@title[#:tag "raco-pollen"]{Using @exec{raco pollen}}
11 years ago
Racket provides centralized command-line options through @exec{raco} (short for @exec{racket command}, see @other-doc['(lib "scribblings/raco/raco.scrbl")]).
11 years ago
Once you install Pollen, you can access the following Pollen-specific commands through @racket[raco] using the subcommand @exec{raco pollen}.
@section{Making sure @racket[raco pollen] works}
Open a terminal window and type:
@terminal{
11 years ago
> raco pollen test}
If @racket[raco pollen] is installed correctly, you'll see:
@terminal{raco pollen is installed correctly}

But if you get:
@terminal{raco: Unrecognized command: pollen}
11 years ago
You'll need to fix the problem before proceeding, most likely by reinstalling Pollen (see @secref["Installation" #:doc '(lib "pollen/scribblings/pollen.scrbl")]).
11 years ago
If your error is like this:
@terminal{Unrecognized command: raco}
You have a deeper problem with your Racket installation (often a misconfiguration of @code{PATH}).

@section{@racket[raco pollen]}
Same as @racket[raco pollen help].
@section{@racket[raco pollen help]}
Displays a list of available commands.
@section{@racket[raco pollen start]}
Start the project server from the current directory using the default port, which is the value of the parameter @racket[world:current-server-port] (by default, port @(format "~a" world:default-port)).
11 years ago
This command can be invoked with two optional arguments.
@racket[raco pollen start _path] will start the project server in @racket[_path] rather than the current directory.
@terminal{
11 years ago
> raco pollen start ~/path/to/project/}
@racket[raco pollen start _path _port] will start the project server in @racket[_path] using @racket[_port] rather than @racket[world:current-server-port]. This is useful if you want to have multiple project servers running simultaneously.
@terminal{
11 years ago
> raco pollen start ~/path/to/project/
> raco pollen start ~/path/to/project/scribblings 8088}
If you want to start in the current directory but with a different port, use @litchar{.} as the path:
@terminal{
11 years ago
> raco pollen start . 8088}
@section{@racket[raco pollen render]}
Render all preprocessor source files and then all pagetree files found in the current directory. If none of these files are found, a pagetree will be generated for the directory (which will include all source files) and then rendered.
11 years ago
This command can be invoked with extra arguments.
@racket[raco pollen render _directory] will perform the render described above, but in the specified directory.
11 years ago
Alternatively, the command can take a variable number of path arguments. @racket[raco pollen render _path ...] will render only the paths specified in @racket[_path ...]. Consistent with the usual command-line idiom, this can be a single path, a list of paths, or a pattern:

@terminal{

> raco pollen render foo.html.pm
> raco pollen render foo.html.pm bar.html.pm zam.css.pp
> raco pollen render *.html.pm}
@section{@racket[raco pollen publish]}
11 years ago
Make a copy of the project directory on the desktop, but without any source files or other Pollen-related files. (This function is pretty lame, and I invite suggestions for improvement.)
11 years ago
@racket[raco pollen publish _project-dir] will publish the project in @racket[_project-dir] onto the desktop in a folder called @racket[publish]. @bold{Warning}: if @racket[publish] already exists on the desktop, it will be overwritten.
@racket[raco pollen publish _project-dir _dest-dir] will publish the project in @racket[_project-dir] to @racket[_dest-dir] rather than the desktop. @bold{Warning}: if @racket[_dest-dir] already exists, it will be overwritten by the newly published directory.
If you're already in your project directory and want to publish somewhere other than the desktop, use @racket[raco pollen publish _. _dest-dir].
