yes, I think it's a JVM limitation. Why don't you use babashka.http-client which uses java.net.http which is more modern?

Partly because of handling :insecure. I don't see any examples in the docs and when I look in the api I find it difficult to understand what I am supposed to do with the API calls, where the lite client is obvious.

I think I am correct that I need to create a client first and then make the call, but I don't see this in the docs.

I thought the call below would give me the insecure call but it does not:

(ns example.core
  (:require [babashka.http-client :as httpc]))

(httpc/request 
               {:uri url
                :method :patch
                :ssl-context (httpc/->SSLContext :insecure)
                :body content
                :accept :json
                :headers {"Version" version}
                :content-type :json
                :oauth-token token
                :throw-entire-message? true}

@U4C3ZU6KX Why didn't you just ask? I updated the docs to make that part clearer: https://github.com/babashka/http-client#custom-client

This isn't correct:

(httpc/->SSLContext :insecure)

(httpc/->SSLContext {:insecure true})

and also this isn't a request option, but a client option

Ok sorry for misunderstanding.

Thanks for pointing me to the docs.

If anything is still unclear, let me know

:accept :json also isn't an option in babashka.http-client, you need to write {:headers {:accept "application/json"}}

just read the docs and don't use anything by just guessing

Agreed, was so used to using clj-http from other projects prior to moving to bb.

it could be that the docs are lacking though

Sorry to keep asking - how does oauth 2 work with the http-client. I can only see basic auth in the docs, unless I am missing something

http request are basically nothing but sending data like a body and headers. oauth2 is not something that happens on the level of http requests, but rather, is built on top of that

So are you saying you just have to write the correct data into the headers?

yes

were you using this with clj-http-lite? https://github.com/clj-commons/clj-http-lite/blob/70c34e4f8d5abb5f68e3e94441f2dadd819c4f11/src/clj_http/lite/client.clj#L252

Yes so just had a {:oauth token}

Just send this header:

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Thanks, Sometimes the libraries look after you to the point that you don't have to think about the underlying functionality. Now I understand that the babashka.http is not that way I am happy.

Can you please limit the output of your message to a gist or so to not flood this channel?

After that I'll start answering your questions

Better?

Thank you!

Yes, graalvm binaries rely on the c++ redistributable. This is very common for Windows programs

Babashka uses Java for fetching dependencies. If you have any dependencies in bb.edn then it will invoke https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj (which uses #tools-deps) to fetch them

Ah ok, so if I have the dependencies available locally it should not need Java? I’m trying to create a project with a few CLI commands + configuration and I want it to be as easy to use as possible. Target audience is technically minded people / developers who don’t necessarily have or want any Java or Clojure experience. Maybe I should look into https://github.com/babashka/babashka/wiki/Self-contained-executable

You can produce an uberjar from your CLI and then install it via #C0400TZENE7. This should not require a JVM

bb uberjar foo.jar -m foo.bar/-main

then upload your uberjar to github releases and just point bbin to it

e.g.:

bbin install 

Oh that’s pretty nice. Does bbin require babashka or is that included in the installation?

yes, bbin requires babashka

good to know tb

thanks!

I'd recommend Windows users to use scoop.

scoop bucket add scoop-clojure 
scoop install bbin

this is similar to brew

Do you have an extra pair of parentheses around that maybe?

$ bb -e '(count "a b c")'
5

I have (count "abc") in a try statement just to test out and it doesn,t work. There's no extra ()

can you provide the actual code (or a minimal repro)?

(try
                      (let [
                            s "maximum printing width for this tape is "
                            ]
                        (count "a b r")
                        )
                      (catch Exception e (println (str (.getMessage e) "..")))

might be missing a closing paren

(try
  (let [s "maximum printing width for this tape is "]
    (count "a b r"))
  (catch Exception e (println (str (.getMessage e) ".."))))
=> 5

I think I found. Seems like using clojure.core/count works for some reason

do you redefine count somewhere prior to this code?

might want to eval count in the REPL and see what comes back

Yes this was it! I named a variable count... that was a bad idea

Thanks a lot
