Bash script for downloading and running the latest build.

This was originally written by Zombie Feynman (#1886944). I honestly can't remember where I got it from (and I can't find it here), but I've made a few changes to it myself and found it to be quiet useful.

After coming back from a brief vacation, I found that the builds have moved to Jenkins (yay!) but that the script no longer worked (boo!).

So I fixed it, and decided to share it with other folks who are of the Linux persuasion (although it should be fine under Cygwin or Mac OS, too, if you've got the necessary tools installed). And because it works on the new build system, I felt that a new thread was in order.

You'll need curl and to have java in your PATH.

Have fun!

Code: 
#!/bin/bash

# Originally written by Zombie Feynman (#1886944), a Curious Character.
# Tweaked and updated for Jenkins build system by NeppyMan (#1232476).

# Download the latest build ...
LATEST=$(curl ci.kolmafia.us/job/Kolmafia/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/ | grep -o 'KoLmafia-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].jar' | head -1)

# Check whether the current build is already present. If it is, don't bother downloading it again.
# The filename for KoLmafia is 18 characters long, and that seems unlikely to change in the near future.
# This is a bit of a hacky solution, though ...

if [ -f ${LATEST:(-18)} ]
then
    echo "Latest KoLmafia build already present." 
else
    echo "Fetching latest KoLmafia build."
    curl -O http://ci.kolmafia.us/job/Kolmafia/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/$LATEST

    # Dump all but the most recent (to avoid filling up the directory) ...
    ls -tr *jar | head -n -1 | xargs rm
fi

# Launch the newest build on-hand ...
LAUNCH=$(ls *jar | head -1)
java -jar $LAUNCH &>/dev/null &disown

exit 0
 
Might I suggest only removing mafia jars? Some of us like to keep ALV or alternate downloaders that are also in the jar format, and the blanket removal approach here might surprise people who run code without understanding it. :)
 
I did modify this script a bit, but again, I don't really have any need for automatic updaters, since I build from source.

Code: 
#!/bin/bash

# Tweaked and updated for Jenkins build system by NeppyMan (#1232476).

# Download the latest build ...
LATEST=$(curl ci.kolmafia.us/job/Kolmafia/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/ | grep -Eo 'KoLmafia-[0-9]+.jar' | head -1)

# Check whether the current build is already present. If it is, don't bother downloading it again.

if [ -f $LATEST ]
then
    echo "Latest KoLmafia build already present." 
else
    echo "Fetching latest KoLmafia build."
    curl -O http://ci.kolmafia.us/job/Kolmafia/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/$LATEST

    # Dump all but the most recent (to avoid filling up the directory) ...
    ls -tr KoLmafia-*.jar | head -n -1 | xargs rm -f
fi

# Launch the newest build on-hand ...
java -jar $LATEST &>/dev/null &disown

Ooh, yeah, good point on that - and thanks to heeheehee for already taking care of it (and fixing the regex). :D
 
It's interesting, I actually just recently wrote another script to do exactly this. https://github.com/Elronnd/mafia-auto-updater. It's a lot more user friendly than this one in that it: produces pretty and colourful messages that tell the user what it's doing, tells the user the commit message and number of their build, is mostly POSIX-compliant (aside from needing java and curl) so it can be run on any shell, and most importantly, will detect if the previous download was interrupted, thus creating a partial and unrunnalbe jarfile
