where does buildDog.py run the build CMD ?

[RMartires]

Hey guys,
so i was checking out the current build method in buildDog and i'm a lil confused by one thing.
so when builddog.buid() is called it gets directed to the respective platform build function where it
(a) creates the files and (b) gets the build string & run string but then it returns. so when does it run the build sting cmd ?

like shouldn't it have to run the build sting to create the executable file ?

-Thanks

Good question! It uses a python function called subprocess.Popen() which stands for process open. It's called on lines 19 and 162. I'm not sure why it's called in two different places. The thing about Popen is that it gets back all the information written to stdout and stderr so it can check for success. Errors go to stderr and other compile messages go to stdout. https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#popen-constructor BTW, my normal email address is: ***@***.*** Let me know if that answer is insufficient!

I think it's hard to figure out how it builds because the function that does it is called printResults(). We should rename it to something like buildExecutableAndPrintResults(). Feel free to gut that file and start over.
