InfiniteScript CLI

The InfiniteScript CLI is the command-line interface for creating, checking, building and running InfiniteScript projects.

Overview

The CLI is accessed through Inf.exe.

Inf.exe <command> [arguments]

inf help Implemented

Displays available CLI commands and usage information.

Inf.exe help

inf version Implemented

Displays the installed InfiniteScript version.

Inf.exe version

inf run Implemented

Runs an InfiniteScript source file.

Inf.exe run Examples\Hello.infs

If the program contains Infinite UI, the native UI runtime is started instead of a web renderer.

inf check Implemented

Checks an InfiniteScript file by lexing, parsing and analysing it without executing the program.

Inf.exe check Examples\Hello.infs

inf build Implemented

Builds and validates an InfiniteScript source file.

Inf.exe build Examples\Hello.infs

inf new Implemented

Creates a new InfiniteScript project.

Inf.exe new MyProject

inf init Implemented

Initialises an InfiniteScript project in the current directory.

Inf.exe init

inf clean Implemented

Cleans generated project files.

Inf.exe clean

Typical Workflow

# Create a project
Inf.exe new MyProject

# Check your code
Inf.exe check main.infs

# Build it
Inf.exe build main.infs

# Run it
Inf.exe run main.infs

Planned CLI Architecture

CLI Errors

InfiniteScript reports structured errors using the INF error code system.

Error [INF1001]

Error ranges are grouped by subsystem, making compiler and runtime problems easier to identify.
