pod-babashka-go-sqlite3 0.1.0 is out: https://github.com/babashka/pod-babashka-go-sqlite3 it's been a year since the previous release. use sqlite3 directly from babashka without installing sqlite, the pod is self-contained and written in ... golang!

A PR to make cli-matic compatible with babashka: https://github.com/l3nz/cli-matic/pull/145

Was hacking on building an immutable journal with some automation against the Notion API. The last part I needed was the ability to have an embeddable button trigger a GitHub action. I was hoping a vanilla HTML form would be enough but after testing it clearly needed the auth token and json data. That's when babashka running as a cgi script was a really good fit! Just had to create a single clj script file to process the post data and used the curl wrapper to use the proper API and it worked!

That's awesome!

I've also explored an alternative CGI thing with bb recently, but then leveraging PHP which already ran on my VPS: https://blog.michielborkent.nl/using-babashka-with-php.html

borkdude15:02:30

Also I think such a thing could run on AWS Lambda or Google Cloud very well now too, maybe even more so with #nbb

eccentric J15:02:08

Ooh very nice! This might be even better given that it's easier to find php hosts than ones that let you change cgi handlers, I bet the debugging story is a bit better too. What does your passthru function look like? Lambda or Google cloud would work but I suspect would have a bit more upfront setup. In the cgi or php path we already had a suitable web server so the path of least resistance was to upload our scripts and we were good to go

borkdude15:02:00

Here's a reaction from someone who actually started rewriting his PHP website to Clojure with babashka as an in-between step. https://github.com/borkdude/blog/discussions/21

borkdude15:02:18

I'm by no means a PHP expert, quite the opposite, so I just hacked together until this worked. There might be better ways

borkdude15:02:17

Writing an nbb lambda is actually very little code. https://blog.michielborkent.nl/aws-lambda-nbb.html

eccentric J15:02:22

Ahhh I see! I just had to scroll to the right more to see the env vars passed to the bb script. At one point PHP was my go to but that was over a decade ago now that I think about it.

eccentric J15:02:03

I figured it's not much code but I meant the aws console account setup, payment info and the steps to get to that point

eccentric J15:02:03

Oh damn nbb might be the perfect solution for a project I had in mind. Keep trying to fix lumo’s build system to get that updated but this might be a lot better too

borkdude15:02:48

Welcome to join #nbb and ask anything ;)

Is sci accessible from bb? I’m writing a test util with clojure.test to conditionally print stdout on fail and I’ve been able to save the printlns running in the different deftests to a string writer but I noticed that the way the report works differently, it’s writing to sci/out https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/e64db1028cfcbdfccbda572444e942f2a77b2dd7/src/babashka/impl/clojure/test.clj#L278-L283 is there any way to get to this internal sci/out? 

$ bb
Babashka v0.7.3 REPL.
...
=> (require '[sci.core :as sci])
java.lang.Exception: Could not find namespace: sci.core.
=> (require '[babashka.impl.clojure.test])
java.lang.Exception: Could not find namespace: babashka.impl.clojure.test.

borkdude19:02:07

sci/out is the same as *out* within bb, similar to JVM Clojure.

borkdude20:02:47

Thanks for the report.

borkdude20:02:04

Yeah, I see what the issue is. sci/out here should probably be *out* here: https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/e64db1028cfcbdfccbda572444e942f2a77b2dd7/src/babashka/impl/clojure/test.clj#L282 since in this macro body we are using normal clojure prn etc, which print to *out* .

borkdude20:02:51

I'll push a fix to a branch and you can download this version in #babashka-circleci-builds in 10 minutes or so

borkdude20:02:19

Hmm, too soon, it's a bit harder than I thought. I'll report back when this is fixed

borkdude20:02:23

@UBBCH4TSA I pushed to the branch fix-test-out - a new binary should appear within 10 minutes in #babashka-circleci-builds

borkdude20:02:35

I now get the same output with as with JVM Clojure for your test program

borkdude21:02:05

@UBBCH4TSA can you give that a go?

eltonlaw21:02:01

sweet thank you, it works 🙇

borkdude21:02:29

Thanks for you donation!

borkdude21:02:05

Merged to master including a test. When that build finishes you can install it with: 

bash <(curl ) --version 0.7.6-SNAPSHOT --dir .
until the next release.
