The blockly from timof1308

Blockly

Google's Blockly is a web-based, visual programming editor. Users can drag blocks together to build programs. All code is free and open source.

You use this git repo to build the msg directory and the blockly-compressed.js for the Open-Roberta lab.

On linux systems one possibility is

you have the closure-library next to this project (you need version 20200719.0.0)
you have installed the closure compiler via npm:
- e.g. npm install --save google-closure-compiler
- check the version: npx google-closure-compiler --version => v20200719
you have installed python 2.7 (:-<)
run the build.py script

A better solution on both linux and windows systems is

you have installed docker
docker run --mount type=bind,source=:your-blockly-git:,destination=/opt/blockly/blockly openroberta/blocklybuilder:1.0.0
in this case no python 2 installation, no closure compiler installation, no closure compiler resources

you have cloned the blockly git https://github.com/OpenRoberta/blockly.git into :your-blockly-git:
you have a feature branch git checkout -b feature/myChanges
you edit a file in the blocks folder to add or change a blockly block and edit the file robMsg/robMessages.js to add or change a message and then re-build the resources. Use one of the possibilities described above. Never change a file in the msg folder, because these changes would be overwritten by the next build.
check your changes in the blockly playground found in the directory tests. One of the many playgrounds will fit your need. You may copy one and modify it. If you are satisfies with your results, continue.
try your results in the Open-Roberta lab: copy the msg directory and the blockly-compressed.js into :your-openroberta-lab-git:/OpenrobertaServer/staticResources/blockly. If you are satisfies with your results, continue.
rebase on master: git fetch;git rebase master
merge to master: git checkout master;git merge feature/myChanges;git push
later delete your feature branch git branch -d feature/myChanges
your changes to blockly are now persisted in the blockly repo and in your :your-openroberta-lab-git:. In the feature you'll commit these changes in the feature branch and eventually you'll merge your changes to develop.

Note, that the blockly repo only provides a master branch. There is no high traffix with this repo and thus it ok to simplify the repo structure.
