@micha: passing anonymous functions into pods would also be nice. Have some api that takes report functions which can then print stuff or similar. now I can’t pass partials down there that carry args like verbose:

(pod/with-call-in cpod
  (confetti.report/report-stack-events
    {:stack-id (:stack-id ran)
     :report-cb #(confetti.util/print-ev % ~verbose)}))

Hmm, I wanted to try out 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT and it seems to complain if the first option in a task doesn't have an OPTARG. Is this something that changed?

@martinklepsch: do you think that's possible? you are passing code to the macro which is only evaled "on the other side" where verbose isn't defined

By "it seems" I meant that it errors out with malformed cli option: guide for boot-immutant where first option looks like _ guide bool or for boot notifier for option n notifier sym. I didn't yet investigate further why that happens, because I just can comment those tasks out for now, but it didn't happen with 2.4.2

the notifier thing needs an OPTARG

that’s an improvement in error handling, see https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/issues/285

the guide one should be fine I think — maybe theres another option missing an optarg?

Ok, so more strict option validation. Adding optargs for notify task helped with it, let's see about boot-immutant then.

if you get it working and it was not related to the guide option please file an issue that the exceptions can be misleading

@dm3: possible to get working? not sure I understand the question

I meant anonymous fns in pods

Here are boot tasks if anything, they look good to me as I understand the DSL - https://github.com/immutant/boot-immutant/blob/master/src/boot/immutant.clj#L71-L138

@martinklepsch: it seems it doesn't like wildcards

When I changed _ to a letter

It stops complaining

when you change the _ for guide does it complain about nrepl-start?

Yes

here we go: https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/commit/a4db0ed9c88acae25e7995da420f46dbec78864d#diff-d0b4da22b2b13c478608b3b47f39b042R187

When I give letters to all it starts working.

solglas.repl=> (def _ :x)
#'solglas.repl/_
solglas.repl=> (symbol? _)
false

huh, _ is not a symbol

TIL

err, ignore that

should have been (symbol? ‘_) which correctly returns true

Right, just checked that

@jaen: can you file an issue?

@martinklepsch: sure, no problem

Is this clear enough?

@jaen: perfect 👍

Oh, I see you can't use a function as boot task argument, is that right?

@jaen: you can. see perun on github. it’s trickier to pass from CLI though, haven’t really tested what works and what doesn’t there

https://github.com/hashobject/perun

But that's as a string, right?

I can't do (taks :fn-arg (fn [] ...)) or do I misunderstand the description in the DSL?

I kind of missed it when looking at it, because I was expecting something liek fn '

https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/Task-Options-DSL#types

Yes, but code (comp eval read-string) suggest I can't pass in a form, but a string. Or maybe I'm reading this wrong?
