Babashka 0.7.5 with significant performance improvements. More of those to come in 2022! https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#075-2022-02-16

I’m getting an error No dispatch macro for: " when trying to use the following in a task:

(string/replace s #"xx" "'xxx'")

@martinklepsch tasks are defined in an .edn file and regex literals aren't supported in EDN. you have the following options: 1. Add :paths and :requires and move the code to a file on the classpath (in one of the :paths). 2. Use (re-pattern ...)

Ahhh, ofc! Thank you

So easy to forget when your task is growing beyond a line or two

yeah I think we should encourage people to put most of their code in a file, which makes it also more REPL-friendly

@martinklepsch Thanks for your Github star :)

Gentle reminder that I'm still running the Babashka 2022 Q1 Survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQ13ZKsXzN594uvzxOTV8juaoETIHDk-T1XBizwe-fVh8Gyw/viewform Results will be published in an article at the end of the quarter.

is there a way either immediately finish a task or wait for another task to finish? Use case is having task a) depend on some data and the data can come either from user input or by querying stuff say task b). I always want to run task b) immediately sometimes a) needs to wait for it and sometimes it doesn't. I have an idea where I define some global promise of task b) output. Then a) can decide to deref that

@benjamin.schwerdtner That sounds like something you might want to do in user space, using promises or core.async

E.g.:

(def result (promise))
(future (Thread/sleep 10000) (deliver result :from-future))
(future (Thread/sleep 1000) (deliver result :from-input))
@result ;;=> :from-input

do you have an idea for a date picker "ui" using bb? I'm about to make in args or "args file" but maybe there is some shlick way

Is there a way to run a bb task from the bb.edn in another folder?

@dennisa absolutely. bb --config the-other.bb.edn <task>
