init.q optional in one-file package
In a lean package with just a single file, there is no need for the boilerplate overhead of init.q
. At least, init.q
should be optional, not mandatory.
$ ls $QPATH/my-1.0.0
my.q
$ cat $QPATH/my-1.0.0/my.q
\d .my
This conditional statement: https://github.com/nugend/qutil/blob/2bce9deb5585f7166052bfb81012b8d897fedeeb/lib/bootstrap.q#L17
will resolve to false even for single-file directory:
q) key pkgInfo`file
,my.q
q) not 11h ~ type key pkgInfo`file
0b
Was it intended?
I propose changing the line to:
file:` sv f,$[f~k:key f:pkgInfo`file;();1=count k;first k;`init.q];
That will nicely cover all scenarios:
q).utl.require"my/my.q" / file loading scenario
q).utl.require"my" / dir loading scenario; supports single-file dir with or without init.q
Hm. You know I don't know if I completely remember the reasoning for doing it just this way. I think I was just emulating what Python packages did since I like most of how namespace resolution works in Python 3.
Could you file a PR with a test?
