She is an opinionated client for Bob and takes care of the following tasks:

• Implement a full CLI to all of Bob's REST API with corresponding and semantic commands
• Read a build.toml file and translate to REST API calls to Bob
• Plan a build:
  • Bob doesnt know of the order of execution of pipelines
  • Wendy reads the dependencies of a pipeline on other pipelines and schedules them accordingly
  • Trigger all of the upstream pipelines of a pipeline such that Bob can proceed with the builds

Wendy is a reference client for Bob implementing a build with certain opinions but others are encouraged to build their own CLIs using Bob as an engine in ways they see fit.

This is a work in progress in conjunction with Bob and will be evolving.

TBD

• Graal VM
• Clojure CLI(faster) or Leiningen(better Windows support).
• A running instance of Bob

Installing GraalVM:

• Download and extract GraalVM CE. Go to the extracted location and navigate to the directory where you can find bin, lib, jre and other directories.
• Run export GRAALVM_HOME=$PWD.

Clone the repo and from the repo directory:

• Run clojure -A:test -m kaocha.runner if using Clojure CLI or lein kaocha with leiningen.
• Run $GRAALVM_HOME/bin/gu install native-image to get the Graal native compiler.
• Run clojure -A:native-image if using Clojure CLI or lein native-image with leiningen to compile it to a native executable. (Warning: Quite a resource heavy step)
• The executable is found in target/ if compiled via Clojure CLI or in /target/default+uberjar/ with leiningen.
• Running ./wendy can-we-build-it should output "Yes we can! 🔨 🔨"
