Set default output path for vsh scripts

[Brixy]

Hi!

I am considering V as our default scripting language (along with bash). Tests are very promising!

One thing bugs me: when you execute a .vsh script, the binary is compiled into the same directory. This is not convenient for scripting, as we track our scripts with git. So I would like to set a different output path for all .vsh scripts (but not for regular .v scripts), maybe either with a folder or project wide respected config file or an environment variable.

Is this possible?

Currently we use this workaround:

#!/usr/bin/env -S v -o ${HOME}/.local/share/v/my-script

Thank you very much.

Hi,

You can use the VFLAGS env var for this.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for asking back.

It seems, that V does not allow paths without filenames with -o? Is this even a bug?

Go:

go build -o bin/ my-script.go

works. Directory is optinally created.

V:

v -o bin/ my-script.v

builder error: '/home/brixy/project/bin/' is a directory

@Brixy please create a github issue. Will be implemented.
