We used to treat dummy paths like <stdin>, <std>, <extvar> as
real import locations, which causes obvious problem for importers.
After this change we consistently pass "" (an empty string) as location
for non-imported paths.
We exposed new functions to properly handle all paths.
The first function family, EvaluateFile* which allow evaluating
a Jsonnet program at a specified importable path. It should
be used in most cases.
The second function family, EvaluateAnonymousSnippet* allows evaluating
a snippet without an importable path. It should be used for situations
like the code passed as a commandline argument, stdin, etc.
The old function family, EvaluateSnippet* is now deprecated, but
works the same as before, i.e. the passed filenames are treated
as imported paths.
Changes are required to custom importers to make sure they satisfy
the refined contract.
Fixes#329.
The initially empty ast.StdAst was created to break the circular
dependency. The generation of stdlib AST used to depend on
the primary "jsonnet" package, which meant that "jsonnet"
could not depend on it directly. Hence stdlib needed to be put
in the ast package. Now dumpstdlibast no longer depends on Jsonnet,
so we can get rid of this complication.
All code using ast.StdAst should now use astgen.StdAst.
So far `std.jsonnet` needed to be updated seprately from
the cpp-jsonnet submodule. Since we should update it anyway
at the same time (to make sure the tests are running fine),
we can just as well get it directly from there, eliminating
the extra step of copying the new `std.jsonnet` version.
This change updates the cpp-jsonnet used.
Add go mod
Also make the build docs nicer and cleanup the file directory to be in line
with most other go projects. This also make it so you can build jsonnet
without setting -o on go build.
