Vite is trying to compile the scripts/parsers/in contents
Most appropriate sections of the p5.js website?
Other (specify if possible)
What is your operating system?
Windows
Web browser and version
N/A
Actual Behavior
When running npm run dev, sometimes we run into Vite errors because it's trying to compile the js code in scripts/parsers/in and you get an error message from the internals of p5.sound. @lukeplowden and I have also found that the time from starting the dev server to being able to load the site is noticeably faster (at least on windows) after deleting the contents of that folder.
Expected Behavior
The scripts/parsers/in folder is mostly just used to produce the reference material. So far, we keep it around based on the assumption that cloning and setting up the main p5.js would be slower if we didn't, but we don't update the website reference all that often (just when a new version is released) compared to how often we make other changes to the site. So maybe it would be best if the reference parser script clears out the scripts/parsers/in folder after it's done? (Possibly scripts/parsers/out too?)
Steps to reproduce
-
Build the reference from
npm run build:reference - Launch the dev server with
npm run dev
Would you like to work on the issue?
Someone else can take this on if desired!
Hey @davepagurek
I have created the scripts for clearing out src/parsers content and it is working perfectly, npm run build:reference creating the reference files in src\content\reference\en and then deleteing the cloned repo in src/parsers/in and out too
my question is that i have created a cleanUpDirectory function in src/scrips/utils.ts , because the cloneLibraryRepo was also present in the utils.ts, is it the right place to setup that function ?
Should this be closed now that the PR is merged @davepagurek ? Or what remains to be done?
