Recast v0.2.0

Changelog

Added ability to recast extensions in AIA files. Instructions for the same can be found in the first post:
Shreyash:
Recasting AIAs

Starting with Recast v0.2.0, you get the ability to recast your AIA files as well. This reduces the manual work of
re-importing every recasted extension in your project.
1. Navigate to the directory/folder where your AIA is placed.
2. Open your favorite terminal in that directory.
3. Now, run the following:
```
recast --input you_app.aia
```
  (Here, you_app.aia is the name of your AIA file)
4. And there you go! All the extensions in your AIA are now recasted, and the new AIA can be found in the same directory with
  name your_app_x.aia .
Note:
When you import a recasted AIA in Kodular (or AI2), your existing project isn’t affected. Instead, a separate project with name your_app_x is created with all the existing work preserved.
Recast now prints a more understandable message if recasting the given extension/AIA is not required.

Upgrading

To upgrade from any older version to v0.2.0, simply go through these installation steps mentioned in the first post:

Using PowerShell (Windows)

Open PowerShell.

Copy and paste the following and hit enter:
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shreyashsaitwal/recast/main/scripts/install.ps1 -useb | iex
Done! You’re all set up.

Using Shell (macOS and Linux)

Done!

Cheers,
Shreyash

Shreyash · July 20, 2021, 4:54am

Please make sure you are using the latest version of Recast (as of now, it’s v0.2.0). To check the version, run recast -V.

And do you get any error message? If yes, post it here.

Thanks @Shreyash for your response

Jinx · July 20, 2021, 4:57am

But mine is the latest one but still error @Shreyash

AppHelper_Studio · July 20, 2021, 7:16am

where i do run this??

Shreyash · July 20, 2021, 7:37am

You are running it in the right place. Now go ahead and run the installation script.

I was unable to reproduce it with the latest v0.2.0. Does this happen only with a specific one or every extension? In either case, PM me the extensions that are showing this error on import.

Jinx · July 20, 2021, 7:55am

@Shreyash thanks for your reply
i have tried one extension and it’s giving error

Swakraft · July 20, 2021, 7:58am

I also use the latest version of recast

Shreyash · July 20, 2021, 8:01am

I’ve identified the issue. Working on a fix.

Anu10 · July 20, 2021, 8:07am

Why it is not saving in correct format as exe in my computer ?

It is saving as .EXE.PSDrop.unk

Shreyash · July 20, 2021, 8:11am

Not quite sure why that might happen.
Try removing the .PSDrop.unk prefix from the executable and see if it works. In case it doesn’t, just re-install Recast.
