README and Notes for Parsley Rust

Build Status

Requirements

Rust compiler 1.55.0-nightly or higher Cargo package manager (included with Rust)

Install on Mac OS X with homebrew:

$ brew uninstall rust  # if you used `brew install rust` before
$ brew install rustup
$ rustup-init
[... use default configuration... ]
$ source $HOME/.cargo/env
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.38.0 (625451e37 2019-09-23)
$ cargo --version
cargo 1.38.0 (23ef9a4ef 2019-08-20)

Frequently, we need updated Rust tool chains, so:

$ rustup update

To switch to the nightly toolchain:

$ rustup default nightly

Building with Cargo

$ make  # -> actually calls:

or

$ cargo build
   Compiling parsley-rust v0.1.0 (/Users/linda/git/GitHub/Parsley_repos/parsley-rust)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 1.92s

To create a stand-alone binary:

$ cargo build --release
$ ls -la target/release/pdf_printer
-rwxr-xr-x  2 linda  staff  690124 Nov 12 16:13 target/release/pdf_printer

or use:

$ make release

Running the PDF Parser

With cargo:

$ cargo run <PDF_file>

for example:

$ cargo run tests/test_files/minimal_leading_garbage.pdf
   Compiling parsley-rust v0.1.0 (/Users/linda/git/GitHub/Parsley_repos/parsley-rust)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 2.71s
     Running `target/debug/pdf_printer tests/test_files/minimal_leading_garbage.pdf`

Or the stand-alone binary:

$ target/release/pdf_printer
error: The following required arguments were not provided:
    <PDF_FILE>

USAGE:
    pdf_printer [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <PDF_FILE>

For more information try --help

and:

$ target/release/pdf_printer --help
Parsley PDF Parser
=> parses given PDF file

USAGE:
    pdf_printer [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <PDF_FILE>

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information
    -v               verbosity that increases logging level (default: INFO)

OPTIONS:
    -i, --input <JSON_FILE>     input file with TA1 JSON content to guide the parsing
    -o, --output <JSON_FILE>    output file where to write JSON for TA1 to

ARGS:
    <PDF_FILE>    the PDF file to parse

An example of using the new input argument:

$ target/release/pdf_printer -v tests/test_files/minimal.pdf -i tests/test_files/input.json
DEBUG    - minimal.pdf parsed input JSON: {"COMMENT":"Testing capability of PDF parser to consume an input JSON file","value":42}

$ make test  # -> actually calls:

or

$ cargo test

Dockerizing Rust binary

$ make docker

See etc/docker/README.md for more details.

Development workflow

To ensure code is properly formatted before committing, do

$ git config core.hooksPath .githooks

otherwise pull-requests may be hard to review.
