Compiling thrift files with FBThrift

[va...@pinterest.com]

Hi Folks,

This is an FBThrift question - however, I could not find a google group for the same - so posting it here. I compiled and installed Facebook folly and then compiled the thrift compiler in fbthrift. This created binary file named "bin/thrift1" which I assume to be the fbthrift compiler. I then compiled a thrift file using the following command:

bin/thrift1 --gen cpp -o <Dir> Ping.thrift

However, when I look at the generated files, I did not get any generated files using folly's IO buf or folly's wangle. This is unlike whats mentioned in the is CPP server link:

https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift/blob/master/thrift/doc/Cpp2.md

Can someone help with how to create a thrift server with all the goodness of IOBuf/wangle etc. ? It seems I have everything compiled but am missing some option to get the right set of generated thrift interfaces.

Thanks

Varun

If you go into 

``` 

fbthrift-0.22.0/thrift/compiler/py

```

# as root

python setup.py install 

you'll get something inside /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/....thrift_compiler...

Basically you can either do that or set your python path see the generated Makefile for that ($PY_LOCAL)

When you get all that working you just do a python -mthrift_compiler cpp2:option1,option2 thing.thrift. 

That's it.

I wish it was that simple: https://github.com/facebook/homebrew-fb/blob/master/fbthrift-compiler.rb

Looks like the pythonic compiler does not work.

Steps given by "agal...@rbonut.com " worked for me. Thanks a lot.  Is there any way to do similar cpp2 generation using thrift1 compiler binary instead of via python package?

As of now, I think you can gen cpp2 with thrift1 compiler, according to this issue:

https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift/issues/303

./build/bin/thrift1 --gen mstch_cpp2 --templates ./thrift/compiler/generate/templates --out /tmp/ ./thrift/example/if/chatroom.thrift
