Fix gencode CI failure: replace removed sbt.ScriptMain with Python script#72
Conversation
sbt.ScriptMain was removed in modern sbt versions, causing the gencode make target to fail. Replace scripts/gencode.scala invocation with an equivalent Python 3 script (scripts/gencode.py) that extracts code snippets from Chisel source files using the same logic.

Do not commit generated files to the git.
- Replace scripts/gencode.py (Python) with a native sbt task in build.sbt that implements the same code extraction logic in Scala - Update Makefile gencode target to invoke `sbt gencode` - Remove accidentally committed generated code/ files - Remove scripts/gencode.py - Add .gitignore to exclude code/, target/, test_run_dir/, generated/

Done. Replaced the Python script with a native sbt task defined directly in |
