Nova Scala

Nova Scala provides syntax highlighting and autocompletion for the Scala language in the Nova Editor.

Generating the libtree-sitter-scala.dylib library

Follow the instructions at Nova Tree Sitter Reference to create a parser for the Scala syntax.

The steps are:

1. Checkout the latest tag from the tree-sitter-scala library with the command git checkout tags/v{latest} -b v{latest} in the tree-sitter-scala directory.
2. Run tree-sitter generate in the tree-sitter-scala directory.
3. Download the Nova parser build tools from Nova Build Script and unzip to the root directory.
4. Copy the Makefile and compile_parser.sh files from the build scripts folder into the tree-sitter-scala directory.
5. Run ./compile_parser.sh . path/to/Nova.app from the tree-sitter-scala directory.
6. Copy the generated libtree-sitter-scala.dylib file into scala.novaextension/Syntaxes/libtree-sitter-scala.dylib and replace the existing library.

Signing The Tree Sitter Library

In order for the extension to be published, the Tree Sitter Library needs to be signed.

From the root directory run codesign -s - ./scala.novaextension/Syntaxes/libtree-sitter-scala.dylib
