Hey guys, can someone help me please. I can't figure out how to get boot-figwheel to work. It seems to be working, but compiled file doesn't get served. I've created small example project here: https://github.com/agzam/boot-figwheel-example I would be enormously grateful.

ag02:08:08

You may ask, why figwheel, what's wrong with cljs-repl and boot-cljs. The problem is - it's extremely slow on incremental builds. Takes 8 to 12 seconds. It seems to be known - there's a reported issue about it. I'm trying to see if boot-figwheel fixes the problem for me

ag02:08:30

Here's the discussion: https://github.com/boot-clj/boot-cljs/issues/93

ag02:08:16

I don't know what exactly is happening, I've tried :recompile-dependents false, :parallel-build true, other stuff - still unable to fix it. boot-figwheel is the last resort - if that doesn't work, my teammates are talking about switching back to lein

juhoteperi07:08:19

@ag First compile 5 seconds for me and incremental compiles 0.5-1sec

juhoteperi07:08:31

Boot-figwheel completely ignores Boot filesets, pods etc. so if it is slow, the problem is different than in Boot-cljs and probably not related to Boot

ag15:08:53

Have you checked the issue I posted? it seems I'm not the only one having to deal with this

juhoteperi15:08:48

https://github.com/boot-clj/boot-cljs/issues/93 is just general issue about the small Boot overhead (+10% vs Lein)

juhoteperi15:08:53

Could be closed

juhoteperi15:08:54

There really isn't much Boot-cljs can do to improve that

juhoteperi15:08:24

I have never been able to reproduce reports about recompilation taking considerable more time thant with Lein

ag15:08:49

Yeah I don't know why it's happening in our project. Maybe because we have many .cljc files, maybe for other reasons, but it's really annoying.

ag16:08:47

Too bad it's a closed source project, replicating that in a separate open-source project would take considerable effort

juhoteperi16:08:54

Are you running OS X or Linux? (Or even windows)

ag17:08:12

OS X

ag23:08:12

also it seems for some reason it takes longer to load compiled (non-optimized) javascript. when using boot-cljs

@flyboarder question, have you ever tried to launch a node Repl using boot? Seems like it is failing here and maybe I am missing something.

lwhorton16:08:47

hey @flyboarder i took a look at your boot-npm and boot-exec. i’m curious - are you able to get any npm task to actually run after it’s been installed? I feel like i’m running uphill against boot when trying to coordinate path, relative paths of files to node_modules, and the node_path. If I have a js file for example that I want to run with node my-file.js, I can never seem to align things properly so that any require('some-lib') doesnt throw with “cannot find module some-lib in node_modules”

flyboarder17:08:34

@richiardiandrea I haven't gotten a node repl to work :(

richiardiandrea17:08:37

so do you use any reload task for that?

flyboarder18:08:43

Nope, no reload here, I restart boot

richiardiandrea18:08:01

so no repl and no boot-reload?

flyboarder18:08:19

correct, it’s slow when I need to restart boot, and I lose the live-reload awesomeness, but I havnt worked it into my workflow yet

flyboarder17:08:27

@lwhorton I use them all the time ;)

flyboarder17:08:45

@lwhorton basically you don't manage the node modules folder yourself, the boot-npm task does that for you, then boot-nodejs for actually running the server

flyboarder18:08:17

@lwhorton if you need more help I'm available today, I'd also like to k ow how you are using it since it seems to be challenging for people

lwhorton18:08:50

if you are curious here’s how i’m making it work, but i’m pretty sure it’s not boot idiomatic: https://github.com/lwhorton/boot-stylus

flyboarder18:08:34

I get requests all the time for those packages

zilti18:08:17

What is boot using for classpath building? Is there a way I can get that classpath?

zilti18:08:29

Or alternatively the classloader
