If you're a developer, you can add your own Ripper by following the wiki guide: How To Create A Ripper for HTML Websites.

Compiling & Building

The project uses Gradle. To build the .jar file, navigate to the root project directory and run at least the test you change, e.g. Xhamster. test execution can also excluded completely:

./gradlew clean build testAll --tests XhamsterRipperTest.testXhamster2Album
./gradlew clean build -x test --warning-mode all

The generated JAR (java archive) in build/libs will include all dependencies.

Running Tests

Tests can be tagged as beeing slow, or flaky. The gradle build reacts to the following combinations of tags:

• default is to run all tests without tag.
• testAll runs all tests.
• testFlaky runs tests with tag "flaky".
• testSlow runs tests with tag "slow".
• tests can be run by test class, or single test. Use "testAll" so it does not matter if a test is tagged or not.
• tests can give the full stack of an assertion, exception, or error if you pass --info to the command

./gradlew test
./gradlew testAll
./gradlew testFlaky
./gradlew testSlow
./gradlew testAll --tests XhamsterRipperTest
./gradlew testAll --tests XhamsterRipperTest.testXhamster2Album
./gradlew testAll --tests ChanRipperTest --info

Please note that some tests may fail as sites change and our rippers become out of date. Start by building and testing a released version of RipMe and then ensure that any changes you make do not cause more tests to break.

releasing

edit draft release develop build main the following way:

1. create a new tag with version from ripme filename, e.g. 2.1.12-7-d0b97acd
2. set the title to same name
3. set previous tag to release tag before, e.g. 2.1.11-20-ca96ce88
4. press generate release notes button
5. edit release text as appropriate
6. save

then, prepare the repo for update check, and next release:

1. edit ripme.json, enter new hash, version and short description, and commit
2. set the base tag for next release verison calculation, e.g. 2.1.13 on this commit
3. push tag and commit
4. remove old base tag, not needed any more, e.g. 2.1.12

New GUI - compose-jb

As Java Swing will go away in future, a new GUI technology should be used. One of the candidates is Jetpack Compose for Desktop.

The library leverages the compose library for android and provides it for android, desktop and web. The navigation library is not available for desktop, so Arkadii Ivanov implemented decompose.
