THE workspace-d CLI IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED - API/LIBRARY USERS SEE serve-d:workspace-d

workspace-d started out as executable for different IDEs to implement D functionality within them back before LSP was a thing. Over time all functionality got exposed using workspace-d as a library in a new program called serve-d which is a server implementation of the Microsoft Language Server Protocol. (LSP)

As the LSP server has been very stable for a while and workspace-d as a standalone not being used anymore I decided to deprecate the workspace-d command line interface with its proprietary RPC protocol.

The source code of workspace-d now lives in serve-d as a subpackage (serve-d:workspace-d).

As the proprietary RPC protocol has been removed a lot of template code has been removed and compilation times as library have sped up. Furthermore it's possible to use all of D's features in workspace-d APIs now, without needing to take care of the custom RPC protocol.

workspace-d wraps dcd, dfmt and dscanner to one unified environment managed by dub.

It uses process pipes and json for communication.

Installation

Precompiled binaries for windows & linux

Automatic Installation

Just run install.sh or install.bat (Windows/WIP)

sh install.sh

Manual Installation

First, install the dependencies:

• dcd - Used for auto completion
• dfmt - Used for code formatting
• dscanner - Used for static code linting

Then, run:

git clone https://github.com/Pure-D/workspace-d.git
cd workspace-d
git submodule init
git submodule update
dub build --build=release --compiler=ldc2

Either move all the executable binaries to one path and add that path to the Windows PATH variable or $PATH on Posix, or change the binary path configuration in your editor.

Usage
