Hey guys, trying to switch from lein to boot, I need to grab some stuff from npm, thinking about using degree9/boot-npm, the problem is I need to serve that stuff from ./resources/public. There's no way of telling npm to use ./resources/public/.node_modules and I couldn't find a way to serve static resources from outside of public with ring. lein-npm takes :root key and it works - you can tell to use any dir for node_modules root. What would you recommend me doing? I don't want to run npm and copy stuff every time I build things

to clarify, you want to publicly serve your .node_modules directory? the directory with all your node dependencies in it?

the ring resource middleware takes a "root" path

https://ring-clojure.github.io/ring/ring.middleware.resource.html#var-wrap-resource

@mikebelanger Does fireplace support cljs completion now?

@doglooksgood If you have browser repl connection, yes.

sounds great!

does boot-cljs have any conflict with boot-figwheel ?

@lxsameer What do you mean?

@juhoteperi I mean , can i use figwheel when I'm using boot-cljs ?

No

boot-figwheel is separate from boot cljs stack and replaces boot-cljs & co

so instead of boot-cljs i have to use boot-figwheel

right ?

Yes

thanks man

Though I don't see why one would need to use Figwheel instead of Boot-cljs. It has a few more features but Boot-cljs is "idiomatic Boot task" while Boot-figwheel is quite hacky

@juhoteperi boot-cljs is just for compiling to js right ? but figwheel has lots of cool features

@lxsameer Boot-cljs stack is nearly identical to Figwheel, pretty much the only feature it is missing is showing error context on the HUD

And configuration validation

@juhoteperi so how to you check for possible errors

Boot-reload HUD will still display the errors and error location

so what's the difference ?

Boot-reload HUD only shows the line and column numbers, Figwheel shows the source code for offending line (https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/blob/master/CHANGES.md#code-context-in-errors-and-warnings)

@lxsameer example of Figwheel's error msgs

https://twitter.com/bhauman/status/751481048635215872

boot-cljs will only show you the error msg and the line, not all that Elm-y stuff

I'm a figwheel user who wants to migrate to boot

@lxsameer I recommend you try boot-cljs & boot-reload, it will provide similar live reload workflow

cool thanks

You could try some existing example project first, for example https://github.com/Deraen/saapas

sure thanks

what does :scope key do when defining a dependency

They affect e.g. if the dependency is transitive or included in uberjar: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope

Test scope is not included in uberjar and is not a transitive dependency

btw @lxsameer, @richiardiandrea is looking into better integration of figwheel within boot (which does not use the target dir)

@upgradingdave Glad it helped! I just happened to have stumbled on that page the other day, and your problem gave me a deja-vu

@doglooksgood Judging from @juhoteperi's answer, I guess so! I just like Adam Bard's blog because he has lots of clearly-written tutorials. I'm not a vim user.

hey, is there a way to run boot tasks in parallel?

like, garden and cljs for example

@thedavidmeister there's some stuff in boot.parallel that @richiardiandrea has been working on. I think there might also be some docs around it somewhere, not sure where exactly though

great thanks

@thedavidmeister also https://github.com/micha/multi-module-build

@micha ah cool, i think

i mean, the readme is just a title 😛

haha yeah, the build.boot file is what you want to look at

it's very small and minimal

cool, i’ll check it out tomorrow

i’ll ping you if i get confused

wow so many mentions today 😄 About boot-figwheel: I got the fileset part working, I am having a bit of trouble serving the (updated) files at the moment, it is coming along pretty well

I was using boot-http for that, but it looks like the served files are always the ones you start the server with, probably figwheel does some magic for making sure it serves always the new version

the nice thing is that I see the updated files in the boot's tmp folders so that part is working

@richiardiandrea I think the figwheel server attaches the updated CLJS files' MD5 to the filename to guarantee it serves the updated files

https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/blob/master/sidecar/src/figwheel_sidecar/components/figwheel_server.clj#L281

not sure though

@anmonteiro that would explain what I am missing, so one solution can be to use figwheel's own server...I just wanted to overcome the limitation of using resources (for example I have my files in assets)

thanks for the link, I'll inspect that

I am very close to have it working

and the fact that he is using resources maybe is linked exactly to this issue, not sure...`boot` has a nice watch task that could achieve the same thing, I'll need to figure this out

is there a list / collection of available boot templates? i.e. based on boot-new or lein ones that generate boot projects (i.e. like lambone / tenzing)?

@tolitius I haven't seen any

New username \o/

What's this witchcraft?

