How to run swift repl or build swift projects?


Asked by Shay Fuller on Dec 12, 2021 Swift



You can now execute the swift command to run the REPL or build Swift projects. The Swift project uses one set of keys for snapshot builds, and separate keys for every official release. We are using 4096-bit RSA keys. The following keys are being used to sign toolchain packages: Swift Automatic Signing Key #3 <[email protected]>
In fact,
If you’ve installed the latest version of Xcode you should have a swift command available in your terminal, which launches a Swift REPL 1. You can run the Swift REPL from the command line and enter Swift code directly into it.
Consequently, Swift requires a little bit of extra security privilege to run the REPL. The following command creates an ephemeral container, attaches your terminal to it and starts the Swift REPL. A great way to try out pre-release builds!
Also,
You can run the Swift REPL from the command line and enter Swift code directly into it. $ swift Welcome to Swift! Type :help for assistance. 1> println ("Hello world") Hello world 2> :quit Whenever you enter valid Swift code in the REPL, it will immediately compile and run it.
Also Know,
In particular, it currently doesn't support running scripts or other tools as part of the build, or have a way to specify configuration settings in bulk and apply them uniformly. To address this, I have an experimental build system layered on top of the Swift Package Manager, which is imaginatively titled Builder.
