What is the easiest way to run a library’s tests on cljs? All I want is for CI to check compatibility.

Michael Lewis01:11:47

hi, I’m 100% new to Clojure, thought I’ve done FP for years with variously Scala/Haskell etc. I wanted to learn Clojure, one thing I’m trying to find out - is there a ‘community standard’ equivalent to say Python’s Sphinx (Scala SBT Microsites etc) I’d like to learn by doing a small project and like to have that stuff setup at the start….

Eddie02:11:30

The most common tools that I am aware of are https://github.com/weavejester/codox and https://cljdoc.org/. They both take somewhat different approaches to generating documentation sites.

Michael Lewis09:11:27

@U7XR2PZFW Thanks very much. I’ll take a look.

Hi what is a useful example where spec/conform destructures something

(s/def ::distance (s/cat :amount (s/and number? pos?)
                         :unit #{:meters :miles}))

(s/conform ::distance [3 :meters])
this is already quite sick so I know about sequential ones now. Is there more?

pavlosmelissinos11:11:31

Not exactly destructuring but conforming s/or is quite interesting:

(s/def ::distance (s/cat :amount (s/and number? pos?)
                          :unit   (s/or :predefined #{:meters :miles} :custom string?)))

(s/conform ::distance [3 :meters])
;;=> {:amount 3, :unit [:predefined :meters]}

(s/conform ::distance [3 "league"])
;;=> {:amount 3, :unit [:custom "league"]}

I love the idea of defining a data shape and conforming to it.

Benjamin12:11:23

Is there a way to say "i want an x, but if it's a y, then use fn ... to transform to x". Basically I'm asking for nested comforming. Or a spec that takes the return value of the validation function instead of just checking boolean

pavlosmelissinos13:11:54

spec is not meant to be used for coercion

pavlosmelissinos13:11:35

Just use normal clojure functions before you validate your input with spec. There are third party libraries that do coercion based on spec, e.g. https://github.com/metosin/spec-tools/blob/master/docs/01_coercion.md

Benjamin13:11:38

I also saw a stackoverflow answer quoting Alex Miller to not do it kappa

cdeszaq01:11:17

Alternatively, use Spec to conform the “raw” (uncoerced) data into a known shape, and then coerce it from there into the shape you want. The tighter your bounds, the less complexity your coercion has to deal with.

hey, i’m trying to decode a base64 string representing a png file, but keep getting 0xefbfbd (AKA REPLACEMENT CHARACTER) in the resulting string, making the resulting png file corrupt. i’ve tried using java.util.Base64 like so:

(:import (java.util Base64))
...
(defn decode [attachment]
  (let [decoded (->> attachment :data (.decode (Base64/getDecoder)))]
    (String. decoded "UTF-8")))
tried using org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 like this:
(:import (org.apache.commons.codec.binary Base64))
...
(defn decode [attachment]
  (-> attachment :data Base64/decodeBase64 (String.)))
also tried using byte-streams:
(:require [byte-streams :refer (seq-of bytes=) :as bytes])
...
(:import (org.apache.commons.codec.binary Base64))
...
(defn decode [attachment]
  (bytes/to-string (Base64/decodeBase64 (bytes/to-byte-array (:data attachment)))))
i then spit the result to a file, and it always of size 61k, while the original one was 35k, and it starts with: efbf bd50 4e47 instead of 8950 4e47 what am i doing wrong?

Alex Miller (Clojure team)13:11:35

Spit is for character streams not binary data

Mor Gazith14:11:37

thanks, that worked so it seems that this works for producing a binary decoded object:

(let [contents (-> attachment :data Base64/decodeBase64)]
however when i try to put that as the body of an httpkit/request i get class [B is not understandable when i try to cast it to a string like:
(String. contents) 
the POST body is again corrupt i’m trying to send a POST request with a binary body, any ideas?

Michael W15:11:28

For HTTP you normally set the mime type to "application/octet-stream" and don't transform the binary before posting.

Mor Gazith15:11:54

i’ve tried that, but it didn’t work. just got it working now by wrapping the binary body with a java inputstream via: (.ByteArrayInputStream. contents)

Michael W15:11:09

What HTTP client are you using?

popeye18:11:52

is there any book and learning material to write complete secured real time web application in clojure?

Andy Carlile19:11:41

hello wizards, i just recently finished a https://github.com/jollyblondgiant/cljs-pokedex built from the lein new re-frame <app> template and am attempting to deploy it, either to heroku or to github pages. attempting to deploy to heroku with git push heroku master fails with npm ERR! missing script: start ; deploying to github pages fails because requests to load in my app.js fail with a 404 . I've set up my index.html according to https://clojureverse.org/t/deploying-a-shadow-cljs-project-very-new-to-web-development/5299/2 but while https://jollyblondgiant.github.io/cljs-pokedex/ can find its css, it apparently doesn't find any javascript. what updates do I need to make to enable deployment on heroku? github? thank you so much!

Andy Carlile21:11:00

I've updated my repo with a procfile and project.clj for heroku deployment and my app appears to build, only for this error in my heroku logs --tail : bash: shadow-cljs: command not found

Andy Carlile22:11:51

do I have to jar up my project? I ran npm install && npm run release before committing and git push heroku master . what's a good Procfile for an app made with shadow-cljs?

runswithd6s22:11:24

Try npx shadow-cljs. Unless you install shadow-cljs globally, your path won't see the executable. Using npx will wrapper that in the npm environment appropriately.

runswithd6s22:11:53

Alternative, npm install -g shadow-cljs before your npm install && npm run release. I generally put the npx shadow-cljs COMMAND in the npm script commands.

Andy Carlile22:11:36

where can i set such npm script commands? is that in shadow-cljs.edn or with heroku?

Andy Carlile22:11:10

my errors advanced: now I get to

Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch
Stopping process with SIGKILL
Process exited with status 137
State changed from starting to crashed
but i bound :nrepl {:port process.env.PORT} in my shadow-cljs.edn. is this not where that goes?

Andy Carlile22:11:17

btw your note of using npm install -g shadow-cljs was the ticket to move past bash: shadow-cljs not found error

dpsutton22:11:28

You shouldn't be building clojurescript on Heroku. You should build a jar once you have compiled a production build

Andy Carlile22:11:15

where can I read up on how to do this? I compiled prod with npm run release

dpsutton22:11:13

I don't know of a good guide. It can be tough to find good resources for how to build a jar. There are lots of concepts that can be overwhelming as a beginner. I'm away from my computer so I cannot locate any resources for you right now unfortunately

Andy Carlile22:11:37

I tried:

clj -M -m cljs.main --optimizations advanced -c hello-world.core
but get:
Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at clojure.main/main (main.java:40).
Could not locate cljs/main__init.class, cljs/main.clj or cljs/main.cljc on classpath.
I added a deps.edn : {:deps {org.clojure/clojurescript {:mvn/version "1.10.758"}}} and still get the same error

Andy Carlile22:11:23

alternatively, is it possible to host this on github pages? I can't quite get all my resources, most notably my app.js, to load

Ngoc Khuat23:11:21

I haven’t tried but I think we could. Alternatively you can use https://vercel.com . You just need to tell vercel: • build command : I configured npm run release => shadow-cljs release {APP_NAME} • Path to build output : for my case it’s public/ For reference : this is the repo I deployed to vercel : https://github.com/qnkhuat/rtdraw

Andy Carlile00:11:52

thank you so much! I got deployed here: https://cljs-pokedex.vercel.app/ however, it looks like it's having trouble importing one of my font stylesheets.
