Overview

lotus-sc is a CLI tool that helps you develop scripts for LOTUS. It takes care of invoking the compiler with the correct toolchain and copying your script into a directory where the LOTUS-Simulator will pick it up. It supports hot-reloading so you do not need to restart the simulator.

Installation

You can download the installer from here.

From there on lotus-sc will automatically update itself, so you don’t need to keep it up-to-date yourself.

Usage

For up-to-date usage information please use lotus-sc --help for a general overview and for specific help you can use lotus-sc <subcommand> --help (replace <subcommand> with the command you want help for).

Script compilation and deployment

lotus-sc deploy
lotus-sc deploy --release

Automatic compilation and deployment when source files change

lotus-sc watch

Please note: for file watching to be useful you need to be in a git repository and have a .gitignore setup. lotus-sc will use this information to only trigger recompiles if actually needed.
