached installers.
