DBConnection

Example

// build.gradle 
buildscript {
    repositories {
        flatDir { dirs '/path/to/latte/build/libs/' }
    }
    dependencies {
        // Remember to replace this version number with your own version
        classpath "oe.espresso.latte:latte:0.2.0"
    }
}
    
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}
    
apply plugin: 'base'
apply plugin: 'oe.espresso.latte.latte'

task createDB(type: oe.espresso.latte.CreateDatabase) {
    dbName = "sports2020"
    destDir = "${buildDir}"
    sourceDb = "/path/to/dlc/sports2020.db"
    largeFiles = true
}

task connectDB(type: oe.espresso.latte.DBConnection) {
    dependsOn createDB
    dbName = 'sports2020'
    dbDir = "${buildDir}"
    id = 'sports2020'
    singleUser = true
}

task compileCode(type: oe.espresso.latte.CompileAblTask) {
    dependsOn connectDB
 
    source('src/abl')
    include('**/*.p')

    dbConnections << 'sports2020'

    destinationDir = file("${buildDir}/compiled")
}

In your project, create a foo.p file in the src/abl folder.

// src/abl/foo.p
MESSAGE 'I am foo'.

This example creates a database, creates a DBConnection, and uses the created connection to compile code in src/abl.

Use the command ./gradlew compileCode to run this example.

If successful, there should be a foo.r in build/compiled of your project.
