Using a Local Fable Compiler

It is relatively easy to set up a local Fable compiler for troubleshooting the plugin.

Checkout the Fable Repository

Clone the Fable repository as a sibling to this repository.

Using Local Fable Binaries

Set <UseLocalFableCompiler>true</UseLocalFableCompiler> in Directory.Build.props. After running bun install, the daemon will be built using the local binary.

Use Local fable-library-js

Sometimes, there could be changes in @fable-org/fable-library-js that you need to reflect in the daemon's output.

Build the fable-library using ./build.sh fable-library --javascript (from the Fable repository root).

Update the package.json (in the root) to:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@fable-org/fable-library-js": "../Fable/temp/fable-library-js"
  }
}

Install again using bun install.
