Run /test BaCon online

clean link if you want to do your own thing
cocalc.com/app

One I did to test on
cocalc.com/projects/e67b0d76-34ed-44c1-a220-b28373a6ade0/files/Welcome%20to%20CoCalc.term?session=default


it's very easy to do this it took me about a minute

1.) you select file and upload bacon.sh you can get it from fossil

2.)then you upload a test file b.bac

forgot to change permissions first but can do it online also if needed




have fun could come in handy if you are not at home
or you want to show someone an example how it works
without the setup process of compiling (can think about some new users
that don't have a compiler set up yet or you are not on a linux box )

also could be helpful to confirm if something works
outside of your personal computer


Joe

P.S I did that without signing up
and will look for other sites that allow uploads


============================================
just in case you want to confirm the steps
any bac file would work

here is the bacon file b.bac



OPTION BASE 1
LOCAL dimension

str$ = "some text we want to convert to an array then count how many words it has"
SPLIT str$ BY " " TO array$ SIZE dimension
FOR i = 1 TO dimension
   PRINT array$[i]
   
NEXT
PRINT "array count = ",i -1


[bigbass]

I found another better option

repl.it/languages/bash




just upload bacon.sh
and any bacon demo.bac you want to test
the user interface is straight forward and easy to use

if any doubts look at the screenshot
I didn't have to sign up to use this

Joe

for example I am using the raspberrypi 3
for my personal testing


but now I can test with
GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

to see if there are any differences and avoid bugs for x86 64


I signed up no cost just to send the working example demo

repl.it/talk/share/online-bacon/60259




they also have for node.js (if you need it)







one more if you want to test from the command line
feed it some arguments

./split some text we want to convert to an array then count how many words it has



call it split.bac



SPLIT ARGUMENT$ BY " " TO TOK$ SIZE len_array

FOR i = 0 TO len_array - 1
PRINT  TOK$[i]
NEXT i

PRINT
PRINT len_array - 1

Hello bacon world

I was curious to see if I could actually build bacon.bac
to have the compiled version too
and yes ! it takes 15 min to build not bad for online
*the RPI3 takes longer

a screen shot says a thousand words

I guess this could be very useful to walk people though problems
to see how it should work with the minimum clutter of details


also if someone just wanted to test the latest beta version and see if the
latest version would solve the problem or not on a clean machine

now anyone could test bacon online


Joe

P.S once you have the bacon binary
you can now easily get files from the URL and compile them in one small step
./bacon http://www.basic-converter.org/sinus.bac



and run it in the terminal it works!

./sinus

Thanks Joe,

That's actually very convenient! And cool for demonstration purposes.

Thanks for pointing out this possibility.

Best regards

Hello Peter

thanks for the feedback (hope this can be useful for bacon users)

*for my first attempt I manually uploaded the needed
files from fossil

but I wanted to show how we could build
from source (why for example the raspberry pi doesn't have an official
a bacon deb )

and we are forced to build from source to even try bacon
for the first time

so I made a virtual build script
that compiles bacon in the virtual bash online web site



its called source-installer

it skips the make install (and the debian installer)
and the bacon binary just gets copied to the virtual
home directory ( so its safe to use online or in a sandbox )


repl.it/talk/share/online-bacon/60259
there are a few extra steps just to check if all went well
if you are curious you could check the config.log



virtual from inside the sandbox
source-installer

./source-installer

Hello


What's nice here is we can share a working environment
not just a code example this means it can show how it works in real time
then its up to you to get the same results on your box
the code demos confirm that they are working on an independent sand boxed machine



I know that javascript and node are not popular
with some bacon users

probably because it is thought that we can't mix them or use them together
but we can


I wrote a javascript bacon app compiler using node called compile.js
to show that this can be done even in a remote sandbox

Note: in the remote sanbox I can't install bacon into the system
so I need to prefix the bacon command ./bacon

but if you use this on your personal computer we can call the system bacon
directly without the ./


how do I test this ?
easy just type this command in the terminal
node compile.js


it wlll compile a.bac and then run the program ./a
for you automatically

I already did this step so you don't have to do it
the code is all on this site everything is 100% transparent
and we can install using npm!
for example I first installed node
npm install node

then the other node dependencies


repl.it/talk/share/bacon-app-compile-using-javascript-and-node/81353

have fun

this means bacon can be used with javascript and node
which can open up new doors where they were closed before

Joe



now working with a link
compile.js code
