Anyone here using krell? I bumped into this issue https://github.com/vouch-opensource/krell/issues/121 then tried to downgrade npm etc, but that unleashes a whole bunch of other problems Am I better off with another way of working with react-native..?

I’m using krell but have not tried to upgraded to RN 17 yet. If you’re having trouble with it, you could give shadow-cljs a shot, I think a number of people here are on that and having good success.

@hkjels The --install-deps step doesn’t do anything apart from adding these :npm-deps to your package and installing: https://github.com/vouch-opensource/krell/blob/35786a94f4dd4bce4cf80542501e4d105184452a/src/deps.cljs

AFAIK you can just put those in package.json, npm install, and you’re fine. I would guess if there’s an issue with npm 7+ it’s because they broke how their options work or something.

Doing that gets me exactly as far as if I downgrade npm. I get a bunch of errors about functions not being exported from various files

Ex: Attempted import error: 'evaluate' is not exported from './krell_repl.js'.

Although, it looks like it should be:

module.exports = {
    evaluate: evaluate,
    onKrellReload: onKrellReload,
    onKrellCacheInvalidate: onKrellCacheInvalidate,
    onSourceLoad: onSourceLoad,
    getSocket: getSocket
};

OK.. I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong. The babel configuration doesn’t support the type of exports that’s used in Krell Adding the correct babel plugin should do the trick

Just need to figure out what that is
