# Defold Deployer
Universal build && deploy script for *Defold* projects (Android, iOS, HTML5, Linux, MacOS, Windows)
**Deployer** is configurable via settings_deployer file. It's allow use single deployer script for different projects

## Features
- Single deployment script on all Defold projects (Android, iOS, HTML5, Linux, MacOS, Windows)
- One command to build, deploy and read logs from the mobile
- Global and custom settings on project (provisions, bob version, etc)
- Useful build output
- Save your time on preparing debug && release builds
- Nice naming builds to save history of product versions
- Auto *bob.jar* downloading. Flag **use_latest_bob** for using always last version of *Defold*
- Select Bob channel (stable/beta/alpha) and Defold build server via settings file
- Headless build && run for your unit-tests on CI _[here example](https://github.com/Insality/druid/blob/develop/.github/workflows/ci-workflow.yml#L20)_
- Add additional info to *game.project*: *project.commit_sha* and *project.build time*
- Android Instant build in one command (`deployer abr --instant`)
- Redownload dependencies, if they are corrupted
- [Optional] Build stats history with build size, build time and other info
- [Optional] Local build cache and separate build folder to prevent cache reset
- [Optional] Use incremental value for last number in version and android.version_code (enable via _enable incremental version_, _enable_incremental_android_version_code_)
- [Optional] Pre and post build hooks

## Install
For bob build tool you need to install java JDK: https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/11/

For ios deploy by cable you need to install:
- *ios-deploy*: https://github.com/ios-control/ios-deploy

For android deploy and read logs you need to install:
- *adb*: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

For running `bob.jar` you need to install:
- *java*: https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk/11/

For HTML5 builds you need to install:
- Deployer use `zip` command to pack HTML5 build into zip file
- Deployer use `python 2` to run HTTP Server for deploy

For building Android Instant you need to make prepare:
- *Insctructions*: [https://forum.defold.com/t/instruction-android-instant-app-creation/48471](https://forum.defold.com/t/instruction-android-instant-app-creation/48471)
 - Deployer use `zip` command to prepare bundle for _Google Play_

## Setup
Run `deployer.sh` inside your `game.project` folder.

To create your settings file, just copy `setting_deployer.template` with name `settings_deployer` and place it in right place:

- **Global settings** - `settings_deployer` file nearby `deployer.sh` script
- **Custom project settings** - `settings_deployer` file nearby `game.project` file

Custom projects settings will override your global settings

#### Recommendation
Make link to `deployer.sh` file in your system path with name `deployer` (via `ln -s deployer.sh deployer`)

Add execution mode to it via `chmod +x`

Place your **global settings** file nearby new `deployer` file link

Call it in your project folder like: `deployer abd`

## Usage
`bash deployer.sh [a][i][h][w][l][m][r][b][d] [--fast] [--resolve] [--instant] [--settings {filename}] [--headless]`
- `a` - add target platform Android
- `i` - add target platform iOS
- `h` - add target platform HTML5
- `w` - add target platform Windows
- `l`- add target platform Linux
- `m` - add target platform MacOS
- `r` - set build mode to Release
- `b` - build project (game bundle will be in ./dist/bundle/ folder)
- `d` - deploy bundle && run to connected device. Auto start logging from connected device
- `--settings {filename}` - add settings file to build params. Can be used several times
- `--fast` - build only one Android platform (for faster builds)
- `--headless` - set mode to headless. Override release mode
- `--resolve` - build with dependency resolve
- `--instant` - it preparing bundle for Android Instant Apps. Always in release mode

Bundle files will be located at *./dist/bundle/{Version}/*

If no version found in `game.project`, it will be *0.0.0* as default

Deployer need to run on root of your Defold project

Filename will be name {ProjectName}\_{Version}\_{BuildMode}.[apk|ipa]

##	Examples
```bash
# Build, deploy and run Android bundle
deployer.sh abd
# Deploy and run iOS release bundle
deployer.sh ird
# Build Android and iOS release bundles
deployer.sh aibr
# Build and run HTML5 debug build
deployer.sh hdb
# Build and preparing Android Instant Apps bundle
deployer.sh ab --instant
# Build, deploy and run Android bundle in fast mode (useful for testing)
deployer.sh abd --fast
# You can pass params in any order you want, for example:
# Same behaviour as aibr
deployer.sh riba
# Build MacOS debug build and run it
deployer.sh mbd
# Build linux headless build with unit_test.txt settings and run it
deployer.sh lbd --settings unit_test.txt --headless 
# Build Windows release build
deployer.sh wbr
```
