powerline-go-moodle

A Moodle plugin for powerline-go

This plugin adds a segment which displays the Moodle version the current directory belongs to.

It works by finding the parent directory containing a composer.json for a project called "moodle/moodle", then parses the $release variable from the version.php file. It also works for Totara.

Installation

Builds of powerline-go-moodle are available for Linux, MacOS and Windows on amd64, arm64 and x86 architectures.

Snap

On ubuntu and other supported Linux distributions, the easiest way to get powerline-go-moodle is to install the snap:

snap install powerline-go-moodle

Due to strict confinement of snaps, the plugin will only be able to run within your home directory by default. It can also run on volumes mounted under /media if you connect the removable-media plug:

sudo snap connect powerline-go-moodle:removable-media

Pre-built binary

If you cannot use the snap, pre-built binaries are available on the Releases page.

Download the binary, put it somewhere in your $PATH, and run chmod +x powerline-go-moodle to make it executable.

Build

For all other cases, you can build from source. You will need to have go installed.

Clone this repository and run go install

git clone https://github.com/marxjohnson/powerline-go-moodle
cd powerline-go-moodle
go install

This will place the powerline-go-moodle binary in your $GODIR/bin directory. Make sure this is added to your $PATH.

To confirm it is working, cd to a directory containing a Moodle codebase and run powerline-go-moodle

$ cd moodle
$ powerline-go-moodle
[{"name":"moodle","content":"M4.5dev+","foreground":15,"background":166}]

Usage

Add moodle to the -modules argument when you configure powerline-go for your shell. For example, for Bash, your .bashrc should contain something like:

function _update_ps1() {
    PS1="$($HOME/go/bin/powerline-go \
	    -error $? \
	    -jobs $(jobs -p | wc -l) \
	    -hostname-only-if-ssh \
	    -modules 'aws,cwd,git,root,exit,moodle')"

    # Uncomment the following line to automatically clear errors after showing
    # them once. This not only clears the error for powerline-go, but also for
    # everything else you run in that shell. Don't enable this if you're not
    # sure this is what you want.

    #set "?"
}
