Sounds like the lib is not meant to be used as a library, but instead as a standalone process.

This project is exactly what it says what it is: the clj bash script rewritten in Clojure. The bash script invokes a Java process to calculate the classpath. But it also caches the classpath, so the second time it won't.

It's “borkdude” because everything including babashka started under borkdude. Some repos were moved and some weren't.

This project started as a babashka script but later on it turned out to be useful within bb itself

I think you're correct. I only tested this by running the server in bb, which also works but there nrepl/bencode is included

PR welcome

Done 🙂

Just in time for the deref 😄 https://clojure.org/news/2022/07/15/deref#_libraries_and_tools

Nice. Just 2 days ago I borrowed your blog back end to start my own. Much better this way than being on a fork! BTW, I just noticed that in the generated .xml files, you've hard coded your own name as author! 🙂

@U01D37REZHP We should make this configurable. PRs welcome!

@U3X7174KS It's injected here during the function watch

Aaaah, so the HTML template can optionally receive the watch script. Nice, thanks!

yeah

I was kind of curious if there was some kind of --json flag for babashka to use JSON for IO instead of EDN - https://book.babashka.org/#_input_and_output_flags

you could combine jet and bb for this :)

or just write a script and place it on your path

but jet can also execute functions

$ echo '{"args": [1, 2]}' | jet --from json --keywordize --to json -T '(as-> $ (assoc $ :sum (reduce + (:args $))))'
{
  "args" : [ 1, 2 ],
  "sum" : 3
}

ohh, nice. Jet is executing functions with sci, I assume?

A cleaner solution:

$ echo '{"args": [1, 2]}' | jet -i json -o json -k -f '#(assoc % :sum (reduce + (:args %)))'

the symlink is a named file in the unix abstraction, it is weird to me that if the glob name filter matches, that glob wouldn't include the symlink path in its results, and leave the user to decide what to do with the link.

might be a bug, can you file a repro in the fs repo?

I tried using :follow-links true as well, but from inspecting the source and the behavior, that is about following a link to continuing recursing below a linked directory

hmm - i'm not sure how to repro

it's clearly happening in my non-trivial case, but when i try to create a trivial case, it works fine

maybe when the symbolic link links to a dir outside of the dir?

i tried that - that works too

you could try to check out the fs lib locally and add some logging to it, etc

it's a deeper tree, but that's the only difference

(that i can see)

ls shows the file with the same pattern glob does - it isn't even a recursive pattern, it looks like this:

ls */foo/bar/baz*.clj

(linking config files instead of having them in situ, and the glob pattern isn't finding the ones that are linked. it's baffling given that the repro is working fine)

well, instrumenting the fs library helped, thanks for the suggestion. it was actually one layer up, the conversion from a unixpath result to a http://clojure.java.io/file (through an extra call to .getCanonicalPath, natch) was replacing the path with the symlink target path. unexpected, but not babashka.fs's fault 😆 this is why you always ask for a repro ✅

so, all good?

yeah, pebkac

thanks for the suggestions on debugging

Cool stuff :) Also post to #news-and-articles? I think we should also revive: https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/master/doc/news.md But surely you can already add it here too: https://github.com/babashka/babashka#articles-podcasts-and-videos

You could simplify the bash wrapper by doing the JSON reading in bb itself, using cheshire

Added the links to those pages now

Thanks!
