What's the best way to install and manage Java on Ubuntu for someone hopping into the ecosystem purely for Clojure / Clojurescript?

@slack1899 On macOS, homebrew is nice

Ah sorry, I should've mentioned Ubuntu

@slack1899 I’ve always done what’s described here: https://medium.com/coderscorner/installing-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-16-10-845507b13343

I see, so I need merely manage a path variable

I asked because other communities sometimes have a language runtime manager

hmmm Mithril is interesting https://mithril.js.org/

very very minimal

nice

does anyone have a favorite resource for going from 0 to SPA w/ cljs?

Hi, guys! Is there a proper way to run tests in docker? My dockerfile uses clojure:lein-2.8.1 as base image. I tried to install slimer.js + firefox (firefox-esr) but it doesnt wanna work with it because firefox is v52. I guess I could try to download firefox binary and keep it in git but I wonder if there's some prettier approach

btw i couldnt use phantom.js because there're some issues with Map. Googling advised me to use slimer

@risinglight the https://rigsomelight.com/figwheel-main-template/ works alright

would I be shooting myself in the foot by not picking up the new CLI tools and sticking with lein?

@risinglight no lein is totally fine and you can do everything that you'd do with the CLI tools via lein run -m. clj -m cljs.main ... is identical to lein run -m cljs.main ...

just the alias/profile handling is different but you can call the code the same

I have just discovered the -A alias to the shadow-cljs CLI, well done!

thanks, I think I have a working figwheel project now and repl!

so much to figure out 🙂

@risinglight fantastic

there is a good tutorial here: https://figwheel.org/tutorial

@bhauman It was a bit of a pain [for me] to get setup, but this is amazingly cool now that it’s working!

is it possible to get the figwheel repl running in Cursive such that expressions can be sent from the IDE to the repl like w/ normal Clojure code?

@risinglight the answer is yes, its easier if you are using lein we should take this convo to #figwheel-main
