heh, just discovered that clj does not work if your path has an emoji in it. such a show-stopper bug!!

Hi all. Clojure beginner and first-timer here šŸ™‚ First time using Slack as well šŸ˜„ ... I have some paranormal activity when trying some core.async stuff and I am going insane...is here a good place to ask for a second pair of eyes & brains to try to find out what is going on?

phronmophobic17:08:31

both #beginners and #code-reviews are good channels for that

dpsutton17:08:49

#core-async as well

General question about clojure.spec.alpha/fdef and testing that with clojure.spec.test.alpha/instrument - are there conditions under which the instrumentation gets bypassed? I am able to trip the spec validation from the REPL, but when the fn is called in the context of a unit test (rather deep in the call stack, mind you) I can not get the validation to fail

Raymond Ko20:08:43

I have run into this problem before. If you have a function that is fdef, and then in the same namespace lower, you have a map of say {:keyword fn}to serve as a dispatch, then the reader captures the uninstrumented function. By the time it get instrumented, it is too late.

cpmcdaniel19:08:59

even if I put the instrument call in the unit test itself

ghadi20:08:54

@cpmcdaniel vars are boxes, and spec's instrument replaces the content of that box. If something has grabbed the value inside the box before instrumentation replaces it, you could observe the (non) effect that you're (not) seeing

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:08:21

the other reason why you may not see it is when using AOT-compiled direct linking, but I doubt that's the case here

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:08:46

direct linking calls directly and thus does not go through the var and does not see instrumentation

I'm once again feeling stupid (not enough sleep) what's the best/simplest way to sort vector of nested maps, e.g:

[{:foo [{:bar [{:zap 4}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 3}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 2}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 5}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 1}]}]}]
want them sorted by :zap, but it has to work for maps with arbitrary level of nesting

seancorfield21:08:52

"arbitrary" level? So you really don't know what shape the data is, but it will always have a single :zap key in there somewhere @ag?

ag21:08:52

I think I need a fn of this signature (sort-by-nested coll & ks) where I would call it for example like this: (sort-by-nested my-list :foo :bar :zap)

ag21:08:59

can't wrap my head around it

Joe Lane21:08:33

So, you know the path ahead of time @ag?

Joe Lane21:08:47

And, for a given set of maps, it's the same path?

ag21:08:42

yeah, I know the path

seancorfield21:08:12

(sort-by #(get-in % [:foo :bar :zap]) ...)

Joe Lane21:08:30

But the vals are not maps, their vectors, right?

seancorfield21:08:33

(although your example above has vectors too)

seancorfield21:08:15

But whatever the path to :zap is, that's what you need in your sort-by accessor function.

ag21:08:00

ah, @seancorfield I think you're on the right path, I'm gonna play with it. Thank you

ag21:08:13

ended up doing something like this:

(defn get-in*
  [m ks]
  (reduce (fn [acc k]
            (cond
              (map? acc)  (get acc k)
              (coll? acc) (->> acc
                               (keep #(get-in* % [k]))
                               flatten
                               seq)
              :else       (reduced acc)))
          m
          ks))

(sort-by
 (fn[x]
   (first (get-in* x [:foo :bar :zap])))
 [{:foo [{:bar [{:zap 4}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 3}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 2}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 5}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 1}]}]}]
 )

phronmophobic21:08:48

vectors are associative, so you can use indices as keys. for eg:

(sort-by
 #(get-in % [:foo 0 :bar 0 :zap])
 [{:foo [{:bar [{:zap 4}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 3}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 2}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 5}]}]}
  {:foo [{:bar [{:zap 1}]}]}])

ag21:08:47

Yup, that's right, but in my case values can be either maps or vectors

I have a config.edn file (env variables) in the root of my project (the root is not on the classpath because itā€™s not specified). As a result, the following wonā€™t work:

(io/resource "config.edn") ; => nil
But this would work
(io/as-url (File. "config.edn")) ;=> #object[java.net.URL 0x6e4e60f5...]
If one wanted to continue using resource over the File. solution, I would have to add the root "." to the classpath. Is there a downside to adding the root to the classpath? or would the preference be to opt for io/resource and just move config.edn to the resources dir?

phronmophobic23:08:27

it depends. typically, config belongs outside of the program/jar so that it can be specified at runtime. what kind of config is this?

athomasoriginal23:08:31

My config.edn would be configuring all aspects of the app itself e.g. secret keys, ports, database URI etc. The secrets themselves would live outside the config.edn and the config.edn pulls them in. (iā€™m using Aero)

phronmophobic23:08:53

i'm not sure familiar with Aero, but if config.edn is just a template for loading config values (ie. it will be the same for everyone), then putting it on the resource path seems fine. otherwise, I would load it at runtime based on some user provided path

deactivateduser23:08:04

@tkjone I too use aero, and what Iā€™ve tended to do is have a ā€œdefaultā€ config.edn in a resources sub-folder (which is part of the classpath), but then allow an alternative config.edn file to be specified on the command line. The default is only used if nothing is provided on the command line, and generally contains aero instructions to just read from environment variables.

deactivateduser23:08:59

Hereā€™s an example: ā€¢ Default config.edn, showing delegation to env vars: https://github.com/pmonks/futbot/blob/main/resources/config.edn ā€¢ config.edn for my production environment: https://github.com/pmonks/futbot/blob/main/heroku-config.edn (note mix of env vars and ā€œhardcodedā€ values) ā€¢ Code that reads command line and determines which config.edn to read: https://github.com/pmonks/futbot/blob/main/src/futbot/main.clj and https://github.com/pmonks/futbot/blob/main/src/futbot/config.clj#L50-L53 (note that I also use mount for state management, so itā€™s where the config.edn gets managed at runtime).

deactivateduser23:08:02

Not saying itā€™s the ā€œbestā€ or even the ā€œrightā€ way to do this mind you, but itā€™s worked well enough for me in a variety of apps over the last 5 years or so.