Hey, I’m starting to create a PR to update pretty to 0.1.30. Is there any magic, or just a matter of copying over sources?

so I was reading that discussion about boot-figwheel vs. cljs-boot/reload etc. I really like figwheel and have enormous respect for @bhauman and although using cljs-boot/serve/watch is pretty straightforward I’d rather keep using figweel. We’re migrating from lein to boot. Would it be wise to keep trying “hacky” way of preserving figwheel or it’s really like “swimming agains the current”?

@ag I am trying to get out of the "hacky" way of doing things, we'll see if it pans out 😄

My build.boot file only creates a project.jar file and never the project-named asset that its supposed to: (task-options! pom {:project 'ff-server :version "1.0.0"} jar {:main 'ff-server.handler} aot {:all true} repl {:init-ns 'ff-server.handler :eval '(set! print-length 20)}) (deftask build [] (comp (build-cljs) (aot) (pom) (uber) (jar)))

I have no idea why.. any thoughts?

@georgek how do you mean project-named asset? also, are you AOT compiling cljs sources?

I mean, in this case, I’m expecting there to be an ff-server.jar file in the target directory and it only ever shows up as project.jar

Um, nooooo on AOT-ing the cljs sources

should I be?

well, no 😄

haha

but I see the task (aot) there ah ah

about the file, you need to append the (target) task

in order to dump to ./target

at the end ?

yep

trying

Nooope

I get this:

Writing pom.xml and pom.properties... Adding uberjar entries... Merge conflict: not adding META-INF/LICENSE Writing project.jar... Writing target dir(s)... Implicit target dir is deprecated, please use the target task instead. Set BOOT_EMIT_TARGET=no to disable implicit target dir.

(it still only writes project.jar)

huh

ah, basically it looks like two or more libs are trying to add META-INF/LICENSE to your artifact...

there should be a way to set a merging strategy somewhere, lemme check

@georgek do you have the requirement to produce a .js file in a jar I suppose?

I mean only the .js file nothing else

oh at this point the cljs stuff is incidental. I’m using nginx-clojure so my deployment strategy is not standard. What I’m trying to do is de-compose what’s now a monolithic project into one main lib and several other projects that pull it in via a local maven repo

So, your suggesting that the LICENSE conflict is preventing the creation of that asset?

because probably something like (sift :include #{#"\.js$"}) would just include the .js file and that's it

after build-cljs

kewl, I’ll check that out

(untested) 😄

I'm trying to learn to use cider to develop an application that uses boot. It appears that if I just open a file in the project and jack in, it does not start the server that I get when I run boot dev from the command line.

Mind you I'm not sure if this is the sensible way to be developing.

@mathpunk cider calls boot using the cider-boot-parameters variable

see here: https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/Cider-REPL#a-better-way

sweet, thank you

er, wait --- that's exactly what I did

lol ok so maybe there something else there

i mean, probably not exactly, since it doesn't work 🙂

step #2 is what I think you should verify

mmm, yes.... now i'm realizing that's not general

i misunderstood the customize-variable step

let me know when it works, I use this wf daily

https://twitter.com/richiardiandrea/status/792126550082674688

do boot tasks compose from the left or the right? that is, when I see something like cider repl -s ...others... wait is repl last or first?

er, I suppose it's, is cider last or first, now that i'm looking at how cider is defined in the "A Better Way"

cider should be first

I've got to learn more about how the runtime works... clojure code often makes sense but "where" it is is confusing as heck

https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/Tasks

in Task Anatomy you can actually understand what is going on better I think

the handlers are called sequentially starting from the first

ah, nice. I thought I was kiiiiinda getting the fileset abstraction but, i think i'm still shaky on it

the exception to the rule is when a task is launched in a future

but that's not for now 😄

status: staring at https://github.com/mathpunk/anansi/blob/master/build.boot which is cloned and modified from tenzing

i'm not sure that all of these tasks made out of tasks actually save comprehension

and i definitely don't know whether watch should happen before or after serve, or doesn't matter. I mean, if they're middleware, many tasks will be commutative right?

or, maybe "dev" does enough that I just use that task in the cider modification

so watch is a middleware, meaning...it returns a handler

a middleware can be commutative or not, but depends on what it is doing I guess

sure

does watch /take/ a handler as well? or is it sorta on the edges of the system

yep, well in case of watch, the its purpose is to call the handler chain on file system changes

so I usually put it in front of everything

and when it triggers, it calls the handlers after it

hooray! I got the correct .dir-local.el on the first try. Thanks!

hey guys… sorry for a noob question: in lein I had (defproject {:profiles {:dev {:env ,,,,}}}). How do I set env values in boot? Trying different things, yet ring handler doesn’t seem to be picking up those.

@ag I personally use https://github.com/adzerk-oss/env for that

very cool way of building docker images
