bobril-build

library2.4.0jsnpmunverified

bobril-build is the build tool for Bobril applications, providing npm-driven download, compilation, bundling, and testing. Current stable version is 5.4.0, released with locale quote metadata generation. It is actively maintained with a release cadence of minor versions every few months. Key differentiators include deep TypeScript 5.x/6.x support, headless browser integration for tests, and a caching system optimized for large Bobril projects. It is the only build system designed specifically for the Bobril framework.

Debug

Known issues

breakingESM-only since v5.0.0: require() will throw.

fix

Use import statements or update to ESM-compatible Node.js.

affects: >=5.0.0

deprecatedTypeScript 6 compatibility is fixed in v5.2.0, older versions may fail.

fix

Upgrade to v5.2.0 or later.

affects: <5.2.0

breakingCache table version bump in v5.3.2 invalidates old transpilation caches.

fix

Incremental builds may re-transpile; no user action needed but expect one-time slower build.

affects: >=5.3.2 <5.4.0

gotchaHeadless browser logs only print in verbose mode (v5.1.2+); without --verbose, failures may be silent.

fix

Pass --verbose flag or set log level to debug.

affects: >=5.1.2
