Running roc-start just shows help

[favetelinguis]

I just built the latest master on Linux with:
roc build src/main.roc --output roc-start --linker=legacy

Now no matter what option or command I use I just see the help screen overview. Is this a know issue on master or am I doing something wrong?

[imclerran]

Hmm... I haven't built on Linux. I will have to check this out and see if I can reproduce. I don't experience this on MacOS. Are you also on the latest roc nightly?

[imclerran]

Okay, looks like this is related to roc-lang/basic-cli#82. I believe if you use the surgical linker, you shouldn't have any issues.

[favetelinguis]

Yes that looks to be the issue. However I am getting this error when using other linker. Guess I am stuck until the Roc issue is fixed.

The surgical linker currently has issue #3609 and would fail linking your app.
Please use `--linker=legacy` to avoid the issue for now.

Sorry to hear we're at a dead end here. Hopefully purity inference fixes this soon... 🤞

This is fixed with basic-cli v0.18.0 - however, the API is in flux, with planned changes for Http request already merged. Additionally, roc-ansi, roc-json, and rvn have not yet been fully upgraded to S_C / PI / PNC. Once the dependencies have upgraded/stabilized, can begin work on upgrading roc-start to basic-cli >= v0.18.0, and this issue should be resolved.
