Over the weekend I made some progress with defprotocol et. al. If you want you can test it using the babashka defprotocol branch or grab a binary from https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/CSDUA8S6B/p1591567157005700. It also includes compatibility with defrecord.

which web-server works with babashka? only this https://github.com/bherrmann7/bb-common/blob/master/wee_httpd.bb ?

@d.ian.b bb doesn't have a built-in webserver, but you can roll your own using that code yes. what's your use case for wanting a webserver in bb?

no worries, It's just for a test

but thanks @borkdude 😃

is anyone using babashka in aws lambda aware of this issue? https://github.com/borkdude/babashka/pull/462

I’m using babashka.curl to post some JSON from a string, something like this {:body "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}" but by the time it hits the server those inner, escaped quotes have been removed, so the server sees {foo: bar} , which of course is invalid. Is there a some way to fix this?

that's pretty weird

you could try some debugging here: https://github.com/borkdude/babashka.curl it runs as a JVM lib as well

I do this often,

(def login-body "{ \"password\": \"shesh\", \"username\": \"bob\"}" )
(def headers {"Content-Type" "application/json"})
(curl/post req-url { :headers headers :body login-body })]

also, you can try (post "foo" {:body ... :debug true}) which will also return the :command which was used to invoke curl

:debug shows the quotes are still escaped on the command-line. Maybe it’s a Windows Powershell thing (I’m normally a Mac guy)

hmm

well, it doesn't go through powershell, but there might be an issue with ProcessBuilder on Windows...

I remember something similar with clj-kondo. let me check

@jkrasnay this line: https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/blob/daf3e794f60b5e8be60f36be6fb7209055096027/test/clj_kondo/test_utils.clj#L110

so for some reason I had to replace escaped quotes with \\\"

Weird!

could you try this with babashka.curl on Windows perhaps?

Doing that now…

there is some info here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8131908#:~:text=Using%20ProcessBuilder%20to%20invoke%20a,%22ab%22%20by%20the%20process.

Yes, that seems to work.

and that links to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/main-function-command-line-args?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=vs-2019

so I think we need to patch babashka.curl for windows to do this for you

(if (and windows? (string? body) ...) (str/replace ...) ...)

That Microsoft doc says “A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash (\“) is interpreted as a literal double quotation mark character (“).“, so I’m not sure I agree with the guy who closed the JDK bug.

I'm also confused by it, but I guess that's the reality

OK, thanks for your quick help!

@jkrasnay the alternative might be to not use quotes around the string in windows, surprisingly: https://blog.krecan.net/2008/02/09/processbuilder-and-quotes/

now I'm even more confused

I think my escapes were just escaping the quotes from the Clojure reader, so I’m not sure how to leave them out.

I'm going to run the tests on Windows CI for babashka.curl

@jkrasnay the current tests all pass on Windows: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/borkdude/babashka-curl/builds/33395135 now add a failing test...

bingo: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/borkdude/babashka-curl/builds/33395395

@jkrasnay this version should now work as expected: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/94oyb3vwo7f00i7u/artifacts/babashka-0.1.1-SNAPSHOT-windows-amd64.zip

I’ll give it a try in a bit
