@leif you need to change the deps.edn in tools.reader. it doesn't include the src/main/cljs path https://github.com/clojure/tools.reader/blob/master/deps.edn#L2

so the sources won't be on the classpath

Hi There, Is there anyways we can read the content of html in ClojureScript ? For Example: I have example.html file. I want to create a function in clojurescript that would take the file as an argument.

@singhamritpal49 Are you in the browser or in Node.js?

In the browser you can do an HTTP request to your server to fetch the HTML

Browser

Or you can inline the HTML at build time using a macro (this is probably not what you want with HTML but there may be a use case for it)

File is locally stored

@thheller Thanks. So then if it wasn't in the classpath in the first place, why does it normally work with clojurescript?

when you use the tools.reader release normally the bundled jar contains all the required cljs files. deps.edn isn't used to create that, don't know why its missing there

AH, okay

That makes sense.

its included here https://github.com/clojure/tools.reader/blob/master/pom.xml#L14-L17

Okay, I'll give it a shot, thanks. 🙂

(I also don't really understand what pom.xml is for. It almost looks like its used for maven, but ya.)

Or rather, why tools.reader uses it instead of just deps.edn.

tools.reader uses maven to create and publish the jar files

tools.reader is much older than deps.edn so nobody switched deployment over yet I guess. no need to change a working solution too 😛

Makes sense. 🙂

Hmm...so, by adding src/main/cljs to the tools.reader classpath it does build, but still seems to be using the old tools.reader library.

(Here is the tools.reader deps.edn file btw:

{:deps {org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.10.3"}}
 :paths ["src/main/clojure" "src/main/cljs"]}

there is no clojurescript dependency? are you using the clojure variant but made changes to the cljs variant?

ah nvm. what clojurescript version do you have in your project?

Its..err...a custom version, here:

if you use the standard clojurescript jar that'll contain a AOT compiled variant of the clojure parts

https://github.com/LeifAndersen/clojurescript/tree/tweaks

Its basically the latest version of clojurescript but with a few extra hooks added that makes sandboxing in self-hosted cljs.js possible.

so in your project you are using that as a git dep or local/root?

git dep

Here is the project's deps.edn file

https://github.com/LeifAndersen/interactive-syntax-clojure/blob/main/deps.edn

(Well, except for the line that replaces tools.reader on my local machine

)

should be fine

@thheller I should ask, does closurescript use the pom file, the deps.edn file, or the project.clj file for deps management?

(It almost looks like its deps.edn and the other two are around for legacy purposes, but I'm not 100% sure.)

ClojureScript itself builds with script/build, which then primarily uses maven to build from the pom.xml

I'm not sure what you're actually trying to do but using ClojureScript as a git dep is unlikely to work very well

@alexmiller Oh interesting. I've..err..actually been doing it for the past 6 months or so without any problems I've noticed. I wonder if there's problems that I haven't noticed yet.

Well, maybe I’m out of the loop on it

(For reference, what I want is mostly to be able to dynamically set the core, so I can use that to have the eval-fn run in a sandbox.

)

(And by sandbox, I 'mostly' just mean stopify.)

Ah, fair enough. FWIW, I was also kind of surprised that it worked. 🙂

Curious if any CLJS tooling out there has an answer for Node REPLs crashing on exceptions. More specifically, when you're trying to run unit tests in the REPL. We're migrating some tests off promise chaining to leverage core.async instead.
